giveaway: foodie art prints
As many of you Facebook followers know, I happen to be a huge fan of a particular artist — my 25-year-old sister, Sarah! In addition to being quite the foodie and talented cook herself, she is also an incredibly talented painter (and drawer, sculptor, fashion-designer…you name it). Yep. While the rest of use were drawing stick figures growing up, she was the kid whose drawings of people actually looked like people. :) So it came as no surprise that she recently graduated with a degree in art education. I love that a new generation of kids will get to have such an inspiring teacher!
Anyway, for a fun project this past year, Sarah has begun painting a series based on food blog photos (many from this site!). When the response to them ended up being so positive, she recently launched a new site to sell some of the originals and prints, starting at just $12.95. (And for any of you out there who have photos you love or like original prints, she also does great commissions!) I can’t wait for you to see her work!
So for this week’s giveaway, the winner gets to choose their favorite art print. Exciting! Read on for details, and please show Sarah’s new site and Facebook page some foodie love… :)
