What Inspired This Art?
The last few years, in fact most of my artist career to date, has been heavy on the commission side. This past year especially I worked with many commissions of houses, portraits, photographs, etc. These definitely lend more toward watercolor, which I can make (generally) look tighter and more realistic.
Getting back to chalk pastel is a sign that I’m moving forward toward creating art for deeper Self expression. Chalk is a beautiful, messy, textured medium which speaks directly from my heart.
There is this balanced place of creating I seek which encompasses some commission work, which helps me focus and create in a goal oriented, deadline type of way, and creating with media like chalk in wild, fluid and expressive art from the Soul.
Speaking of commissions…
Wedding Map
Hand-Painted, Personalized Map
on Ragged Edge Fine Art Paper
8 x 10 Inches
$350
My latest commission is this absolutely joyful love story turned map featuring the eastern coast of America. The ragged edged paper has a certain pirate map feel to it, so without question I’ll be using this paper again for map work.
What is a wedding map? It’s a personalized map including all the places and details close the heart of the couple’s love story. I like to include details like where they met, their venue, their pets, their wedding colors - anything that will share their story in this unique art form.
Wedding season for the fall is coming up! Maps are such a special, personalized gift that your friends will cherish for their whole lives. Hit reply to this email to chat with me more about your map commission.
