2017-2018 | artwork spotlight | written on the heart and almost, maine

Next up in our series highlighting the stunning artwork created for our season by Emily Cooper: WRITTEN ON THE HEART and ALMOST, MAINE. Two stories that couldn't be more different!


WRITTEN ON THE HEART tells the story of the formation of the King James Bible. We wanted an image that was straightforward and still depicted the multi-layered story, including some bloody drama. It needed to be clear that it was historical, literary, and Biblical. Emily brought us a few options to begin with, including one of just the Bible with a spattering of blood on it. In the end, we opted for this image: a bit more complex, depicting some of the relationships in the story.


A thoroughly charming collection of love stories, ALMOST, MAINE's image needed to communicate love and a touch of whimsy on a cold winter night. Emily created a few versions of this image, and we were smitten! The winter setting, fun, romance, and little touch of silliness is perfect for this story.
