Montana's Best Kept Secrets

Webfetti.com (Ike) is a nickname I received at 14 while working at a full-service Texaco gas station as the "Chore Girl." The Guys razed me about my real name, Eileen, which was tongue tying sometimes. So one day, they Christened me "Ike". The Owner reached down into a bright silver aluminum bucket full of baby blue colored water, crossed my forehead with a soft moist touch, & gave me a shiny yellow, rubber ducky that was floating in the water. When I asked why...I was told, "So we can yell at you!" Then The guys sent back to work with a new name. At age 16, I added the asterisk * to create my sovereignty for uniqueness originality, and my Autonomy. Its been with me ever since."

Currently, Ike* moved from Montana for she never sold an original painting in the 9 years she lived in Bigfork Montana. Kalispell/Bigfork hold the distinction of being the only town/village she ever lived in that she never sold a single original painting in her life! The Artist then moved to Texas and will sell her artwork to Texans who may love her work.

Ike* is still the imaginative Enchanter who draws for the love of it! She is captivated with the nature of reality, and adores the way that light echoes across shadows that creep along. Likes the broken tooth, bent whiskers, chipped hooves, stormy clouds, foggy mornings, blue skies, majestic mountain ranges, hands, mechanical stuff, and sometimes even people. In fact, she can draw just about anything she wants too. In short, Ike* likes to draw the way it is and not the way she wants it to be.

She always starts a drawing right side up, then turns the drawing and finishes drawing upside down to get a another perspective and to see any flaws. Sometimes she goes sideways . But all the time along the creative process, she puts the drawing or painting in front of a mirror to see if its in accurate proportions to her satisfaction. When the finished drawing or painting looks good in a mirror. She then puts the artwork at the furthest point away from her . She wants to make sure it looks good far away and well as close up. Once the work is complete she then frames it. This may seems strange to some folks but as Ike* says, "Seems normal to me."

First, there were two different ( Texas & Montana ) people with 2 kids each.

Our Cats disappeared in summer of 2001 in Texas. Now on look out for solid black Manx or a lynx Point Manx Kitten donated to us by someone. Abbey misses her cats and pals.
