PRIVATE COMMISSION
This contemporary Narrative Collage depicts the first 20 years of marriage of a couple living in Eugene, Oregon. To create this highly personalized work of art, artist Dee Etzwiler gathered verbal stories from her clients and scanned some of their personal documents to incorporate into this piece. She also added photographs, maps, and other imagery into this expressive work of art. While creating this Narrative Collage, Dee remained cognizant of her client’s artistic tastes and their home’s architectural features while designing her work. This piece was printed on commercial-grade canvas, mounted on MDF board, and professionally framed. It measures 41” x 76.”
“We asked Dee to create an artistic representation of our relationship and our family. She did an amazing job! Using our photos plus other significant images, words, maps, and colors, she designed a multi-layered graphic collage that not only captured the essence of our lives together but resulted in a stunning piece of art that complements our home’s décor. Dee was insightful, creative, and inclusive in the design process and very much a perfectionist. Her architectural background was of great benefit in composing a balanced piece. Overall, she was delightful to work with and much adored by our two young daughters and our golden retriever!” — JENNIFER S.
