 Art        Friendship        Nature

   my three favorite things unite together to create

SIXTEEN SISTERS

   Hand Painted Jackets, Handbags & Accessories

​

2016 was the inception of my art & design business

that would preserve special friendships

 and have a function ~ art on handbags.  

​

                                        Sixteen Sisters items are enhanced with my original artwork;

                                           all inspired by bold, creative, strong, empowered women~

                                                                  the identity of Sixteen Sisters.

                                                               Each original design directly ties

                                                                to the woman who inspired me

                                                                        and a form of nature

                                                                      that is her compliment.

                                                                Once the item is complete,

                                                           I'll name it after my inspirational  hero~

                                                                            such as ELLA

                                                            All jackets and handbags interest me ~

 they are a daily accessory that can really speak to who we are.

 Vintage handbags & jackets are my passion!

The history they "carry" is exquisite,

but also the new life that can be created on them

is what makes my days so fun! 

​

Painting on leather

is a fabulously freeing journey~

 each stroke of paint finds its way

into the intricate flow of the leather~

much like we as people~

strive for a flow of peaceful existence
