British Columbia, Canada
2022

There’s a temptation to not actually share much about this image and to let the imagination do its thing. In fact, consider the rest of this description a spoiler alert. Ready? Ok. This is very intentionally made to be black and white and hung vertically, but it is actually the shoreline at low tide in a small bay in British Columbia containing a range of deep to vibrant greens of the moss. To me, the striking center that almost appears as an arrow pointing upwards gives a strong sense of purpose, focus, and intent - someone who knows exactly what they want.

ABOUT THE EDITIONS

Each piece is available in limited runs and produced to museum-grade standards. As editions sell, prices may increase. The current listed price reflects early availability.

  • Studio Stamped Editions
    These unsigned prints bear a discreet embossed stamp of authenticity from the artist’s studio. A perfect starting point for new collectors or those looking to gift fine art with provenance.

  • Signed Limited Editions
    Individually numbered, hand-signed by the artist, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Created in extremely limited quantities, these editions are intended for seasoned collectors and investors alike.

PRINTING

Printed and framed locally in Canada, each piece is produced on artist-grade, acid-free, 100% cotton, 310gsm photo paper using archival pigment inks for lasting colour fidelity and depth.

FRAMING OPTIONS

To preserve the quality of your artwork and minimise risk in transit, we recommend ordering unframed if you are located outside Toronto. Your local framer will be able to mount your piece to your preferences.

For collectors in the Greater Toronto Area, we offer custom framing as an add-on. Each framed piece arrives ready to hang in a 1.25" handcrafted frame with a 2" matte border and museum-quality Artglass (70% UV protection, anti-reflective).
