Puddles of Paint

Meet the Artist

Susan Kelley is a Decorative Painting Teacher, Author, and Designer. She lives in Georgia with her family. You may have seen her designs published in magazines and books. Susan has authored four decorative painting books, and she has co-authored five other painting books. Susan also publishes an Ornament CD each year packed with 24 fun ornament designs to keep you busy all season long! You are sure to fall in love with her whimsical bunnies, candycane nosed snowmen and beautiful roses. She focuses on Tole painting, but she is also certified in One Stroke painting and she is certified in Ken Brown Calligraphy. Scroll down to sign the guestbook, sign up for the Puddles of Paint Website Update email list, or to send Susan an email to be notified when she puts handpainted items up for auction on ebay!

In 2001, Susan designed, created and still maintains this website, Puddles of Paint. Graphic design is second only to decorative painting! Each website page background and just about every little graphic image and decoration that you see while visiting this site was designed and created by Susan. But still, her love for painting supersedes all else... so...............

In 2004, Susan partnered with Lorrie Weber of ToleTown, a well-rounded online decorative painting community. ToleTown brings its members fresh new designs, internet classes and much, MUCH more every single month! With new things to do, see, paint, get involved with, and learn about each month, it's no wonder that ToleTown is growing by the minute!! If you love to paint, make friends, paint, keep fresh on upcoming trends, paint and paint..... *grin* then you will just love painting with Susan and Lorrie at ToleTown!!

In 2008, Puddles of Paint and ToleTown are still growing by adding more online classes, more CDs and pattern packets, and even lots of video clips to demonstrate painting techniques. Although the painting industry, as a whole, took a dip over the past couple of years, it seems as though there will always be a market for quality, hand painted items.
