She Turns Photos Into Mailbox Art

She Turns Photos Into Mailbox Art FARM HOME Miscellaneous 33-6-32 Dana Miserez and her husband, Mark, operate a thriving business painting farm scenes onto custom mailboxes. Mark does all the prep and finish work, while Dana is the artist. She creates a unique design based on your specifications using an air brush, automotive paint, and two coatings of automotive clear coat. She'll work from a photo you provide, or create a scene you describe. "These are high quality paintings - realistic scenes of whatever the customer wants," says Miserez. "I don't use patterns. I paint each mailbox freehand, so no two are ever alike." The mailboxes are powder-coated high-quality metal. "We add two coatings of automotive clear coat to protect the paint. This finishing process helps to maintain the brilliance of the paint and is weather and fade-resistant, just like the finish on a vehicle," says Miserez. Three different sizes of mailboxes are available. Prices range from $115 to $200 depending on the size of the mailbox and whether one or both sides are painted.
