 Let us, at United Wanderlust, help you bring about something really SPECIAL INTO THE WORLD with a dash of uplifting, abstracted, stylized or magically realistic art.  

___________________________________________________________

For example, here's how the process might work for creating art around your travel memories:

• You provide a selection of your top 5-10 clear, high-quality photograph you've taken from your travels and escapades. In these photos, there's something, an experience, an idea, a mood or an object you wish to capture and remember. Watch the quick demo below:

• Note: Any portraits or figurative work are painted in a highly abstracted or stylized style similar to, but not exactly like, the samples below.

3. CUSTOM PAINTINGS

Below: Set of two timeless, abstract Edible Botanicals mixed-media, watercolor paintings (Blue Mushrooms & Blue Cactus)
