Print Quality Details

These museum-quality giclée canvas and premium paper prints are crafted with premium, ethically sourced materials and archival, acid-free inks to ensure lasting beauty. From durable poplar wood stretcher bars to precision Epson printing, every piece reflects exceptional craftsmanship, delivering a timeless, elegant artwork made to the highest professional standards.

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 Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of My Own Happiness, As I Create My Own Reality” is a declaration of inner sovereignty—an invitation to remember that your life is not merely happening to you, it is being shaped through you. Born from the core realization that human life is a spiritual journey (whether we consciously acknowledge it or not), this work carries the ethos of my 2013 awakening: stay curious, question with open-minded skepticism, and keep what leads you back to love, clarity, and personal responsibility.

Visually, the piece balances the grounded presence of an earth-toned desert landscape and distant mountains with an energized, abstract “mind-sky” of fractured light. Jagged crystalline forms in electric blues, whites, golds, and violets slice through clouds and atmosphere, while transparent overlays and layered textures create the sensation of perception in motion—fragmentation giving way to transformation. In the language of this project, the Sonoran Desert isn’t just a backdrop; it’s a metaphor for resilience, abundance, and the inner path of self-discovery—where ego and higher self meet, and where meaning is forged by the perspective you choose.

This artwork is designed to function like a trailhead signpost: a daily visual reminder that spirituality is personal, that destiny is authored from within, and that your reality responds to the meanings you assign to your experiences. If you feel called to live with more intention—especially here in Tucson, where the desert continually teaches strength and renewal—bring this piece into your space now, and let it anchor the life you are choosing to create.

Accompanying Inspirational Exercise — “The Reality-Creation Pause”

As a living extension of this artwork, try the Reality-Creation Pause, a simple daily practice inspired by the piece’s interplay between fragmentation and harmony. Once a day, stand before the artwork (or visualize it) and pause for sixty seconds. Notice one area of your life that currently feels fractured or chaotic, then consciously name the perspective you are choosing to bring to it—courage instead of fear, curiosity instead of judgment, responsibility instead of blame. Finally, commit to one small, tangible action that reflects that chosen perspective. Like the layered desert sky in this piece, your reality reorganizes when intention meets action. This artwork is meant to remind you—quietly, consistently—that happiness is not pursued somewhere else; it is created, moment by moment, from within.
