	<h3>Our Mission</h3>
<p></p>Reincarnations was created in 1985 with the 
goal of creating fun, functional art for fun people. 
Michael and Kali would rescue damaged or abandoned 
furniture and give it a new life as a work of whimsical 
art, which would then bring a splash of color and a sense 
of happiness to its new home.  Today, our mission remains unchanged 
as we create new works of hand painted furniture from both new 
and vintage furniture, as well as custom decor works and hand painted 
murals</p>
	<h2>The Artists</h2>
	<h3>Michael Vain</h3>
<p>Reincarnations was created by Michael Vain as a vehicle for his creative talents, and as a way to earn extra income while raising two daughters on his own.  Originally conceived as a means to give old, discarded furniture a new life, Reincarnations has shown works of painted furniture in prestigious galleries across the country, and has exhibited at juried contemporary craft exhibitions.  Today, Michael continues to produce some of the most unique painted furniture and contemporary craft items found anywhere.</p>
