~Our Beautiful Daughter, beloved, sister, grandchild and friend
January 12, 1990 - June 15, 2007
I miss your fun-loving, vivacious personality and most of all your hugs and words, "I love you, mom."
To read about Brianna's fight for her life, you'll find her story here.I am Iva Wilcox of Iva's Creations. I have always loved creating folk art and collectibles that reflect a bygone era. All of my work is dedicated to our beautiful, vivacious 17-year-old daughter Brianna Grant, who died in June during a bone marrow transplant to cure myeloid dysplastic syndrome, or MDS. As an artist too, Brianna was my artistic partner and just beginning her love of all things vintage. I carry her in my heart always, and she is with me while I create.
I use many vintage embellishments, such as antique photos, crepe paper, Victorian scrap images, tinsel and ornaments. I scour thrift stores and garage sales for unique items to include.
All of my work is hand made by me and signed and dated. I have a hard time parting with each one. Right now, my art has been a great solace, as have the many friends and artists I have met along the way.
I sell my work on Etsy, eBay and from my website Ivascreations.com.
Remember - each day is a gift....Iva
