Connie Brown
Connie Brown works together with Julie Ruff under the name of Redstone Studios. These two talented artists are map painters. Using toned washes of acrylic and pencil on canvas, they paint maps - most commonly commemorative maps on commission for private clients. They've mapped trek routes, road trips, life histories, private retreats, places of origin, gardens, honeymoons, cruises and golf courses. They've painted maps for corporations, towns, inns, and publishing companies: two of their bookcovers were published by Bantam and Workman Press.

Maps, until recently, represented a marriage of art and science. It is this marriaget that interests the artists of Redstone Studios, and one that they endeavor to perpetuate. Say the artists, "Our maps are accurate, but they are also (we hope) beautiful."

Some of Redstone Studio's canvases exhibit the elaborate elements found in Renaissance maps, such as borders, cartouches, lettering and illustrations. Others resemble eighteenth century American maps, simpler and paler than their European counterparts; others are creative hybrids. They also paint maps in a more contemporary style; slightly abstracted and painterly, rather than highly ornamented.
