Nana's Garden This centerpiece has an unusual shape because it was tied while growing. The pattern, soft florals on an antiqued yellow background, reminds me of Grandma's china.

	I fell in love with this little poem immediately (origin unknown, at least to me), which inspired my current interpretation. A limited edition (number 3 now available), I tailored it a bit to also represent the three cultures which make up the Puerto Rican identity. The setting is Old San Juan, with its distinctive colorful houses and cobalt-brick roads. However you look at it, it's a celebration of women and what we can accomplish. Hillary C. didn't make it this time, but some day... Three Wise Women $ 500.00

Here is a piece which really is appreciated more the longer you look at it. It's our Dolphin Centerpiece, but it's really much more than just a centerpiece...it's a Showcase Centerpiece. The only other time I've painted a dolphin this size was on Her World, my first place winner at a show years ago (see the Awards page). Crafted from a single, huge higuera, various sea animals decorate the base, which rests on four cowrie seashells (gathered on one of our beach days). Men love this as much as women...I say that because just imagine this in your guy's office or "wreck" room.			Dolphin Centerpiece 13"L x 8"W x 8"D $ 400.00
