About Me

My photo
Welcome, my name is Sylvia Smiser. I am a self taught artist. I enjoy creating one of a kind art dolls and sculpted figures. Vintage Halloween styled artwork and Dia de los Muertos art dolls is what comes naturally to me and what I am most passionate about creating. I am a proud member of the wonderful art groups EHAG (Eclectic Halloween Artists Guild) and PFATT (Primitive Folk Art Talk & Tea). I am a participating artist at Ghoultide Gathering. I am honored to have been published in Art Doll Quarterly, Dolls magazine, Somerset Studio Gallery and Celebrate 365 Magazine. I am also a Physical Therapist and Mama to 15 year old Boy/Girl Twins. My husband is a wonderful man who is very supportive of my art and together with our two doggy fur kids we make one happy, busy family.

Happy Birthday Penny and Thank you!

Today would have been Penny McAllister's 59th Birthday and to celebrate her life and the wonderful, caring, encouraging impact she had on the Pfatties, her family and friends.  Many of her family, friends, and Pfatties all over are launching balloons today to celebrate her life.

Although I did not have the pleasure of meeting Penny.  I myself have benefitted from her wonderful encouraging wisdom through her influence on the lovely ladies of PFATT.  PFATT is a beautiful, supportive, encouraging group of artists know as the PFATTIES.  I hear of Penny quite often and how proud Penny would have been of those PFATTIES who have recently submitted artwork for publication and those that have been published.  I have heard that Penny was so much fun to be around and how much laughter was shared with Penny.  Ultimately, I have learned about the wonderful person Penny was through them and I too wanted to celebrate Penny and say Thank you for the person you were and the influence you passed on so that artists like myself would be welcome and encouraged with open arms.

So I too felt moved to launch some balloons...

THANK YOU PENNY



HAPPY BIRTHDAY PENNY
