ABOUT THE DESIGN ITSELF -

mary anne began creating her own lettering style in 1986. through a process of lettering characters thousands of times each, she innovated a style which is now associated with her compositions. she wanted to create original, affordable art. shei sought to create an elegant contemporary art piece which she could easily duplicate by hand. the signature graphic format is modeled after watercolor structure: a watercolor artist will pencil a line around the work art field. from this model comes the rectangle surrounding the signature graphic. she fashion three pastel strokes on a colorful field. these strokes are representative of wings in flight. over time, many people have suggusted the pastel strokes look more like angel wings! these original pieces are placed artfully within a set of her words. a nonverbal symbol (which she creates to visually represent the intent of the text) is painted on each piece. each piece is truly a hand crafted original.
