God is Love.
Update May 2024
I'm thrilled to announce I received two ribbons for photographs at the 2024 Mid-Missouri Artists spring show, an "Artistic Excellence" award for an image of the 2024 solar eclipse, and an "Artististic Merit" award for "Cedar Waxwing Seated in Cedar." Both images may be seen in the portfolio above.
In the A Rose Designs Bonanza booth you will find hand-painted ornaments and magnets, original press-printed note cards, and wall prints.
"Love the prints! Thanks very much. The children I work with just love the photos and talking about the caterpillar turning into the butterfly."
"I love the cardinal pair. How neat! I love how you are showing him and her. If a family had a whole set, they could teach the kids bird identification with them."
"Allena's cards are so beautiful. Everyone I give them to just loves them!"
"I discovered her [Allena's] artistic
brilliance extended to the visual arts and she was creating magnificent
paintings of birds on magnets. I bought one and I recommend that everyone do the
same. It is original, artisanal, elegant, and (as with all things Allena does)
a product of great passion for both the process and the subject."
