Len and Violet took early retirement and moved to Brookings in 2000. "We continue to love living in Paradise!" Please call us at 541-469-9522 and come visit our Artist's Studio and Gallery. You can talk to Len about his painting "work in progress" and learn what new product is being created. If you are on vacation and don't have room to transport purchases, we can ship it for you and most major credit cards are accepted. You might get lucky if Violet has fresh, baked cookies to eat!
