Finding Treasure: The Art of Lisa Bryan

I was happily thrifting in Carmel the other day, when I came across a map. Normally, I am completely uninterested in maps, but this one immediately caught my eye.  Delightful images were happily scattered across a very detailed map of Carmel.  I had discovered a treasure map!  All the places I know and love were depicted so magically, I knew I had to have it! After I purchased the map, I went online to learn more about the artist, Lisa Bryan, and discovered she is also an author.  I purchased her book, Sketches of Carmel-by-the-Sea and was smitten.  I wanted to learn more about the creator of these lovely pieces of art.

According to her LinkedIn page, Lisa has been painting all her life.  She works primarily in oil, watercolors, and ink.  She creates not only one of a kind maps of the Carmel area, but also commissioned paintings, including homes, and will even include beloved dogs in her paintings!  Her art has been made into posters, calendars, cards, prints, and books.  She also creates puzzles and even hand-painted hats!  You can see more of her beautiful artwork yourself by visiting Lisa Bryan, or Visit Carmel,  I guarantee you will be charmed, just like me!

Many of Carmel’s quaint buildings are featured in Lisa Bryan’s artwork.

From the Cottage of Sweets to the Tuck Box to beautiful animals, you will treasure everything Lisa Bryan creates.  You can find her items in many shops in Carmel, on her website Lisa Bryan and also online including fine art venues, Amazon, and eBay.  Thank you for visiting my blog!  You may also enjoy Holiday Charm in Carmel by the Sea.
