ABOUT THE ARTIST

Bryana Joy is a writer, poet, and full-time artist who believes in the subtle power of Beauty and Story to speak to us about the human condition and the divine nature. In 2018, she launched the Letters From The Sea Tower, a handmade monthly subscription letter full of watercolor sketches, paintings, and snippets of glory from the Great Books. Her poetry has appeared in over a dozen literary magazines and she is currently compiling material for a second book. In her shop, she offers original watercolor paintings, travel sketches, and illustrated literary fine art prints. Bryana takes delight in Celtic art, snail mail, thunderstorms, loose-leaf tea, green countrysides, and the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. She spent twelve of her growing-up years in the Middle East and currently lives with her husband in the deliciously rainy and historic city of York, England. You can follow her work on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

LETTERS FROM THE SEA TOWER

Each month, Bryana creates a handwritten, illustrated letter reflecting on a work of classic literature and harnessing the power of Story to bring the wisdom and the beauty of the ages right down into mailboxes and homes in a tangible form: fresh artwork on paper you can hold and hang up on the fridge or carry around in your pocket. The letters are designed to be a well of stories and paintings that inspire others to take heart and remember their callings. Because the world is sometimes so dark and courage is what we chiefly need. This work is made possible through the continued support of regular subscribers all over the world.

Checking the mail has become fun again! My children run to the mailbox each day in hopes of it being the day our monthly subscription has arrived, which means we will cuddle up as a family that evening and pore over its beautiful art and powerful words.
