Each high quality print (giclee) is on stretched canvas with your choice of depths of either .75 or 1.5 inches. The price includes an affixed hanger so it can be hung directly on the wall. If you wish to frame the print, I recommend ordering the .75 inch depth.
As each print is a special order, please allow two to three weeks for delivery.

The Initiate
Challenge
can bring radiance
and light
to one’s life -
taking you to depths
unknown
brings knowledge
and flight.
There’s the saying.
“What doesn’t kill you,
makes you stronger.”
What doesn't kill you
takes you deeper
and can give an ability
to be with others,
in their initiatory times.
Contemplation . . .
Consideration . . .
If you could reverse what happened to you, would you?
If so, why?
If not, why?
Challenging times in life that turn out to be pivotal, initiatory even, is the theme of this painting. The designs on her garment are created from where I’ve been poked, prodded and cut from various surgeries and many blood draws over the years.
In the Initiate’s stance, she is vibrant, standing strong amidst and because of her challenges. Her owl ally represents the wisdom gathered flying in the dark. My friend said the owl looks like out of a fairy tale. Well, fairy tales always have dark passages, courage challenged, lessons learned and shared.
