About the print: 

This is a professionally printed giclee produced from one of my drawings. The print is made with UV pigmented inks that are 
lightfast and durable, rated to last 150-200 years. The artwork is printed on white, fine art 210 g/m2 matte watercolor paper by 
Hahnemuhle . The paper is acid-free with 50% rag. It has a natural white finish with a slightly-structured soft-textured surface. 
There is a 1" border around all four edges of the artwork, allowing for easy matting and framing.


About the artwork:

This giclee whimsically combines two of my favorite styles - abstraction and photorealism - into a brightly-colored, delightful piece that sings with color and imagination.

Fulgent Life, the abstract painting providing the background for Pink Cupcake, was painted in 2006. I spent that summer on a beautiful hilltop in southern France, surrounded by lush views and plenty of nature. My abstract paintings have been heavily influenced by my panoramic surroundings as well as my up-close observations of plants and insect life. I have termed my new series of nature-based abstracts my Anicca series. Anicca is a Pali term meaning impermanence. Like the Impressionists, I am deeply influenced by the changes in the scenery around me caused by the changing position of the sun and atmospheric changes such as wind, rain, and fog. These paintings depict the ever-changing quality of nature; its unpredictability, raw form, and constant flow. This painting depicts the element of earth - rocks, stones, soil, minerals, and the things that live amongst them.
