I live outside of Philadelphia in beautiful and historic Chester County. The picture below are those who call my house "HOME"...my daughter who attends UNC-Chapel Hill and the dog, Bailey, who is my Homeland Security!
The Sad Parts... My husband has been in a nursing home due to brain damage from an accident. About Me... I have always loved history and archaeology. Having some Native American ancestry made me even more inquisitive, so I graduated from Penn State as an Anthropology major concentrating in Native American archaeology and a minor in religious studies. The spirituality of the American Indian is one of the most intriguing concepts I've explored. So, I'm happy to share with you the history and what to look for so that if you are purchasing an authentic Native American item, it is indeed truly authentic. The history is rich, deep and laden with tradition. I'm not an artist. I don't own a gallery. My information is from a concerned consumer's perspective. I have no governmental, organizational or store-front ties. My prior employments had nothing to do with artisans or Native Americans. Yet, I've always had a deep desire to know more. As my home page states, I was in Santa Fe and didn't understand what I was looking at...the "why", "what", "where", "then", "how", "now".... I've studied the forced movements and displacements of these peoples. I've studied the interworkings of their cultures with the environment and spirituality and the products produced. Some of these works of art are the most beautiful in the world and becoming some of the most desirable collectibles in the world. Yet, some of these people living in the United States go cold in the winter, go hungry, are not recognized for being the artisans that they are, and I wanted to do something about it. BUT WHAT...? This Site.... I had the fortune of being laid off from a highly unethical employer. It was time to start my quest to have a presence on the web around an ethical and helpful concept. Here's my story on how Support Native American Art started. My neighbor told me about a web site package he bought that would make him money, but it was a "Buy-Buy-Buy" concept and I asked "Why-Why-Why"??? This site has the tools to help with starting an on-line business. There is a step-by-step guide to get the user off on the right foot - developing the best site concept, brainstorming, writing, refining, keep writing, and so much more!. It's clear cut, well written, alot of examples and lots of support along the way. And, I'm always thinking of new topics to add and ways to stay in touch. The site is called "Site Build It!", affectionately called SBI! by the users. It takes care of all the technical stuff - all I have to do is write. I'm not a techie, but I like to write! I explored their site off and on for 3 months, emailed some of the site owners asking them about their SBI experiences, thought it over, talked with friends, .... before I purchased the package and haven't looked back. With this package, you can sell hard goods, be an online auction seller, sell a service, sell e-goods or be an Infopreneur. It's not a "get rich quick" scheme...what goes "live" is the result of thought-provoking exercises and work. After all, a successful business does not happen over-night. It's exciting because the subject of the site comes from me...it's mine. On top of everything else they offer, SBI! taught me ways to make some extra income from my passion. I hope you've enjoyed my web site. If you've ever given any thought to starting your own web site, even if you have "nothing" to sell except your passion, look into Site Build It!
