Product Details
Print Process and Materials
All artworks are printed using archival-grade pigments. A natural, heavyweight textured cotton, free of optical brighteners is used for paper prints. Canvas prints are printed on exhibition grade matte canvas and coated with a water-based varnish, which protects against UV ray damage and cracking. The materials and process ensure long-term, archival stability for both paper and canvas prints.
Sizing
Unframed (rolled) print dimensions are exact to what is shown on the store. For example, a 16x20" paper print measures 16" by 20" including the 3/4" white boarder. An unframed 30x40" canvas print includes a 2" border, for a total dimension of 32x42" (the image area is 40x40").
Framed canvas prints will add 1 1/4" to each dimension. For example, a 30x40" framed canvas will measure 31 1/4 x 41 1/4". Framed paper prints add 1"to each dimension. For example, a 16x20" framed paper print will measure 17 x 21" with the frame.
Framing Options
Prints are available framed or, if you'd prefer to manage framing yourself, you can purchase an unframed (rolled) print.
Unframed paper prints have a 3/4" white border, within which is Victoria's signature.
Rolled canvas prints include a 2-inch natural canvas border which allows for stretching on bars up to 1 1/2" deep (we like 3/4" bars).
Framed paper prints are protected with a UV-blocking acrylic and are available in all sizes except for 55X55". Framed canvas is stretched over 3/4" bars and installed in custom made floater frames. Available in sizes 30x40" and larger. All frames are made to order.
When will the original painting be available?
The original painting will go on sale during an online auction held at the end of this year. Dates TBA. Mailing list subscribers will be the first to know of any updates and details.
The 4th pieces of the Sanctuary Collection
Dreaming & Blooming
The story...
May 2024
As I create art while creating a human life I wanted this fourth piece of the Sanctuary Collection to capture the joy I feel when I choose to create.
This studio is my creative sanctuary...
I've been in this studio space for almost a year now and it has become a second home to me and my family. It's a safe space to explore my wild ideas, make coffees for visiting friends, nap, have a good cry, or burst into spontaneous dance parties. The corner windows in the studio remind me daily that the sky is the limit with creativity if I just open my eyes to look beyond the frame.
Joy is found here
Whether you're in a season of dreaming, blooming, or both, I want these paintings to be a reminder that a deep well of joy can be found when we step outside of our comfort zone.
The creative process...
The journey of these paintings was stretching, both literally and figuratively. I had the creative challenge of adding a man-made structure to the pieces that represented the studio windows, all the while growing our second child in my third trimester. Even through the discomfort of pre-labor contractions, I found a deep well of joy while creating these artworks.
