Phillybelle's Art

'Phillybelle' is Philly Rains,
artist, author, and antique dealer

After years of art instruction, and giving her art as gifts to friends and family, Philly became a professional, self representing, artist offering her work on eBay. She enjoys working in watercolor, Prismacolor pencil, soft pastels, & oils. She also loves creating mixed media art which may incorporate her own photography, vintage images, handmade and origami papers, vintage ribbon, exotic fibers, found objects, charms, trinkets, and anything else that catches her eye.

In 2005 Philly discovered Artist Trade Cards (ATCs,) or ACEOs (Art Cards Editions and Originals,) which are works of art, 2.5" x 3.5" in size. Her creations are in collections all over the U.S., as well as Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, Brazil and the UK.

She is also the author of ANRI Woodcarvings, a collectors guide to the vintage carvings from ANRI, Italy.
