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! |

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.
