Joan Proudman combines photographic imagery with digital illustration to achieve seamless compositions that are beautiful, elegant, whimsical and often humorous. She aims to delight and inspire with her unique and thoughtful greeting cards and prints which can be purchased here and shared with others.
Every composition is original and meticulously-crafted from public domain or privately owned photography.
Cards are printed manually, one at a time, and measure 6.25x4.5" (large) or 5.5"x4.25 (small). Each card comes with an envelope and a protective sleeve and is suitable for all occasions. Cards are printed with an Epson Injet Color Printer on high quality, bright white card stock, are blank on the inside, and all cards retail for $6 each.
(Some designs are available as "prints on demand" as well as wood mounts. Click "Prints" or contact the artist for more info).
Artist Statement:
Some people travel throughout the world, but I travel inward into a world of my own.
As a child, I loved to draw figures and create fantasy worlds. I guess I never grew up in that sense.
I received my BFA later in life and enjoyed a long career in dance and theater which influences my style.
Proudman's Art has been printed in and on book and CD covers, in manuals, magazines and online journals. “Rite of Passage” won Special Mention in Mozaik Philanthropy’s National Art Competition (2020). Proudman's images were featured in Shadow and Light Magazine’s Surreal Issue, (2021) and she received "Best in Show" for her portfolio in Stillpoint Arts Quarterly (2016). Her work also appeared in and as the cover art of Maine Arts Journal (2019).
I use an older Wacom digital pen and tablet, a 22" iMac and Photoshop software . I "cut and paste", blend, filter and enhance each element as well as the whole.
I do not create with Ai.
