homebodies is lucky to be able to showcase and sell artwork by local artists such as Aleta Boyce. These beautiful floral paintings are full of depth and would add visual interest to any room. Aleta has had one-artist shows in national as well as Utah galleries and her works have been purchased by a state senator and Miller Motorsports as well as receiving mulitiple awards. These original paintings are not only stunning, they're reasonably priced at only $60 each.
