The artist name is Flor Larios and she is a self taught artist- just like myself! She paints beautiful reproductions of paintings/icons/images of Mary. She also does other women like Frida, storybook characters and angels, but I like the Madonna reproductions. I've purchased a broach, a box and pendant, and recently a little something else that a friend of mine may receive when I see her next ;) Here is her blog, and here is her Etsy shop. Below is a reproduction of our Lady of Guadelupe that I would love to get my hands on!
She wrote me an email when I ordered from her last to say she checked out my store. She told me that she is not a religious person herself, but that her Madonna work is inspired by her mother who loves the Blessed Virgin. I think that if her mother loves the Blessed Virgin that much and if Flor is making all this Mary art, that it will only be a matter of time before she comes to love Mary herself. Mary has a way of charming her artists, I should know! In the mean time, I'll be praying for Flor and buying more of her whimsical Madonna art.

So lovely. What have you purchased from her?
I've purchased a brooch, a box and pendant of the of Holy Family similar to the one here, and an image of Our Lady on wood. Everything has been very reasonably priced, I thought.
Hopefully someday i can help you achieve your goal of a whimsical house... ;)
Just bought one of her paintings. "Black Angel Girl". So beautiful!
@Christina, I was thinking the same thing! I thought...how could I afford an interior designer to redo my house? Oh yeah, just wait from some free family labor! Now you just have to graduate from high school...
@Karen- I am so happy you like her work too! I will check out that painting right now.
Thank you so much Sarah! Beautiful post :)
