Hurry! Hurry! Step right up!  It's a collection of hand painted carnival mirrors that will take you back to that old fashioned, turn-of-the-century traveling circus just outside of town.  Each distortion mirror is an oil painting that uniquely depicts some of the show's performers.  These mirrors are the artist's original proofs for the Quarter Dollar Sign Company.  Note the "quarter dollar" located somewhere in the painting's design.

Welcome to Dianne Cantrell's creative world of themed children's pianos.  This artistic collection of children's pianos is reminiscent of those fanciful, youthful days of early musical genius when every little pianist sat behind his or her keyboard and set out to rule the world through those first notes. Whether mimicking the birds in the garden or following the siren's call through some magical lands, these mixed media presentations will take you back to your earliest musical inclinations.
