Hey there! Because today is my wedding anniversary (15 years) and I just had a blogging anniversary (4 years), it’s time to celebrate with another giveaway. I was thinking about what I mostly talk about on the blog and what I am so passionate about and one of the things that came to mind was art.
I know how art in my home makes me happy when I see it. I also know that I see many clients with nothing on their walls and they have been in their home for years. Art doesn’t have to be expensive (it can be a photograph of a special vacation you took or a print purchased on Etsy) but it has to be something you love and/or something that is personal.
I fell in love with YangYang Pan’s colourful works while sourcing art for a client years ago. It wasn’t until late last year that one of my clients purchased an original piece. I hope to own an original one day but in the meantime, I do own one of her prints and would love for you to have one too! (The images above are of her recent original paintings. Aren’t they gorgeous?)
You can choose any print from her Etsy site (like the one below) up to a value of $75.
* All you have to do is leave a comment here and tell me which print you would like to have. Remember to include your email if you don’t have a blog, ie) no way to reach you.
*For an additional entry, “Like” Yangyang on Facebook and leave a comment here telling me you did.
This giveaway is open to everyone in North America and will close on June 13, 2013 at 11:59 pm EST. Good luck!
If you require design services, please contact me at vanessa(at)vanessafrancis.com.

May 30, 2013I really love YangYan Pan too. I joined her FB page and met her at the One of a Kind Show. I have been looking for a piece of art for my bedroom and would be so happy/honored to have one of her paintings. I am drawn to both the colors she uses and her abstract style. Please pick me to win 🙂

June 13, 2013I LOVE her work and have been lusting after about 6 different prints in her Etsy shop for ages. Seriously, I’ve Pinned them, dropped subtle hints, dropped un-subtle hints… what’s a girl gotta do??! They are all so gorgeous but my absolute fave is Warm in Winter (followed closely by Abstract Landscape 3) eajackson @ gmail.com
