I was struck with the dilemma of immortality experienced by our Elvish hero. She wants to live a full life, and love those around her, but she also feels the need to protect herself from the despair of losing her closest friends, over and over for a thousand years. I think her struggle is a powerful metaphor for how we all must navigate the joys and pain of being mortal. How do we remain vulnerable and open to life's beauty, but not allow loss and death to eventually drag us down? I personally believe that we must choose to love, one day at a time, because that is the only path that leads to a life worth living.

NOTE - You can choose between two paper types for your print:

1) Handmade Japanese Paper: Created by the Kikuchi Studio in Ehime Japan, this paper features a lovely mulberry texture and rough deckled edges. The overall effect makes our giclée prints look like real historical Japanese prints. I'm very proud of these!

2) Western Paper: This is a high quality 80 lb cover paper, similar to hot press watercolor paper. My art prints look stunning on its smooth, matte finish. This is the paper I usually bring to conventions, so if you have purchased art from me at a live event, you probably have this paper style.

Every print is signed by the artist.
Measures 12x17 inches.

FRAMING:

This print looks great in a standard 16 x 20 frame (US, Canada) or 40 x 50 cm (everywhere else).

Inside the frame, you can place your print over a sheet of colored paper for a lovely effect. Canson makes textured paper in many colors. It looks great at a low price. Here's a link.
