It's a Wonderful Life! 
It's A Wonderful Life, the latest commissioned piece for The Grant Family in Memphis, Tennessee, by artist Karen Couillard.
Lee Grant, a writer, commissioned Karen Couillard after seeing her work at the Hilliard Gallery In Kansas City. Impressed with Karen's art style, he quickly identified with the way she represents lifestyles and brands.
He wanted to surprise his wife for their anniversary with a piece that represents each of his family member's lifestyle and their favorite brand.
His wife Jayme an avid Starbucks lover, his son Jack a skateboarder and a Dr. Pepper drinker, his daughter Taylor loves her dog "Speedy" and dreams of having a Volkswagen bug. Lee loves to watch old movies at his favorite theaters the old Orpheum  Theatre in Memphis. The couples favorite old movie "It's a Wonderful Life" inspires the title of this masterpiece and appears on the Orpheum marquee in the painting.
"Loved the painting! It is indeed beautiful. Taylor was amazed by it as well and was very appreciative of the cards and magnets. Thank you again. This is something we will treasure forever".
