Paris paintings or a letter subscription is a unique gift for anyone who likes getting Paris-infused fun.
I'm Janice MacLeod, best known as a Paris artist and the creator of Paris Letters, illustrated letters sent in the mail... an illustration, a few stamps, and off it goes to your mailbox.
BIG NEWS! The book based on the Paris Letters is a New York Times best seller. My letters have also been featured in Business Insider, Forbes, National Geographic, The Huffington Post, Canadian Living, Oxford University Press, and the CBC.
My blog (janicemacleod.com) has been awarded one of the top Paris blogs. I also write about how to make a living with your art, and offer writing courses if you've got a book inside that you'd like to turn into a book on the outside.
Speaking of books... There are now three Paris books by Janice MacLeod.
1) DEAR PARIS, Amazon #1 in multiple categories
2) A PARIS YEAR, one of USA Today’s most beautiful books
3) PARIS LETTERS, a New York Times best seller

About JaniceMacLeodStudio
The story behind Paris Letters
For over a decade, I painted letters to about life in Paris and sent them out to those who crave fun mail. Now they are all available here in the shop (except the stinkers) to head out to mailbox near you.
I copy the letter, personalize each copy (Dear Jane, Dear Spence, Dear YOU), and send it out snail-mail style to those who like to see a sweet surprise in their mailbox. The originals have been kept close for times when they end up in books published along the way. Speaking of…
BOOKS
1. DEAR PARIS is a collection of many of these letters. Featured in Forbes.
2. A PARIS YEAR is a travel journal of my days and nights in Paris. USA Today calls it one of the Top 10 Most Beautiful Books.
3. PARIS LETTERS, is about how I came to create the letters you'll find here in the shop. I'm pleased and delighted that it made it onto the New York Times best seller list. Once falling for a charming butcher and deciding to hang my beret in Paris, I had to come up with a way to afford my new life. These letters are the result and have been shared around the globe with lovers of letters and of Paris.
