These are outstanding giclées or archival pigment prints where each one is hand proofed and signed by me. Giclée printing is a fine art digital printing method using specialist archival pigment inks and acid-free papers; creating museum/gallery prints with excellent depth of colour, longevity and stability.
Studies have shown that Giclee Prints colour vividness can last in excess of 200 years with tests by independent bodies such as Wilhelm Research and printer manufacturers such as Epson. This gives assurance to collectors and art buyers of this type of printing method.
Canvas: We use Urth canvas, the world’s first solvent canvas with archival certification by the Fine Art Trade Guild. Manufactured by the leading canvas supplier of award-winning digital inkjet canvas, Breathing Color® uses breakthrough technology of agent-free Fluorescent Whitening and Chromata white to create a canvas free of optical brighteners while still producing canvas prints with bright whites and true vivid colors that will not fade or yellow over time. With OBA-free Urth canvas, your print can hang in direct sunlight and remain fade-resistant and as beautiful as the day it was printed. The canvas has a built-in coating, which makes it moisture and abrasion-resistant, with UV protection. The canvas is durable enough to withstand cleaning by taking a damp cloth to the surface to remove dust.
Inks: We use UltraChrome GS3 HD inks, which have a wide & rich color gamut range. The inks are sprayed upon canvas, hence the “giclee application,” with extreme detail and vibrancy, thus creating a stunningly sharp image. Tested by Wilhelm Research, these lightfast, archival inks are designed to last 100+ years.
Wood: The wood used to create the stretcher bars for your print is made from poplar trees, which are extremely strong and stable.
Printing Equipment: Printers include the Epson Surecolor S80600 and the 9900 Pro Series, which are state-of-the-art in the industry and print at astounding resolutions of 1440 ppi.
Artwork Description and Symbolism
“I Am the Colorful Sunset that Fills My Soul with Vivid Passion” is an invitation to remember what happens inside you when you stop living on autopilot and let life become luminous again. Rooted in the broader spirit of this portfolio—my lived realization that human life is a spiritual journey whether we consciously acknowledge it or not—this piece reflects a simple premise: stay curious, question with open-minded skepticism, and follow what reconnects you to Divine Love and personal responsibility.
Visually, the work reads like a Sonoran sunset translated into emotion. A radiant spectrum of greens, reds, blues, and purples flows across the canvas in seamless gradients, as if the sky is changing in real time. In front of that glow, black silhouettes of paddle cactus, saguaros, and desert trees create an intricate lattice of shadow and structure—sharp, iconic forms that instantly place you in the American Southwest. The layering creates depth and “planes” you can wander through, giving the feeling of standing in a desert forest at dusk, watching the light move while the land holds steady. In the language of this project, that contrast is the teaching: the desert is both setting and metaphor—resilient, abundant, and transformational—mirroring the inner path where passion returns when perspective changes.
This piece also functions as what the portfolio calls a trailhead signpost—a daily reminder that spirituality is personal, and that your reality is shaped by the meaning you assign and the perspective you practice. The sunset becomes more than color; it becomes a prompt: Where has your fire gone quiet, and what would it look like to let it burn clean again—without losing your grounding? If you’re drawn to art that energizes a room while also strengthening your inner life, bring this work into your home or workspace now and let it reignite your sense of vivid, intentional aliveness.
Accompanying Inspirational Exercise — “The Sunset Passion Reset” (3 minutes, daily or as-needed)
Stand before the artwork and pick one color band that feels most alive to you. Let it represent the quality you want more of this week (joy, courage, creativity, devotion, vitality). Then do a quick three-step reset: (1) Thought: name the story that’s dimming your passion (“I’m too tired,” “It’s too late,” “It won’t matter”). (2) Emotion: name what you actually feel underneath (grief, fear, overwhelm, longing). (3) Action: choose one small, specific step that honors your higher intention within 24 hours—make the call, start the draft, take the walk, create for 20 minutes, or set one clean boundary. This practice aligns with the portfolio’s core teaching that our lives become what we create through our thoughts, emotions, and actions—and that love, not fear, is the inner fuel that sustains passion.
