Dieshawn Holmes picked out this art print, entitled My Lovely Tree by artist Paola Zakimi. Dieshawn says, “I purchased this print from her for my daughter; it is very different and it’s hand painted. The art work is awesome and unique.”
Thanks for the tip, Dieshawn! I love Paola’s work, and I also think her dolls are amazing! You can find more of her work in Paola’s Etsy shop.
Dieshawn is pretty talented herself and runs Angelic Soaps and Gifts, a collection of her handcrafted herbal soaps, lotions and more!
