It started when my friend Miz Ayn ended her lease at a Vintage Resale Store in Lubbock.

Anicia and I (and Eric who you see painting) renovated the gray building (see above) and after a few LEOPARD SPOTS, our new space we called FAUX REAL was born.

Once opened in Dublin, the name changed to deep in the ART
and the web name was available. (Can you believe that?) We think it was just meant to be!

Sandy Parker
finally DID SOMETHING about her interest in art. After a lifelong journey in "everything-hand-made" ... she gave herself a present she'd always wanted ... a STUDIO of her own. A studio with mango and lime green walls, splashes of red and brown, and buckets full of all the tools you would ever need to make or re-make nearly anything. What began as a creative workplace soon became a gathering place for other creative people.

We ALL need to exercise our creative muscles!
After years of scrapbooking and creating altered books, paper and photo arts, jewelry, and domestic arts, she discovered (or remembered) how GOOD ART IS for all of us.

"What I found is that other people need creative expression and fellowship too. There's just something fun and even "life giving" about sharing the creative process with others."

A surprising move from Lubbock to Dublin, Texas
Rodney, Sandy's husband, became the new Band Director for Dublin High School and he and the kids were off to school in August. She set off to plant her feet, and paints, and tools in a new creative space. She found a spot in the
Mini Mall in Dublin and, again, the lime-green painting began!
Soon, new friends like Sandy and Karen below were
learning new tricks and enjoying making things too!

DEEP IN THE ART is a creative space!

Phenominoes™ are born!
One of the classes we were enjoying was the DOMINO class. It took off at the classroom as well as a product to sell. We still offer that class ... but also off the commercial product too.
