Joan Proudman combines photographic imagery
with digital illustration to achieve seamless compositions
that are elegant, whimsical, spiritual (and sometimes
humorous). Her unique and always thought-provoking images
as greeting cards and prints can be ordered through this site.
They are often seen for sale here in Maine and elsewhere as well.
“Some people travel throughout the world, but I travel
inward into a world of my own. As a child, I loved to draw
figures and create fantasy worlds. I guess I never grew up
in that sense.”
Every composition is original and meticulously-crafted from public domain or privately owned photography.
Cards are printed manually, one at a time, and measure 5.5"x4.25 . Each card comes with an envelope and a protective sleeve and is suitable for all occasions. Cards are printed with an ET-8550 Inkjet Printer on high quality, bright white card stock, are blank on the inside, and all cards retail for $6 each.
(Wholesale price is $3 but inquire directly through website to order).

"I use an older Wacom digital pen and tablet, a 22" iMac and Photoshop software . I "cut and paste", blend, filter and enhance each element as well as the whole.
I do not create with Ai but occasionally "fill in" with an artificially-generated element to enhance the composition.
