She used to work in the scrappy industry, but moved on years ago to being a full time artist. I met her back in 2013, and we went to lunch at Taco Diner, then ran to Michael’s and Hobby Lobby when she came to the US on a trip. We had a great time! Anyway, I have wanted a piece of her art for years, but wasn’t sure I’d ever get one due to cost, and shipping to the US. We are having renovations done on our house, and I told my Dh that next year, my goal was to get a piece of her art to put in a specific place in our house as the topping on the cake. After having a rough go with a couple of health issues lately, he decided to surprise me with a commissioned piece. It’s supposed to be delivered today. I am beyond excited to own one of her beautiful masterpieces!🥰 (Click to enlarge)  |

How fun! I like my own photographs for art, but did find an artist I loved and got one of her paintings when we moved. It makes me smile every day! Enjoy your new piece!

I know the name. Was she a Garden Girl on the old Pea board?
Happy for you, that you are receiving a piece of her art.

KikiPea , I'm so glad you will be able to bring some of Wilna's spirit into your home. I do remember her, and I took a class from her years ago through Two Peas. I hope a bit of beauty will help with your healing. What a sweet hubby you have!

I love that your DH did this for you. How did he get her to do it? I looked at her website and cant find where she sells her work.

He got into my account and contacted her. I’m not sure if she actually sells premade pieces, or just does commissions. If you send her a FB or IG message, I’m sure she’d chat with ya! She’s just the sweetest. |

I love this! So years ago at a CKU I was in one of her classes and won a journal she had painted the cover of. I used it at the time, but also kind of wish I had saves it for something special. I will probably go dig it out today to look at it. I remember her just being so super nice and authentic back in the day! I want to say that was maybe 2002?

Loved her artsy scrapbook pages. I wish she was still doing You Tube videos (of her page process) and selling her page embellishments.

KikiPea, what a beautiful piece for your home! And what a sweet thing for your husband to do. I do remember Wilna from the old 2Peas site and her pages were very artfully done. She did seem like she would be a real sweetie.
