art for your walls

About Me

"The biggest mistake people make in life is not making a living at doing what they most enjoy. -
Malcolm S. Forbes (1919-1990)"

I started this website for two very important reasons:

  • about mePAINTING - Leave me with colors, something to draw on, and I won't get bored!!...

    As a kid I painted a lot, but as strange as it might seem, in my teens, I was attracted more towards Science than Art.

    Looking back in time, I don't regret my decision, but my passion then, and now - after some forty years is still painting.


  • HOME DECOR - I always enjoyed decorating and having an "artistic eye"(as my friends say), in the past, I was asked by quite a few people for advise on how they should change the look of their homes.

    Also, I am quite handy with little home improvement projects around the house. I decided to explore more the world of home decor, so I educated myself as much as I could. In the end, passion for home decor blended quite well with my passion for art!


    Three Of UsThe two people that encouraged me the most to pursue my two passions were my husband and my son.


From Hobby To Business

I wanted to be able to share my ideas about wall decor, and of course to be able to find a way where I could advertise my artwork. While there are many ways you can market your artwork, I looked at the possibility of building a website.

"A website???" You will say.
"Do you know anything about web design, or about online businesses, or online Marketing?" These were the questions I didn't have an answer for.

Although I was thrilled to start a new venture, I knew it will be hard to be found on the Internet, specially for somebody like me: no web experience whatsoever, practically a "newbie", as my son teases me.

To keep my story short, during my journey in finding a way to built a website, I found "Get-Rich-Quick" schemes, websites that would "help" you earn thousands of dollars in the first week if you will sign with them, and so on, and so on...

Then I came across Site Built It!

After everything I had read and researched on it about running a successful on-line business, I decided to use it...It encouraged me the fact they have a "money back guarantee policy" and 30 days free trial period. And here I am...no regrets so far!

That's how I started to create the path on building my own online business...

Site Build It!

How Was It Possible?

SBI! has all of the tools necessary to create a successful website and they teach you how to use them, either you have a real product to sell, a passion or you want to share the knowledge about your favorite hobby.

You can build a site that works, too.See all these people? They are all different, with different skills, lives and stories to tell.

What do they have in common?? They found SBI.
And SBI helped them to find the perfect topic for their site(if they didn't have already one!), it built the site for them(if they didn't know how), SBI showed how to get the traffic for them, and it taught them how to make money with it, no matter what their passion was about!

Update - after three years

Where I am now?
I sell my paintings, and I'm continuously learning the business of having a website and everything related to it: brainstorm, write content for our visitors, edit, preview, delete, do more research to find more information, write more content...

Magic? No. Hard work? Yes. The Best Part Of It?...as my website grows, so do I, and so it does my knowledge about having an online business.



Even if you don't know how to decorate your walls, or you don't know anything about art, FOR SURE you have a HOBBY, a PASSION you can share it with the world!


SBI changed my life and I hope it will change yours, too...

To your success,
