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 Sunrise of Each Bright New Day I Experience” is a visual invocation of renewal—an invitation to begin again with intention, no matter what yesterday held. In the larger spirit of The Desert Abstraction Project, the Sonoran Desert becomes more than scenery: it becomes a mirror for the inner path—where awakening is less about adopting a perfect belief system and more about practicing honest presence, open-minded inquiry, and the daily choice to return to love over fear.

The artwork radiates with a bold, surreal sunrise: an intense yellow sky that feels almost electric, spilling warmth and momentum across the entire scene. Against that luminous field, spindly, cactus-like silhouettes rise like desert sentinels—both fragile and enduring—while sharp, blade-like close-ups of cactus needles cut through the composition with urgency. Color layers transition from deep purples and blues near the ground into fiery hues toward the horizon, creating depth and an atmosphere that feels half-dream, half-reality. The interplay of organic forms and spiky abstraction delivers a truth the desert teaches well: a new day is not always gentle, but it is always an opening—alive with possibility, edged with honesty, and shaped by how you choose to meet it.

This is where the title becomes a practice. The “sunrise” here isn’t just light—it’s agency. It’s the moment you stop identifying with yesterday’s story and start aligning with today’s direction. The tension in the piece—between warmth and unease, softness and sharpness—mirrors real transformation: hope without denial, courage without perfection, and forward motion without forgetting what you’ve learned. If you’re drawn to art that energizes a space while also strengthening your inner life, this piece is designed to be a daily trailhead—something you return to each morning as a reminder that your next choice matters. Bring it into your home or workspace now, and let it anchor the bright new day you are ready to live.

Accompanying Inspirational Exercise — “Sunrise Reset: Set Your Day in Motion” (3 minutes, morning practice)
Stand before the artwork and examine the bright yellow, which represents your renewed intention, and the area of spikes/needles, which represents the friction you anticipate today (stress, doubt, conflict, resistance). Then do three quick prompts: (1) Intention: “Today, I choose to embody ___.” (peace, courage, patience, focus, compassion) (2) Boundary: “To protect that, I will say no to ___.” (overthinking, rushing, people-pleasing, self-criticism) (3) One Action: “Before noon, I will ___.” (one concrete step that makes the day real). Close with one sentence aloud: “A new day is here, and I choose how I meet it.” Repeated daily, this turns the artwork into a practical compass—helping your sunrise become more than a mood, and more like a way of living.
