The Business of Art
Our friend Rose Ellis has a keen eye for design and really understands “the Business of Art”. Working with Rose to get her ideas from concept to reality is alway a challenge, and always fun! She approached us last winter asking if we could enlarge a photo of a brick wall with some lettering to cover a wall in a condominium hallway. Without hesitation we said yes, and the process started. RCP Artist Services took the professional photos of the original brick wall and created a vinyl piece 19′ long by 7′ tall.

Always Looking for opportunity
Ms. Ellis (www.roseellis.com / artbyellis@gmail.com) is always pushing to get her art in front of people whether it be by “painting in the window” of her studio in downtown Grand Rapids, or working with interior designers, or creating ambitious commission work for business or residential environments. The photos below detail a project in a remodeled private home. An original painting by Ms. Ellis was scanned with our Cruse Synchron, and (9) individual panels were created with self adhesive vinyl. The individual panels ranged is size from 48″ square to over 72″x44″. The pictures of the end result do not do the project justice. Suffice to say, all involved were pleased.
