Let Me Tell Your Story

I love telling stories. It’s really been the connective tissue between all my passions: writing, photography, painting and podcasting. Stories are powerful and unique to every individual, and I’d love the chance to tell yours.

Throughout my career as an artist I’ve had the honor of doing Heirloom Paintings for many clients.

What’s an Heirloom Painting? It’s a painting where you and I work together to create the theme of the paintings and come up with a list of special symbols or words to include in the painting. These are unique to you and your family. These are pieces that can be passed down to children and grandchildren.

This was a piece for designer Brian Patrick Flynn and his husband to celebrate their wedding in Iceland.

This was for a family with four little girls. Details below.

If you’d like to work together to create one of these pieces, please email me at blaynebmacauley@gmail.com and we can schedule an in person or zoom meeting to get started!

Blayne Art X Framebridge

I am thrilled to announce that these prints are now available on my website and will be framed through Framebridge. Once click shopping and you could have a fully framed piece ready to hang on your wall delivered straight to your door!

Art prints make wonderful gifts. Whether it's for a housewarming, birthday, or other special occasion, an art print can be a meaningful and lasting gift that your loved ones will cherish for years to come; especially the dinos and owls as baby gifts!


Cheers, Blayne

She Can Fly: a series

We spent last week in Lake Tahoe, which is a trip I just insisted we take… but I didn’t know why. It was one of those intuitive things. I found an incredibly affordable house on air b&b. It was a 70s ranch perfectly preserved and felt like stepping back in time; complete with a brass fireplace, vintage cookware and a record player (which of course Jimmy loved).

Jimmy had to work during the day, so the kids and I were off to explore. We drove the perimeter of the lake and spent our time hiking and exploring old historic mansions.

I had my camera the entire time, which was new for me since I’d gotten lazy and relied on the iPhone for a long time.

Having the camera forced me to really SEE so many things around me. I took thousands of photos.

The last day during the last few hours of the trip I took these. The images came all at once, and it felt like the universe handed me a perfectly completed series… just put it right in my hand.

One of my favorite quotes about Art is, “When the muse comes, let the muse find you working.”

I’ve been focusing on my art so much recently - in a new way with a different perspective. I’ve been working.

These images might be my favorite body of work I’ve ever produced. So much so that I’ve started submitting to galleries again… which I didn’t really ever expect to say again. I’ve been satisfied with where I am in my art career for years, so taking a step forward and reaching for more is unexpected and honestly exciting.

I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I do, and of course for any inquiries please just email be at blaynebmacauley@gmail.com. I’d love to see them printed HUGE and mounted on acrylic.

A Return

Happy Memorial Day.

I spent a lot of time taking pictures this weekend, and amazingly I feel more like myself… more like who I was as a child… than I have in a long long time. Watching the children and photographing them is giving me a way to see them in a whole new way. There is so much magic inside of them, and I can feel it coming through in these images.

I’m also in love with the firework images. There’s an idea there for sure.
