The Art Itself
My illustrations feature meticulous attention to detail. My
emphasis, however, is strong composition, rich texture, and dramatic
tonal contrast. My pen and ink work allows me, not only the minute
detail, but strength and conviction in my work. Watercolor,
sometimes with colored pencil, is an option available that brings
the sparkle and warmth of color into the piece. Ideally, my work
captures attention from across the room, and then draws the viewer
in to examine its detail.
But there is more to art than skill. I can bring your favorite
subject to life on paper. This is a result of listening to you and
feeling the subject as you describe it to me. I study your photos
and we talk about your beloved pet, home, or whatever is close to
your heart. Whenever I work, my goal is to absolutely delight you
with the finished product, to exceed your highest expectations, and
to capture the spirit within the subject.
No photograph or digitally manipulated image can ever take the place
of an original illustration by an artist. I use only archival
quality materials so your artwork will never fade or discolor. My
customers deserve and can expect the best.
Sincerely,
JoAnn Kenny
