A Commission Full of Heart: Celebrating a First Anniversary Through Art
There’s something incredibly powerful about giving art as a gift. It’s personal, lasting, and made with intention — especially when it’s created just for someone you love.
When it comes to meaningful milestones, few are as symbolic as the first wedding anniversary. Traditionally known as the paper anniversary, it’s a beautiful opportunity to reflect on the first chapter of your life together and to mark it with something thoughtful and lasting. A bespoke lino print — handmade on paper — couldn’t be more fitting.
“I didn’t know what I was looking for. I’ve never had ‘real art’ before – only the occasional print I’ve picked up at markets.
I love your colours. The way you see something and transform it into your own perspective is so beautiful.
How to Commission a Piece of Bespoke Art
A commission, in the art world, is where you employ an artist whose work you love to create you a piece of uniques artwork to your own specifications. It’s an exciting process and results in something totally bespoke that you’ll love for years to come.
I would always say to go with your gut. Who’s artwork do you love? If its someone that you keep coming back to and artwork that you always feel good around then that’s the one!
