About Us

I started painting in 1981, at which time I named my business Anna's Frame of Mind and it has stayed that for all these years.  When I started I was painting on glass.  Then I progressed to canvas, then wood.  In general, I would paint on anything that would stand still long enough to get some paint on it.  I feel I have found my niche in life because I love it so.  Also because it seems to please so many others that have received my items as gifts or have purchased them for themselves.

In 1983 I participated in a project, along with 2000 others, to paint Christmas Ornaments to decorate a tree at the Smithsonian Institute in tribute to Decorative painting.  Altogether 361 members from 43 states, Canada and Saudi Arabia were selected, mine being one of them.  In 2005 I was also selected to have an ornament hang in the Library of Congress.  Also in 2005, I was published in Decorative Artists Workbook with an article about the guest bedroom in our home that I painted to look like a garden, picket fence and all.

In 2008, at an art convention, I painted a Telephone Insulator.  I was hooked.  I thought they were great fun and the public seemed to take to them right off.  So I started painting them and made that part of my business, sort of a subsidiary, and called it Insulator Art.  I thought that anyone looking for insulators and Googled them would find them easier if I called it by that name.
