 Hello everyone! I am a new member of the VAST Team and want to take a moment to introduce myself! First of all I am very excited to be a part of such a talented and creative group of people! You are all very inspiring!

 I am originally from the New Jersey and Delaware area. I moved down to Florida for the second time in 2003 after getting married. My first stop in the Southwest Florida area was when I arrived here on the Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey circus train...yes I actually did run away and join the circus.

 I am so lucky to now be able to dedicate myself to creation full time.  The past year has been very successful, I have opened two Etsy shops, one for my fine art Evelyn McCPeters Art and one for animal portraiture Barking Dog Creations. 

 My most successful sale so far was to a collector in Australia! A terrific experience! The painting below is the one that's now on the other side of the world!

I look forward to getting to know everyone, learning and sharing. It is truly so valuable to be part of a team, everyone accomplishes so much more!

Thanks! Evelyn
