a little print shop

Launched in November 2023 the shop sells archival giclée print editions of my original paintings. I am adding a few original paintings mid year. All deliveries are managed by art transport company Pack & Send.

You can read a little about giclée prints here. In November 2023 I curated my first six limited edition giclée prints. I’ll be adding to them every few months under different themes,. The first six editions mirror my visual essay from VALA Issue 4’s sad but timely theme ‘War & Peace’.

To help communicate the ‘story’ of each theme (and for other reasons) I’ve been making ceramic amulets for each order. In my print shop you can view my first 2023 ‘War & Peace’ amulets which invoke the various honour principles from the ‘Ancient World’ and are raw and unglazed with tinted variations. The second & third amulets are themed ‘Love in a Cold Climate’ which reminds us to preserve emotions, small gestures, eccentricity, romance and to forgive our imperfections.The second is themed ‘On The Road’ to balance our attractions & repulsions when we face epic challenges. These prints will be uploaded sometime in 2024. Read more about my amulets.

    Other Information

  • Image & Paper Size: We use the term “approximate” as prints vary in size. The term means that your image sits slightly within or outside of these standard sizes (A3/A2), but not significantly so. For example, when a print is very narrow, it refers to the length; and when square it refers to the width of a standard size A3 or A2. Please always refer to the “image size” measurement provided.

  • Amulets: I fire a large number of them at a time, but if I run out I will contact each buyer to offer a different design or a wait time.
