Studio Surprise Bookmark | Hand-Painted Original Bookmark

Receive a randomly selected, original hand-painted bookmark delivered directly to your mailbox.

Each bookmark is chosen from my ongoing studio collection of small-scale painted studies. Every piece is an original artwork created through experimentation with color, texture, and technique in a functional, collectible format.

No two bookmarks are exactly alike. Each one is individually hand painted and fully finished, making every order a unique surprise selection from my studio.

About the Work

Each bookmark is part of my ongoing exploration of color, texture, and technique in small-scale studies that allow for experimentation while remaining fully finished, collectible works.

My bookmarks began out of frustration with mass-produced, flimsy designs that couldn’t survive real use. As an avid reader who often moves between multiple books at once, I needed bookmarks that could withstand daily life—books in bags, cars, hands, and constant movement.

Each piece is built on paper that is sealed with multiple coats of gesso on both sides before painting begins. Once complete, each bookmark is sealed with several thin layers of acrylic medium, diluted with water to allow smooth application without stickiness or buildup.

This layered process creates a durable, flexible surface designed for real-world use, resulting in functional art that is meant to be lived with, not stored away.
