About the artist Pat Derby
I’ve been selling my work since I started doing pastel portraits on the boardwalk in Wildwood New Jersey in 1966 at the age of 18.Since then I’ve had a boutique, painted pet portraits, painted women’s clothing and finally settled into handpainted personalized baby clothing because onesies never go “out of style”.
I currently sell my custom designs at the Orange County Marketplace in Costa Mesa, California.
I’ve been at this location for 25 years and have a strong customer base. I find that many of my “new” customers used to wear my designs when they were little and are now purchasing for their own children.
I try to come up with cute sayings to really make the items special.
* A little tip: Some folks put the outfit on the child’s Teddy bear after he or she outgrows it.
* If you are interested in portraits please email or call me for details
