Hey Everyone!
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while now, then you know how much I LOVE art. I’m really proud to say that I have my father to thank for that. As a child, I used to sit and watch in amazement while he created the most beautiful paintings of birds (his favorite). He even had me sit for a painting once that he later sold to someone…not sure why someone would buy a painting of a strange girl, but I digress. As a Carpenter, he created wooden podiums for our church and as a Welder he used to make gorgeous sculptures of metal flowers. All of those things lead to my appreciation for the talent that artists possess. They live their lives outside of the box and I really admire that.
I’m honored to introduce you to Sheree Greek and offer this amazing giveaway today! Sheree Greek has been doing art for many years now, and has been honing her talents ever since. She has lived and thrived in New York and has taken classes at the famous Parsons School of Design as well as the Fashion Institute of Technology. She has studied anatomy drawing, compositional drawing, oil painting, acrylic painting, watercolor painting, photography, fashion illustration, digital art AND advertising design. Whew! How’s that for an impressive resume?! I met Sheree on Instagram after she did a sketch of me based on one of my Instagram photos. Talk about flattered! After checking out her website and getting a peek at some of her work, I knew I HAD to work with her. I was lucky enough to have Sheree do 3 pieces for me and I am positively enamored with all of them. The winner of this giveaway will receive their very own original piece of art created by Sheree, using the photo of your choice (a $150 value). Not only is her art BEYOND fabulous, but she has the most warm and friendly personality. I have really enjoyed getting to know her during this process.

Until next time!
I would use a photo of myself where I have the biggest smile/laugh and it makes me smile every time I think of that moment when the photo was taken. The photo was taken by a photographer as a gift for my husband.
Hi Alina! That sounds so nice! I love photos that bring back wonderful memories!
Indeed! I love how your illustrations turned out. Wonderful and such a unique way to have photos.
Isn’t it?! And Sheree is SO nice! I’ve really enjoyed getting to know her.
I’d choose a photo of my son who is holding a tostitos chip with the cutest facial expression.
Hi Sean! That sounds so cute!!
Wow! She is so talented! How awesome is to to have original art of yourself!
Hi Cami! It’s very cool! I love all 3 of the pieces she did for me!
I would love for her to recreate a photo where I am wearing this beautiful gown in Vegas 🙂 .. In the photo with the floppy hat. Where is the skirt from? I have that same hat and it is difficult for me to style it. I love how it looks with the skirt and tank 🙂
Hi Ashley! I got the skirt from Lulu*s. I just checked on their site and they only have 1 left. Please note: It’s not as long as the way Sheree drew it, although I do love that she exaggerated the length for effect. Your photo sounds beautiful!
Johnnalynn-Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity- and all of your kind words. I can’t tell you all how excited I am to be a part of this give away. Who will be the lucky winner? The suspense is going to kill me…
Sheree, thank YOU! I’m so excited for my readers to get a chance to see how talented your are!
Oh these are so incredibly interesting and she is so incredibly talented. I would love to win and have her sketch my daughters. I would think the sketch is for one person so I would pay her if she would do the second daughter but we could work out those details when I win!!!! Ha ha I would love to win but if I don’t win I can always see if she has the time and pay for both to be sketched. This is a wonderful giveaway. Thank you so much for this opportunity.
Hi Christy! Sheree is so wonderful to work with, I’m sure something could be worked out! Best of luck to you!
Thank you so much for this giveaway!! I love coming back to your blog every week for inspiration 😀
Remember when you tried StitchFix? Do you have a review of Vain Pursuits? They’re kinda like Stitchfix for beauty products, my friends are all talking about them
Hi Michelle! So funny you mentioned them. I got an email a while back from someone at the company asking if I would do a review…maybe I’ll try to contact them again so I can review them for you guys and thanks SO much! I truly hope to inspire people, I love fashion so much!
A picture of me in my vintage Dior dress
Oh wow that sounds beautiful!
My favorite picture is of my best friend and I hugging with a beautiful Tennessee mountainside in the background!
That sounds gorgeous Brittany!
I would pull out a wedding or vacation picture for her to recreate!
That would be so beautiful Mel!
