Welcome you to my new site! This will be used primarily for my watercolors. At a later date, I will be adding jewelry pieces. You can find more of my work is at lovefromsantabarbara.com.
I will be selling framed giclées at A Crimson Holiday beginning October 15, 2021 through the end of the year and into the first week of January 2022.
Luminous Watercolors and Giclées
My paintings are inspired by living in Santa Barbara. I’m so grateful to live here and draw on my creative muse by seeing my surroundings every day.
Using the best quality paints and paper is important to me to insure a long life for my paintings. I use professional quality watercolor paint, acid-free watercolor paper (usually Arches), and either frame my paintings with archival museum quality mats (acid free) or mount them on wood panels and wax the surface to protect them.
I am providing much of my work in the form of giclées, fine art prints using archival ink on high quality acid free watercolor paper. It can be hard to tell a giclée from an original. They both last more than a lifetime if treated with care and are kept out of direct sunlight. Giclées don’t decrease the value of an original. If anything, they can increase it. I’m offering my work in this format to make it more affordable to get it into the world.
Hope you enjoy my work!
