For years, some of my favorite pieces of artwork have lived purely in the memories of the people who bought them and a digital folder on my hard drive. When an original piece sells, it often feels like sending a piece of myself out into the world. While I’m incredibly grateful for the collectors who have supported me over the years, it always felt a little bittersweet that those images were essentially locked away from everyone else.
Well, I’m finally doing something about it.
I have officially started deep-diving into my personal archives—which contain over 4,000 works of art spanning my entire career. I am organizing, preparing, and finally releasing prints of artwork that hasn’t seen the light of day since they sold over a decade ago.
Moving forward, my plan is to slowly unlock the vault and release a couple of new archival prints every single month.
The First Wave: Meet the First Three Releases
To kick things off, I’ve selected three deeply nostalgic pieces that hold a special place in my heart.
1. Octopus: Into the Deep
This piece is all about embracing the mystery of the unknown. With deep, dripping textures and bold teal tones, it captures the raw energy of the ocean’s most fascinating creature.
2. The Joy of Koi
Bright, fiery, and full of life, this piece brings a sense of movement and warmth wherever it hangs. The crackle and texture make the vibrant orange and gold tones pop beautifully.
3. Three Little Birds
A textured, abstract landscape featuring three little birds perched on a wire against a backdrop of rich golds, teals, and earth tones. It’s a peaceful, grounding piece that brings a little bit of nature’s simple magic indoors.
Choose Your Style: Paper vs. Wood Mount
Because I want these pieces to fit perfectly into your home, I am making them available in two distinct formats. Depending on your personal style and how you like to display your art, you can choose between:
Option A: Giclee Velvet Watercolor Paper Print (Unframed)
This is the classic, elegant choice if you love traditional art presentation.
- The Look & Feel: Printed on premium, thick watercolor paper with a distinct texture, this option gives you rich, deep colors and a stunning matte finish that looks just like an original painting.
- The Flexibility: Because it arrives unframed, you have 100% control over the final presentation. You can choose a frame and matting that perfectly match your specific home decor.
Option B: Hand-Crafted Textured Artist Enhanced Print Mounted on Wood
This is the ultimate premium option if you want something unique that has my personal touch on it.
- The Look & Feel: I go back over each of these prints by hand, adding physical texture and unique enhancements directly onto the surface. It is then mounted onto wood, giving it a beautiful, substantial, and rustic presence on the wall.
- The Convenience: It arrives ready to hang right out of the box. There is no need to spend extra money or time looking for the right frame.
