Cool Find of the Week: Memory Canvases
Strolling through an annual artists festival this summer, I literally teared up when I met Seton McGlennon and viewed her Memory Canvases up close and personal.
I try very hard every year to make or give gifts from the heart, if I can get the recipient to cry that’s even better…
Seton’s artwork will do just that!
Seton McGlennon is a self-taught artist and for over 15 years, her trademark Memory Trunk and Canvases have been capturing the “The Story of Your Life.”
All of her artwork is personalized. The concept is oh so cool ~ you fill out a questionnaire, she “interviews” you, you choose from her vast array of products: canvas boards, trunks, ornaments, coffee tables, note cards, etc. Sit back, relax and very soon you will be the envy of all who see your homes, travels, weddings, births, funny stories, inside jokes being played out, special times and traditions woven into an illustration of life in progress - your life!
Her art has graced the stage of Oprah’s Favorite Things, as the gift of the millennium, and has been commissioned twice to create the national Christmas gifts given by the President and First Lady, Laura Bush.
The web photos do not capture the essence of the art, if you would like a photograph and a brochure to be mailed to you, please e-mail Seton at setonspecialties@aol.com
You can also browse an abundance
of examples on her website:
