ARTners "A Walk In My Shoes"

This is a program offered by the ARTners Nonprofit 501c3. The program is designed to represent people in all Walks of Life! It is about the things you love in life and what you have endured. It can be as deep as you would like! These paintings are something that you can be proud of and hang in your living room or give to someone as a gift.

A person requests the painting or requests a gift for another person. The person requesting the painting fills out the form about their life and the things they love about it. You may request the same for another person if they don’t want the painting to be of them. We will also ask for authorization to use their story, photo, painting on social media, a possible art show and the ARTners website or it can be kept confidential if that is your preference. ARTners will ask for a photo of their feet or their feet in their favorite pair of shoes. This is the photo that will be painted with creativity added based on the response to the form. ARTners will designate an Artist to paint their photo and expressions of life. The ARTist will paint by what the person lists on the form. We will not make edits upon completion. This is a creative expression. The person will request the size: 12” x 12”, which costs $75 or 24” x 24”, which costs $125.
