First Edition Fine Art Print: "Ophelia"

Ophelia

When I start painting, I often don't know what I am trying to say until a piece is finished. When I started this piece, I was coming off a months long break from painting. Returning to the studio often brings a sense of fear and irrational questions like can I still paint, was I ever good, and is my time as an artist over. The creative process is a bit much sometimes. But then, Ophelia came to life rather quickly and quieted my worries. 

Some say that the character of Ophelia in Shakespeare's Hamlet symbolizes femininity and fragility. I didn't set out to paint her, and I still don't know what her presence means exactly. Maybe I needed to say something about a lack of self expression or emotional outlets leading to madness... That's the beauty of art, though. It can hold a different meaning for everyone. What is she saying to you? 

"Ophelia" is available as an 11"x11" or 8"x8" print.

Fine Art Print Basics

Fine art prints (a.k.a. giclee prints) last for decades when taken care of properly. Archival inks are pigment based which resist fading from sunlight and atmospheric gases much better than dye based inks. Make sure to keep your print protected behind glass, out of direct sunlight, or in a closed album to ensure it has a long lasting and vibrant life.

All aspects of the print making process, from photographing to printing, are handled by the artist.
