Nature-Inspired Handmade Originals by Mature Artists who have donated 57 years to Summerland, a Nonprofit.

Original paintings, dyed natural textiles, & vintage trinkets from South America & Mexico were created in Mexico & Ecuador by U.S. nonprofit volunteer artists, Jolene (23 yrs) & Jacquie (34 yrs), who have “Paid It Forward” for a total of 57 years; they are both still volunteering.

The four goals of this webpage are to (1) share the history of Summerland with the world, (2) enable two elderly female volunteer artists to supplement their Social Security pensions, and have the time to continue volunteering in Summerland projects. Both artists are over 75 years of age, slightly younger than when Grandma Moses was discovered. (3) Summerland is giving you a free eBook. And, finally, (4) We hope that during your visit to this site, you will look at the work by both artists.

Please pass this page on to eco-conscious individuals who may appreciate our free book and nature-inspired artistic expressions.
