26 years ago I started looking for a new career. I happened upon Edens shop in Knoxville while living in Blaine Tn. I started painting furniture for them. They closed. I was so disappointed. However, I found a local artist in Knoxville who taught stained glass. So that is the route I went. I learned how to use a ruler and how to draw. In 2008, the market crashed and so I quit selling stained glass jewelry boxes and started taking my skills to painting with oils and collage art. Today, I am selling in 7 shops nationwide. I also sell on Etsy GinasArtHammond. I hope to keep painting and doing collage soon to be offered in a Knoxville shop. Thank you. gina hammond
