Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Hello everyone! I've been extremely busy in the studio the past few months and i can tell you that many things are happening with this little business of mine and MANY more to come. Exciting!

But, my Mod Owls, well, Summer and Fall, were recently featured on the today Show! Their 60th Anniversary special to be exact this past Friday. Frank Fontana from HGTV picked items that he felt worked for a low budget nursery. Let's face it, the majority of the economy now is doing just that. I am so honored that Frank and Posh Tots picked my owls for the show, they looked great! Please watch the video and enjoy. Ok back to work and football practice.

Piper's Room

I received some happy feedback from a customer yesterday along with a picture of their adorable nursery. That's one of my name banners hanging above the crib:) So cute. I love the crib and simplicity of the entire room. It definitely has a coziness to it as well.

LOVE it and thanks Theresa for sharing Piper's room with us:).

Don't forget....30% off in my shop with code NOV30.

Just Popping In:)

Print in shop- " A Cowboy and Indian"

Hello everyone:) I feel like sometimes I have to make a grand entrance when I appear on this blog because I'm not consistent about it. I'm just an extremely busy artist with three growing boys who are involved in everything from sports to friends. They are getting older, 15 14 & 11, to be exact.

And my 15 yr old, who's about to be 16, will be driving his own car within a couple of months. :/

I've become very busy with this art life of mine which I love. Besides painting for Mariah Carey and Nick Canon, I've been doing work for many other people also. I guess I'm really loving the fact that my customers and the rest of the world, are really wanting to buy art for themselves. I LOVE that. Art makes people feel good regardless of the price. Their is definitely a connection between a great art find and it's soon to be owner:).

So for now, it's back to invoicing my accounts. Don't miss the deal I have going on in my ETSY shop either. I call it the pre holiday sale. Get 30% OFF your entire purchase from now until November 20th, only a few days left. Use code NOV30 at checkout. One transaction per customer.

Have a great day- Marnie V.

Love My New Printer:)

Taking a break to brag about my new printer! I love it, it makes the most beautiful prints, and you will love them:). I finally splurged a few months back on my new Epson R2880. Used with archival pigment inks that are guaranteed to last a lifetime. These beautiful babies are printed on Hahnemuhle paper. It's an eco friendly paper also that's made out of sugar cane...love that!

I now offer over 100 different prints in my shop. If you have a minute of two, you can check them out here.

It's Sunday and I'm off to a Kidney benefit today that I've donated some art to.

Enjoy your Sunday!

Artist Marnie V. paints the nursery ceiling of Mariah Carey and Nick Canon

Hello everyone.....it's been a while and i hope everyone realizes that I've been very busy. I obviously put my clients first before I blog since I'm barely on here. It's hard but the orders are stacking:).

A month ago, I had the honor of working with Gail Sedigh of AFK.

Creating gorgeous nurseries in LA Ca. is was she does best. Everything, from her own line of furniture, decor, linens, drapes, and accessories......she brings it all in. She is the manufacturer which is even cooler.

So when Mariah asked for Gail to create her nursery for her two little babies.....Gail was so sweet to think of me to do Mariah's dreamy ceiling. I also painted the window and the scene inside for her. It was a pretty garden scene with little lambs in it. But, after I left, Mariah loved the ceiling so much that she wanted the clouds to be in the window. so she hired a local artist in LA to copy my ceiling. I think the garden scene actually would have been pretty in the room, but the dreamy sky...is breath taking:). It was an amazing experience and met some amazing people. Along with Mariah and Nick themselves.

I also was happy to here that my ceiling is her favorite part!......Thanks Mariah!

Well.....have a great week- Marnie V.
