Fine art and graphic design are two of my great passions. I feel fortunate that I am able to work at them everyday. Occasionally I have the opportunity to combine the two as I did recently for a New Jersey client, the second of two I’ve done for him..

I completed a painting of the front of a client’s retail location in Red Bank, New Jersey. I designed the logo and signage for A. H. Fisher Diamonds and Claimlink Jewelry Replacement and handle web content, print advertising and brand identity.

In the 1980’s, I painted a watercolor of the first store location at 10 Broad Street in Red Bank, New Jersey. The store later relocated to the center of town, also on Broad Street, so last month I presented him with the painting of the second location. While transforming the view into a painting presented some challenges (Painting the logo on the sign was a killer.), I enjoyed working on the piece for many reasons. Artistically, creating a sunlit impression on the richly textured brick, and green and gold signs satisfies my artistic side. Watching A. H. Fisher Diamonds and Claimlink Jewelry Replacement, survive,  prosper and become a two-generation family business in its 30 years is heartwarming.

If you are in Red Bank, New Jersey, stop by A. H. Fisher Diamonds at 46 Broad Street. If you ask to see the painting, Alan or Matthew Fisher will give you a $25.00 gift card.
