Message from the Artist: Can we know the layout of the intricacies of our spirits? All the pieces? We have our soft, we have our rough, we have our fierce and we have our indifference. We have weaknesses, addictions, break downs.

There is only so much we can do to hide or change the parts of us that are embedded deep, planted at childhood, and unknowingly nurtured. Perhaps acceptance is the best plan of attack?

Maybe embracing the intensity that sometimes gets away from us and focusing on being real, authentic, primal, and flawed souls… a real dimensional human who has faults and sensitivities, wounds, and soft spots. Rock hard moments of not budging, loose tendencies to go with the flow. Deny or hide them and suffer later.

Let us accept the sensitive beast within us and love it, and nurture the inner beauty, too. We will find people to surround ourselves with who love us despite our broken parts, our deep wounds. We will also find those who can’t handle it, who are threatened by our true selves.

We will, at times, be abandoned, disliked, tossed away. We will feel broken, but we must repair ourselves. We will survive. Keep acceptance on your mind, keep your heart on your sleeve. Stay true, speak truth, create no purposeful wounds, and offer love despite flaws. May this be artwork to soothe your soul and brighten your days, reminding you that you are not alone, and you are beautiful in your flaws.

Types of Art Prints:

Your Art Print will be created onto premium-quality heavyweight paper with an 8-ink process for vibrant, fade-proof color that illuminates YOUR space. Your smooth matte Archival Print will be hand-signed and carefully packaged for safe travels into your hands. I use archival materials so your ready-to-frame artwork will have 100+ beautiful years to inspire tender memories and touch hearts. Even when mom says she doesn't want anything, she may yearn for recognition of her motherhood journey.

Prints 12x12 or smaller are bagged to ship in a sturdy mailer, the title of the Art Print is written on the backing board. Most Art Prints have a small 1/8-inch border and fit standard frames. THICK MARGIN and EMBELLISHED Prints have 3/4-inch borders.

••Hand-Embellished and Signed Art Prints••

A 12x12 Thick Margin Print is hand-accented with paint for brush-stroke texture. I take your print to my clean work table and add an artist’s touch to make your embellished Art Print one-of-a-kind and collectible. I autograph the front and sign and date the back of your Embellished print. Your print is then packaged in an acid free bag with a backing board, and gift wrapped before shipping in a sturdy mailer.

An Embellished Print allows for eye color changes, or color accents added to hair. I can darken or lighten hair, or add some facial hair, all with paint. I can even add names or dates, written with fine marker. Provide notes at check-out if you'd like your Embellished Print personalized with eye or hair color adjustments.

Allow 1 day before shipping, for creation and drying time.
