Painting By ME was created by my husband Esteban and myself, Macienne Trotman. Most of our lives as individuals, we were both artists and when we met, we formed an artistic alliance that continues to enhance and surprise everyone including ourselves. Really! We do amaze one another after our paintings or any type of artwork that is completed.
Because we compliment one another, we make the perfect art team. I'm the yang and Esteban's the ying when it comes down to crafting our art projects.
Welp a little about myself! My artistic skills date back when I was 5 yrs old when my mom screamed at the top of her lungs from an amazing painting of a tree with the faces of our ancestors all over her walls. Well, I thought it was amazing! Unfortunately, she didn't. After punishment which became very graphic after that, I've discovered that I had a gift. Ha Ha! I later dabbled in grade school to high school and so on. I never took up art in college and I regret it til this day. It took many years to perfect this gift but when I met my amazing husband when I was a U.S National Guardsman, he guided me with his formal knowledge of sketching, shading, and painting. However, I was a terrible student, and it took way too many years to become confident in my work. But my friends and family are continuously stunned. That in itself is very gratifying!!!
Now a little about Esteban! Where should I start...30 years Law Enforcement, 49 years Martial Arts, 20+ years D.A.R.E. Officer, 20+ years Karate instructor. Plus a former U.S. Coast Guard Maritime Enforcement Officer. And I did mention little. He is an exceptional artist and builder of almost anything. So if, you place wood in his hands, hours later, you'll see a bench! On the painting view point, he has had some training with painting during college as an elective. His experience in art also dates back as a child like myself and well into his teens. As an adult he has sold original artwork in oil paintings and has made the local paper with exquisite paintings. Due to his career, he couldn't make the time to continue painting except for leisure. I think that was the attraction about him that he knew how to use a brush on canvas! LOL
I truly hope there is something of interest to you or someone special to order a painting as a gift. We do offer customized services; such as, painting portraits or landscapes from your own photos as long as there aren't any copyright issues. You can contact us via email paintingxme@gmail.com or call 315-263-4218 for any custom painting and/ or information.
Therefore, we both welcome and invite you to view our paintings and perhaps purchase a print if you are not interested in buying an original canvas piece.
