Are you looking for a unique gift for someone special? An original painting or drawing of a family member or beloved pet may be just the solution. Dixie Frank is a local artist that specializes in painting both people and pets. Her paintings capture the personality and details that make her subjects come to life. She works in a variety of mediums including acrylic paint, graphite and colored pencil. She can work from your photographs or will photograph the subject herself when possible. A portrait by Dixie would be a great gift for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, or Father's Day!  You can see all of Dixie's work on her website www.designsbydixie.net

Another great gift idea for the little ones is Dixie's children's book which she wrote and illustrated. "I'm So Glad You Saved Me" is the story of a rescued European Starling, who became a much loved member of his new family.
