Message from the Artist: A scary thing happened one summer while at the beach with my boys and our new friends. A scary half moment that redirected my attention – my heart – my purpose – my priorities. A stab through my heart - fear, followed quickly by relief, yet heavy sadness and regret and guilt... The world stood still for my boy and I as we fused: a mother willing to give the very breath in her body to prevent what may have happened. A boy, clinging to his mama, taking wet refuge for a few moments. All in front of a new friend who learned, quickly, too much about me. When home and settled, I started this painting – with a strong urge to get those feelings down in a touchable form.

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.

13x19 Prints are to be custom-framed (as borders are not uniform), and ship rolled. Additional smaller Prints in your order may also be rolled.
