Carmel Valley Wedding

September 2, 2010 cynthia Leave a Comment

The weather is so dreamy today... it seemed appropriate to post about this wedding invitation. The wedding took place on a beautiful ranch in Carmel Valley... almost one year ago to the day. I love how the illustration became a dreamy backdrop for the invitation wording, creating an inviting scene which draws you in, walks you through the trees and along the path to a magical … [Read more...]

Brides Magazine Feature

I'm excited to announce my first printed feature in the September issue of BRIDES magazine! I had so much fun creating this youthful wedding invitation.

Their wedding celebration was … [Read more...]

I used a black and white image of tulips from an old book and hand-lettered the bride and groom's names in the ribbon banner. There were a small number of guests attending this dinner so I was able to hand-paint the tulips on each menu. The results were beautiful. Each guest … [Read more...]

2 Foot Yard – Album Artwork

August 1, 2010 cynthia Leave a Comment

One of my most enjoyable projects that involved a lot of hand-lettering was for 2 Foot Yard's album, Borrowed Arms. The music is hauntingly beautiful and I feel very privileged to have worked with such talented musicians / artists. I drew inspiration from Natalia Goncharova, a Russian avant-garde artist that I admire very much. Here are 7 of the 13 track names. It … [Read more...]
