It's my BIRTHDAY : ) To celebrate I have released 4 special "hybrid prints" - you can find them in my shop now. They are all framed and ready to hang : ) 1. Amulet Benefits 8 x 10" $150 CAD Hand painted elements: gold amulet and gold plants ( on left and right). 2. Magician's Moon 8 x 10" $150 CAD Hand-painted elements: moon peeking out from behind the tree and gold highlights on candlesticks and flames. 3. Little Tired Witch 8 x 8" $140 CAD Hand painted elements: the golden moon, the golden highlights on the plants bottom/left, the red lava and the mauve flowers located under the tree. 4.

A hybrid print is an archival print where I have added a few hand-painted elements making it a unique work of art.

Thanks to the folks sharing photos of the prints you recently grabbed, it's fun to see them nestled in and amongst your belongings...bonus if pets are in the pic ! For those of you still mulling it over - there's still time to get something for your home or office or home office : )

Want to know what lights me up about what I do? It's this. It’s the sweet dm's and emails I get from people who have just recieved my artwork in the mail ! What a difference from when I first started selling art directly to my clients- Full disclosure : I used to be so anxious about mailing art to people : will it get there safely? Now I'm way more confident : and can easily say yes, yes it will ! Artists save this post for list of shippers below these are some local heroes for shipping and of course shout out to @canadapostagram : @vancouver_pkgdepot @harrisonartservices @denbighfas *also so happy to have these thank-you cards made with beautiful branding by @novemberwild #art #shippingart #painting #rebeccachaperon #vancouverartist #vancouverart https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfcc6ukvf0G/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
