New York, NY (1888PressRelease)
October 30, 2008 - Kathleen Benton is an artist with many years of experience creating fine art and commercial signs. Her collection of work is now being showcased at a new web site called You Can Hire an Artist. The website offers her original drawings and paintings for sale. The site also creates a resource and forum for customers' requests for art commissions both private and commercial. There is also a page devoted to the design of custom-made greeting cards. The web site address is http://www.youcanhireanartist.com .
You Can Hire an Artist includes examples of Ms. Benton’s fine art paintings in oil, wax, dye, acrylic, and watercolor. Also on display are works on paper in several different art media including pastel, charcoal, pencil, India ink, wax and dye. The styles and subject matter varies for each artwork, from large abstract pieces to realistic renderings of nature. The works available for purchase are unframed.
The site also displays custom artwork examples of paintings and collages that were made to specification for both private and commercial clients. The artist hopes web site viewers will be inspired by these works to propose their own commissioned pieces for private homes or business offices.
Kathleen Benton has also made custom-made commercial signs for business which are displayed on another page of the web site. Here one can find examples of colorfully painted cut-out signs and blackboards which are displayed to inspire future projects. Ms. Benton notes that, as the work demonstrates, she can be very flexible with regard to style. Her first priority for every commercial sign she makes is that it reflect the style and intent of the individual company’s particular business campaign.
Custom-designed greeting cards are another type of art available at You Can Hire an Artist. Customers can order images seen on the site or request consideration for their own custom-made subjects. Ms. Benton suggests that meaningful one-of-a-kind cards can be made to mark holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, weddings, work milestones or retirment. A personalized card will make the event an occasion that will always be remembered. Custom cards can also be created in multiples and used as stationery, announcement, change-of-address, or thank you cards.
Customers interested in purchasing existing work or proposing a commission may contact the artist directly through the web site. Kathleen Benton's studio is located in Yonkers, New York. The artist encourages customers from anywhere in the world to contact her with an art proposal. She is willing to ship artwork to any destination.
