    Behind the Canvas

    It is generally known that many creatives have an inclination toward moodiness. I am no exception, and was having one of those days. An artist friend and fellow member of the Painted Ladies suggested we go paint at our favorite Alaska spot not too far from our homes. For a brief two to three weeks, the Eklutna Flats put on a wildflower show that no human being should miss. Miles and miles of wild irises, shootings stars, chocolate lilies, Jacob's ladder, dandelions and many other varieties fill the air with the fragrance. As I sat in the grass painting this scene, breathing the fresh Alaska air, I briefly remembered my previous sour mood, and how I had wished for deliverance from my hardships. And I smiled. For that perfect moment, there was no where else I would have rather been. For that moment, my longing for Heaven would just have to wait.

    Production & Printing

    While my family and I handle the design and creation of each artwork, the printing and shipping processes are sometimes managed by professional partners who share my commitment to quality and ethics. I carefully vet all printing partners to ensure they meet my own standards of locality, rigorous environmental and labor standards.

    • 𝗘𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: My chosen printers use eco-friendly materials and practices, including sustainable inks and responsibly sourced wood and canvases. This commitment helps minimize the environmental impact of each print.
    • 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀: I collaborate with printing facilities that adhere to fair labor practices, ensuring that every person involved in the process is treated with respect and paid fairly.

    By outsourcing to trusted professionals, we can focus on creating unique, high-quality art while ensuring that every step of the production process aligns with ethical standards.
