About Me
Hello & Welcome to Mississippi Handpainted Keepsakes where anything is possible with a paint brush and some paint.
My name is Tammy and I live just outside of Kosciusko, located in Central Mississippi, also known as the "Beehive of the Hills". I am married to a wonderful and handsome man. We have a daughter, a son, a son-in-law, and a beautiful granddaughter whom we just adore.
I started painting in 1998 and I learn new things each time I pick up a paint brush. I saw Priscilla Hauser on television one day and that started it all for me. I just had to learn to paint, so my journey started. I tried and tried and just couldn’t get it. Finally I saw Donna Dewberry on another television show, so I tried again. Finally my dream was coming true.
I went to Donna’s seminar and became a One Stroke Certified Instructor. I could actually paint and I could paint something so that you could tell what it was. I could finally teach others to do what I loved….to paint and make their dreams come true. For my class information please contact me by using the "Contact me" button on this site.
But my goal had not been reached, I still couldn’t paint the way I wanted, so I searched and searched and in 2002 I found a place called “Tole Town” on the internet. I finally learned with the help of Lorrie and Susan and all my friends at Tole Town how to float, shade and highlight & lots of other techniques.
But still I can’t get enough so each time I pick up a brush I have to try and learn something new. I don’t think I will ever reach my goals though as I can never learn enough about painting. But at least I am doing what I love best and that is painting.
