{"title":"Alida Akers ","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlida Akers is originally from south-central Kentucky, in the United States. She would never have had the opportunity to sell her works to art collectors in Australia, New Zealand, France, Spain, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, and other states in the United States if she had not been exposed on the Internet.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI received my first formal art training at Western Kentucky University, where I earned a degree in education and fine arts, with a double major in painting and drawing. I received another type of art training during my graduate studies at Case Western University in Cleveland, OH, where I studied medical illustration.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCurrently, I devote most of my time in the studio to three different series of paintings. The first, Ode to the Deco Cottage, is inspired by the fantastic art deco pottery of British designer Clarice Cliff. These paintings are done in acrylic on canvas and feature whimsical landscapes in bright colors. The second series is titled Moorcroft Musings and is inspired by the Arts and Crafts era painting and the early enamels of Moorcroft pottery. The third series, titled Storybook Cottage Series, is done in watercolor and is inspired by vintage storybooks and greeting cards. It depicts small red-roofed cottages that symbolize home and hearth and offer a peaceful respite from the outside world.\u003c\/p\u003e ","products":[{"product_id":"0391-october-laundry","title":"October Laundry","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBased on the same concept as mosaics or paint-by-number activities, diamond painting is a creative hobby that involves placing tiny, colored “diamonds” on a printed image to create a mosaic painting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDiamond painting allows for a relaxing and meditative experience, as well as the satisfaction of creating a true work of art.
