Lovely Town Watercolor & Ink Art Print, gift for neighbor, hostess gift, gift for the newlywed

Lovely Town watercolor & ink art print

All of the surface illustrations and designs on my ceramic pieces start as sketches on paper. Some of these drawings turn into longer sessions where I can explore an idea and create a whole series of paintings. I'm happy to be able to bring these to my Art Print Collection. Each Art Print is matted and signed, it includes a backing board and arrives in a clear cellophane bag. Easily fits into standard 11" x 14" frame (Michael's has a great selection of frames!)

Lovely Town is love letter to my neighborhood. In the early stages of the COVID-19 lockdown, I took many walks through my neighborhood and was so moved by the experience of a community working together during a difficult time. Optimistic messages written on driveways, teddy bears in windows, birthday parades with handmade signs. We were all quarantined & scared, but the mood felt hopeful. I found this time to be so inspiring and have created a whole series of ceramic pieces and paintings with this imagery.

Many thanks to Broome County Artisan Gallery and jurors of the Members Show for giving my ‘Lovely Town’ an honorable mention award! This show ran for the month of December 2020, and was filled with incredible artwork made during the year of quarantine.

A larger version of the painting was recently sold to UHS/Wilson Hospital in Binghamton NY as part of their permanent collection, to be displayed in the new Wilson Tower hospital addition that opened in May 2024.

This makes a great gift for a neighbor, or a hostess gift!

If you are in the Binghamton NY area and would like to arrange a local pickup, please mention that in the messages to seller and I will refund your shipping cost. Thanks!
