About Visual Design, Fine Arts and Photography Associates

Hello, my name is Eileen Slifer and I am the main artist associated with this business.  Years ago I began offering my calligraphy services from my home, and eventually I began adding and exploring many other artistic services!  As the business grew, I began working with a "pool" of associated artists who in varied capacities contribute to the many projects we take in.  It is my pleasure to introduce some of our associates to you and to promote their talents!  Please scroll down to read artist's bios and view their work.  I thank you for your interest in our services and any patronage over the years!

Artist's Bio:  Laura Hemsley

Growing up, Laura's favorite subject in school was always art.  She never lost that interest, and as a young mother of three boys, she began hand-painting Christmas balls to bring in extra income so that she could stay at home to raise her sons.  Today, her painting has turned into a full-time career.  Among her many specialties are ornaments and glassware featuring Chesapeake Bay themes and other hand-painted motifs; illustration and wall murals.   She also does face painting for children's parties in the Kent Island, Stevensville, Queenstown, Centreville, Easton and other Mid-Shore Maryland areas.  Her work is well-known in the Chesapeake Bay area and beyond, and she does many customized orders for many clients.  Her latest endeavor in 2006 was the illustration of The Tree With No Lights. Laura resides on Kent Island, Maryland where the beauty of the Chesapeake Bay is a daily inspiration.
