What is Giclee Printing?

Giclee is a printing process that uses archival papers or other supports and inks. Because of this, these prints do not fade, discolor or deteriorate over time. I use a printing company that focuses on fine art prints done to high standards. I know you'll be pleased with your purchase. However, if for some reason it does not meet your needs, you may make a return within 14 days.

When you make an order, I am notified and your order will be printed and shipped. I ask that you allow approximately 10 days for receipt, although for most domestic addresses, your prints will arrive sooner! Prints can be sent to international addresses as well, although shipping costs are higher. Please email me for an estimate on shipping outside the US.

I'm excited to be able to offer this option! It is a great way to hang beautiful art in your home or to give fine art as a gift. The affordability of fine art prints adds another way to bring beauty into our lives!

Happy Mother's Day!

Nest Series, oil on canvas

In honor of Mother's Day, I'm reposting this series - which is in a private collection.
I painted this showing the progression of my experience as a mother - a full nest, which was just wonderful! I have three great kids ... I couldn't have been blessed with more wonderful kids, either.
I loved each day being a mom with a full nest!
And then... they began to fly from the nest.
They left behind a reminders of themselves - and now all three are flying (mostly) on their own.
Its a difficult transition in some ways... and yet, its what we raise them to be - productive, independent adults who are contributing to their world in unique and valuable ways.
Of course, they do come back to visit - they do keep in touch - we continue to have a wonderful relationship over a huge stretch of miles .... and yet, sometimes the nest feels quite empty.

So, when the nest feels empty - I try to remember that they are following their callings. They are doing well. They are using their unique gifts. They are having a positive influence in the world.

And that was the goal.

The Nests - a set of old favorites

Nest Series:
top - Nest Eggs 9 x 12" Oil on canvas
bottom left - Empty Nest 1, 6x6" Oil on canvas
bottom right - Empty Nest 2, 6x6" Oil on canvas

This set of 3 is representative to me of my own 3 children - who populated my nest, now growing up and leaving the nest behind. Its an interesting passage as a parent. Not altogether easy... and yet, it is the way it should be. My nest has been very brightly occupied for many years - now that my kids are flying ~ for several a great distance from home ~ I am learning to appreciate the remembrances of their time under my roof!

I love them deeply - and am proud of their accomplishments and the way in which they are now contributing to the world in which we live! So, as a parent of an "empty-ish" nest, I am blessed by those old memories and also blessed by their new endeavors and will be blessed by the memories that are yet to be made!
