Finding Artistic Creationz

Elizabeth first discovered the photography of Artistic Creationz at an art show in St. Petersburg, Florida. Among the artwork on display, one wildlife photograph immediately stood out to her: “Wizened Old Bear.”

The strength and character captured in the photograph caught her attention, but there was also a very personal reason the image felt right.

“The photography was beautiful, but it struck me that it would be an excellent addition to my cabin in Northern Maine,” Elizabeth said.

Black bears are a familiar part of the landscape in Maine, making wildlife imagery feel especially appropriate for her cabin. Although the bear featured in Wizened Old Bear is a grizzly or brown bear rather than a Maine black bear, the image still carried the spirit of the wilderness she associates with Northern Maine.

A Place of Pride in the Cabin

Elizabeth chose a large print of Wizened Old Bear, which will eventually be displayed prominently in the kitchen of her Maine cabin.

She already knows exactly the kind of presence she wants the artwork to have in the space.

“It will have a place of pride in my kitchen for everyone to see.”

Her cabin is still being completed, so the artwork has not yet been installed. But Elizabeth has a clear vision for how it will become part of the character of the home. Many of her relatives also have cabins in Maine decorated with wildlife imagery, and she says those photographs have always created a warm and welcoming feeling.

Once her cabin is finished and Wizened Old Bear is hanging in its permanent home, Elizabeth plans to share photographs of the finished installation with Artistic Creationz.

Rediscovering Artistic Creationz

Elizabeth’s story also has an unusual second chapter. After originally seeing the artwork at the St. Petersburg art show, she later had to find Artistic Creationz again when she was ready to make her purchase.

“When I finally found him again, Neal made it very easy to purchase,” she said.

That experience left an impression beyond the artwork itself.

When asked whether she would recommend Artistic Creationz to someone looking for fine art photography, Elizabeth didn’t hesitate.

“Absolutely. Neal was easy to work with, and his wildlife photography is amazing. I will certainly be happy to refer anyone who comments on my bear back to him.”

Although Wizened Old Bear is Elizabeth’s first Artistic Creationz piece, she says she already plans to purchase again.

For Neal Nachman and Liz Stokes of Artistic Creationz, stories like Elizabeth’s are part of what makes creating fine art photography so rewarding. A photograph first encountered at an art show in Florida will soon travel north and become part of a family cabin in Maine—a piece of wildlife art finding a home where the connection to nature runs especially deep.
