Custom Map Painting
Custom Map Painting
We all have “that place.” That place you proposed, that place you went every summer as a child, that place you found or lost yourself. This offering is meant to commemorate our connection to place.
I will paint an animal, plant, feature, or simple scene for you representing your experience in your location of choice.
Here’s how it works:
I will obtain the map! Apologies, but this is for US locations only at the moment as good international maps are much more difficult to find.
It will be around 17x23-24x30 in size. Consistent or guaranteed sizes aren’t really possible.
This will be a gouache painting on found paper and therefore not archival. It may have folds, small tears, or even coffee rings if I find the “canvas” vintage.
With map in-hand and, if desired, a specified animal, plant, or natural feature you’d love to have depicted on its surface, I will create a custom piece for you or a loved one.
If you don’t specify a subject matter, I am more than happy to research and improvise based on the symbolic significance of why you’ve chosen the area you did and any details of your connection to it.
Please note that I won’t be taking any input or direction on composition, positioning, sizing, or other creative elements of the piece, only the significant place and object if specified.
I will ship it to you rolled in a tube!
