Margie's Art Studio

Why I Do what I do: My hope is that my inspirational art work invokes motivation within you to overcome those obstacles that try to stop you from venturing out onto your own path towards your own dreams by capturing images that show perseverance, hope and dreams through my whimsical characters. My artwork is born for my need to express motivation, encouragement, inspiration, and hope for myself and others. I don't want my art work to be just another pretty picture, but a tool that when you look at it, it serves as a reminder for you that you can have hope, live your dreams, be different, overcome insecurities, heal, have fun, run after your passions, and smile! What I can help you with: I currently offer art prints, gifts, and originals that convey encouragement for sale here, Zazzle and Shaker's Diner in Orlando. I also have Margie's Art Studio blog with posts on art tutorials and life lessons on fear, patience, happiness... "Life is a Circus - Life lessons from the Greatest Show on Earth." Circus characters teach us about being fearless, taking risks, taming our inner critic and many other lessons. Available on Lulu.com. FREE monthly printables in your inbox when you sign up; Mother's day, Father's Day, Christmas cards. Art has always been a big part of my life. I have been drawing for as long as I can remember. I used to love to staple paper together to create little books and illustrate stories like Cinderella. It was my escape from a not so happy childhood to happy lands where girls ruled and wore beautiful dresses and the Princess was the hero. My name is Margie Forestier and I am an artist, youth care worker at an emergency shelter for at-risk youth, mother of two beautiful children, and always looking for a way to make this world a better place.You must be the change you wish to see in the world." - Gandhi Every purchase helps to support causes that help at risk children.
