Space to Breathe
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.
2nd piece of the Sanctuary Collection
Space to Breathe
The story...
March 2024
The second piece in this collection - Space to Breathe - portrays the feeling of how much space there is for us to find rest, inspired by my travels in Sedona, Arizona.
This story actually started 6 years ago...
I was burnt out, working a job that smothered my creative passions. A break was needed and Sedona became a sanctuary for me; a place where I could simply breathe, rest, and dream again.
It was in this place...
It was in this place that I began to rekindle my creative passions, which lead me to where I am today; painting in the same place, but as a much more creatively alive, rested, and joy-filled person.
This painting travelled by plane, climbed up mountains, hid in a cave, and most definitely got poked by a cactus or two ;) It was my most epic painting adventure to date and I love that these memories are all part of this painting’s story.
