Featured Artist - PaintAndInk

In my many searches through Etsys amazing products I have stumbled across PaintAndInk many times. I thought it due time to feature her wonderful artwork!
PaintAndInk's banner reads
"The Interimaginational Institute for Fantastical Exploration and Cartography"
That is a mouthful!
I have always loved maps and creating new worlds and places so every time I visit her shop I read through all of the maps she has.
She offers Prints as well as original artwork for purchase.


This is one of my favorites from her line. It is the Land of Many Tales.
It is a map of all of the fairy tales.
Her listing says:
"Stop in for a cup of tea with the seven dwarves, peek through the window at Sleeping Beauty, snack on cookies at the home of Red Riding Hood's grandma, visit the Marquis de Carabas and his faithful aide, Puss-in-Boots, and climb up Jack's Beanstalk (this one being a newly grown beanstalk, naturally, since Jack chopped the first one down. While you're reading the small print, please use appropriate safety gear when climbing any beanstalks). A complete list of locations follows at the end of this listing."

Charming! Perfect for anyone with imagination! That map can be found here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24587319





Here is a beautiful original watercolor titled "Brigantine Sailing Ship" it is a 5x7 piece and matted on black. You can own it here:

This is a close up shot of her Map titled "Lands of Magic"
Here is the blurb on it:
"You'll see castles and palaces galore, meet witches, sorcerers and wizards, learn a bit of magic yourself, and come away thoroughly enchanted."

I love her use of vibrant colors and earth tones. Everything in her shop is visually appealing and pulls you right in. PaintAndInk does not hold back in the realm of imagination and fantasy. It leaves me wishing these were places we could visit!

Please visit PaintAndInk and support handmade treasures from real peoples imaginations!
