New Wedding Invitations/Drawings


I recently added Wedding Invitations to my Art Resume!

I found after I created these special drawings that these pictures will capture the love that is felt by this couple. I am again humbled that this will be apart of a wedding announcement that will indeed effect future generations to come. I had a thought that maybe one of the invitations will be saved for a few lifetimes. A bit of pressure I felt after being asked to create fun, whimsical, simple black and white drawings to mark this wedding event at a rural mountain winery.








It is my honor to help create something so special as ones wedding invitation. I already saw the "Save The Date" card with one of my Grape Strands (above) and it looks marvelous! She might use a different drawing on each section of the wedding invitation. The Printer added a font that looked a lot like the Grape Vine above; Elongated and ornate and changed the color so there is traces of green and purple laced among it. I will post the invitation after everyone has received it so I do not spoil the excitement.
All drawings done in Black pen and are roughly 2"x3" - 8"x 10."

The one thing I know for sure and I certainly live by now is this...

As a human being, artist, wife, friend, teacher, and nature enthusiast...

There WILL always be hurdles in life but we MUST celebrate the best of times with great love and passion. Weddings definitely mark beautiful occasions in life but so do simple walks with a great person. After my dad's death and the death of several loved ones, I do know how special and sacred EACH day is in my life and the life of others. I fill my life with true and honest people and things. People that have the same "DNA" as I. I have quietly let go of some people and things that are negative sinking anchors in my life and have moved away from that type of world. I try to be very responsible with each word I express. Words can never be erased. Forgiveness is everything though.

I hope more people can do the same for themselves and erase so much unnecessary "drama." Life is so quick.

Peace to All...
