Sample project made by Borsos Anna Ruzsan (BAR-ART STUDIO) Karen and Doug originally was looking for a Canadian maker, but I assured them it's affordable and possible to safely ship to Canada from the US. They wanted to create an "Anniversary/Wedding board - Subway Art / Typography Word Art". They sent me all the words and numbers they wanted to include. Every single step from the planning to completion we've consulted with each other, background color, fonts, letter types, colors of the letters, layout… On the right you can see a few steps how this Subway Art / Typography Word Art was created. Size: 36"x24" Materials: Stretched canvas Gesso, Acrylic paints Calligraphy and traditional brushes So far it was the biggest project I was able to combine my love of painting and hand lettering. Thank you for trusting me! If you would like to create something similar for your Family and Friend(s), please contact me. * Here's the original request we received: Looking for a Canadian Maker Really like the Mike and Ashley anniversary/wedding board - Subway Art Wooden Sign - Wedding/Anniversary Board - Typography Word Art - Your Choice Of Color - shown on your website. Thinking beige with black and red writing and 36x24 in a landscape layout Here are some details on the project from the maker: Hand made, hand painted, typography "subway art" on a 20"x36" landscape oriented stretched canvas with acrylic paint. The words and numbers and other design elements were provided by Karen. Please check your spelling carefully, I will use the spelling that you gave me. After receiving the deposit I will send you proofs for each color painted on canvas, so you will be able to see the details of the letters and texture. Please note that color may vary slightly from your monitor. Every time a I do a commission work, I send pictures of the progress and we discuss with the buyer what's the next step, and how they like the artwork at that point and I can always make changes if needed. The shipping will be by USPS and it is US $55.-, customs (if any, are not included). This is my show season, so I put down 4 weeks to complete the project, but I hope it will be ready faster. If you have any questions and if you would like to add any important details, please let me know so I can change the proposal to your liking.

I use a variety of mediums and my work is diverse, I don’t set out to produce art about one subject, it’s an inventory and reflection of my life experience, how I see and feel.
Creating and painting is a lonely process, but I love how it frees my imagination and provides time to relive the past and plan the future.
I have a diverse portfolio, and offer to produce work of art on commission.

For Lydia's SignAnna is an extraordinarily gifted artist. I had a vision for a piece of art for my home, however, I lacked the ability to communicate all the details necessary to create such an intricately detailed piece.

The end result is an absolutely exquisite piece of inspirational artwork that will be enjoyed by so many for many, many years to come. My heartfelt thanks to Anna for her artistry and craftsmanship. I couldn't be happier!

Michael Janosko
For Michael's SignProject went very well and Ann kept me informed daily as the project progressed. Only negative is it was a bit pricy compared to mass produced computer painted/printed images of similar but different designs. But it is custom and the only one like it, so considered worth it.
Mary McCabe
For Custom Vintage Brewhouse Or Pub Wooden SignBEYOND HAPPY! It was a pleasure and honor to have the talented Anna Ruzsan create a sign in memory of my German Shepherd. The sign turned out more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. It is high quality and will look beautiful and stately in "Murphy Park." Anna kept me well informed and communicated with me on a continuous basis throughout the entire project. She sent me progress pictures at every juncture. She gave me choices and asked my opinion throughout to ensure I was beyond happy with the final product. She gave me ideas so the sign would be more personal and meaningful for years to come. For example, as part of the sign, Anna drew a picture of the dogwood tree my dog used to love to sit under. (Be still my heart). I highly recommend Anna Ruzsan if you are looking for a talented and creative artist who will go the extra mile to listen and understand your wants and needs AND be timely AND continuously communicate with you throughout the entire process. I am beyond happy.

I would definitely recommend Anna and will use her again if the opportunity comes up in the future. Thank you Anna for making my gift to my husband special!
