I don’t have thousands of extra dollars to walk into an art gallery and pick out my favorite pieces. Most of us don’t. But oh, I do love art! I want it surrounding me and staring at me smiling at me and sighing at me.
Recently, I decorated my writing nook with art that really spoke to me, and it’s now my favorite space in the house. I filled my nook by purchasing pieces from very talented artists who sell their work on the Society 6 website. I bought ten pieces and covered the three walls that I see when I’m seated at my writing desk. The cost of the art pieces varied from $12 – $40 (mostly depending on size), plus the cost of framing which I did at a local frame shop. Now obviously these aren’t original art pieces. They’re reproductions which Society 6 prints on archival paper and ships to you in rolled up poster containers. But once they were framed, they looked amazing!
Every piece of art that I displayed in my writing nook was created by a different artist, and every frame looks different too. Yet together, they form a cohesive look that I feel like represents my spiraling, moon-hopping, unicorn-chasing, dark corridor-falling, and cloud-flying mind.
I’m excited to I’ll share with you some of the artists and some of the artwork that I chose for my creative writing space…
