COMMISSIONS
Turn old skis and boards into works of art
Don't know what to do with your old skis and boards?
You know....the ones you loved but which are now stuck in the loft. Why not turn them into a piece of art? A memory of your favourite resort or a picture of your most memorable powder run.
Capture your memories in canvas and paint
Do you have a favourite spot in the mountains which you would like captured on canvas? Fancy a more grown up “selfie” of you skiing first tracks or summiting your mountain? Then why not commission your very own piece of Chalet Art?
....And we're not JUST about mountains!
Have a non-mountain themed piece of art in mind? Rest assured....we're not all about the mountain!
(This is "Varietal" - commission for Le Quai aux Raisins - you really must try their wine! https://lequaiaraisins.fr/)
