A few months ago, I took a big step in my artistic journey: I launched canvas giclée prints of my paintings for sale on my website. As an artist, this was a decision I didn’t take lightly. You see, some artists choose not to sell prints for various reasons, often feeling that prints somehow diminish the value of their originals. But for me, it’s always been about accessibility and connection. I want my art to be enjoyed by as many people as possible, and offering prints allows me to do just that. Let me share with you the reasons behind my decision.
How Prints Extend the Life of My Art
Art is meant to be seen, felt, and experienced. When I create a painting, it’s with the hope that it will touch someone’s soul. But an original can only hang on one wall at a time. By offering prints, I’m able to extend the life of my work, allowing more people to enjoy the beauty and calm that I strive to capture in each piece. Every print is a new opportunity for my art to find a place in someone’s home and in their heart.
Making Fine Art Affordable: The Power of Prints
Let’s face it, original art can be expensive. While it’s worth every penny, I understand that not everyone has the budget to invest in an original piece. By selling prints, I’m able to offer a more affordable option for those who love my work but aren’t in a position to purchase an original. It’s important to me that everyone who wants a piece of my art can have one, regardless of their budget. Prints make this possible.
Supporting Artists by Purchasing Prints: Why It Matters
Creating art is not just my passion; it’s also part of how I make a living. The reality is that painting supplies are expensive, and so is the time and effort that goes into each piece. By selling prints, I’m able to generate additional income, which directly supports my ability to continue creating. When you purchase a print, you’re not just getting a beautiful piece of art—you’re also helping to support me as an artist. This extra income means I can buy more supplies, experiment with new techniques, and ultimately create more art for you to enjoy.
Adding Value to Original Paintings Through Prints
There’s something truly special about owning an original painting, and that will never change. My originals are rich in texture, often featuring thick brushstrokes and touches of gold leaf that simply can’t be replicated. But by offering prints, I believe I’m adding value to my originals as well. The more people who see and fall in love with a piece through a print, the more the original becomes cherished and recognized for its uniqueness.
Why High-Quality Prints Are the Next Best Thing to Originals
I’ve partnered with a fantastic printing company to ensure that my canvas giclée prints capture the essence of my originals. The colors, the details—they’re all there. Plus, my prints are customizable in size and come with custom framing options, so they fit perfectly into your space. And to make it even easier, I offer free shipping directly to your door for prints.
So, if you’ve ever wanted a piece of my art, now’s the perfect time. Whether it’s an original or a print, I’m honored to have my work in your home. Thank you for your support—it means the world to me!
