ANNE LEUCK STUDIO

Art in residence!

Collectors Corner, Commissioned ArtAnne LeuckComment

Fun to recently receive these photos of the Pierce Family's collection. I created this narrative 4 piece commission back in 2005. Each panel of this narrative quadriptych featured cities and significant life events in those locales. If this interests you, see more at this link, they make for incredibly memorable gifts!

This piece is from my dream flyer series back in the late 90's early 2000's...vintage ALF! So delightful to see where my work resides, and what a gorgeous home!

New! Sketchbook Journaling Workshops!

Events, Shows & Ar..., SketchbookAnne LeuckComment

I'm thrilled to announce that you can now sign up via Sidetour to take my new 3 hour workshop "Sketchbook Journaling About Your Pet" it's being offered Sept. 10, 14, 16 or 20 so you can pick from a weekday evening or a weekend afternoon. Since 2001, I've used my sketchbooks to chronicle my daily life and so many of those crazy and sweet memories included my pets. This three-hour workshop will help you do the same. You will learn to create a journal honoring a current pet, or as a memorial for a furry friend from the past. Follow this link for all the sign up details and to enroll. I would love for you to join me, please share with your other pet loving friends! 

Cesar's Way Magazine feature!

Press & Published ...Anne LeuckComment

My custom Pet Portrait Gift items caught the eye of Cesar's Way Magazine editors, they decided to feature my pendant necklace in their August issue! If you order a Pet Portrait, I can put the image on any of my gift items, these can be purchased on etsy. If you have not ordered a full portrait, I also offer Personalized Gift Items (you pick a pet from my portfolio and I add your pet's name and create a resin charm with the art work) for $50 each. These are available as necklaces, zipper pulls or key chains. 

Below are some recent new orders: Great gifts ideas for the dog lovers in your life! (If you plan to order for the holidays, please do so before Thanksgiving).

I had a very quick, but lovely trip to the Northwest over the last week...sad and bad news when I arrived back in Chicago:

I would love some help finding copyright free music I can incorporate into my videos, feel free to share! As well as any editing tips you may have...this music didn't really fit, but was 'legal'.

Day 2 with the sketchbook video:

Monday...day two, experimenting with video capture! Sorry, I'm having trouble centering this, and clearly the video I took of actually writing that lovely quote by Tyler Knott Gregson didn't work out...foiled again!

I had the extraordinary experience of paddling on the lake without another soul in site, in the pouring rain. It was magical and a little crazy. Don’t worry, there was no lightening, Mom!

I rigged up this tripod (rock/candle/brick from my old house) for my phone/camera (which I took the photo with, so you can’t see it!) Unfortunately the 12 minutes of sketching I did were cropped too small. Trial by error…that’s my method!
