Nature-Inspired Handmade Originals by Mature Artists who have donated 58 years to Summerland, a Nonprofit.
The Best Things in Life are Handmade.
Original paintings, dyed sustainable textiles, & vintage trinkets from South America & Mexico were created in Mexico & Ecuador by U.S. nonprofit volunteer artists, Jolene ( for 24 yrs) & Jacquie ( for 35 yrs), who have “Paid It Forward” for a total of 58 years; they are both still volunteering. Jolene has been a refined published painter for decades. Jacquie’s fiber art is ethical and climate-conscious. She made a commitment to the planet in 1962, moving beyond just design, beauty, and quality to include urgent environmental messages within each piece.
The four goals of this webpage are to (1) share the history of Summerland with the world, (2) enable two elderly female volunteer artists to supplement their Social Security pensions, and have the time to continue volunteering in Summerland projects. Both artists are over 75 years of age, slightly younger than when Grandma Moses was discovered. (3) Summerland is giving you a free eBook. And, finally, (4) We hope that during your visit to this site, you will look at the work by both artists.
Please pass this page on to eco-conscious individuals who may appreciate our free book and nature-inspired artistic expressions.
