When I first began to sell my paintings online I created the name "Painted by Tammy." Recently I began to consider a new name and new online presence. I wanted something that reflected the center of my life (my Creator) as well as a name that symbolized who I am and what my art means to me.
When we consider a "porch," we often have fond memories of relaxing, visiting with friends and family. A porch is often thought of as very laid back, unpretentious, and that's exactly who I am.
We love to remember sitting on Grandma's or maybe Mama's front porch, listening to relatives strum instruments, make homemade ice cream, etc. These are the feelings I want to evoke with my art and the name "Creator's Porch." For if Mama's and Grandma's porch are wonderful places to sit with family....what greater feeling can there be when thinking of sitting on God's Porch?
I love symbolism. To me the word "Creator" in my title has 2 meanings. It can simply refer to the creator of the artwork, or to me the deeper meaning of THE Creator, my Heavenly Father.
It is my hope that you enjoy my art. When selecting art, always choose that which speaks to your soul, evokes emotion, or triggers a memory.
Thanks for looking!
