Originals
All original paintings are finished with a protective varnish that guards against dust, airborne residue, and harmful UV rays that can cause color fading over time. To clean the surface of your painting, gently wipe with a soft, non-abrasive microfiber cloth — no need for cleaners or sprays. If you're moving the piece to a different location in your home, always protect the corners of the canvas, wood panel, or frame during handling.
Art Prints
All art prints are shipped in a clear protective sleeve to shield the surface from dust, fingerprints, and humidity. For best preservation, leave your print in its sleeve until you're ready to place it behind glass in a frame with mat. This helps prevent warping caused by moisture in the air, keeps the paper clean and flat while matting prevents the print from sticking to the glass from the inside over time. Always handle prints with clean, dry hands or gloves, and avoid placing unframed prints in direct sunlight or damp environments.

Tell Me Child draws inspiration from a 700-year-old sacred tree in Bali—an ancient being so vast and alive, it feels less like a tree and more like a wise elder. Standing beneath it, one is struck by a sense of calm and humility, as if invited into a quiet exchange: Now tell me, child—what brings you to me today? Tell Me Child is an invitation to pause, to reflect, and to connect with something older, wiser, and deeply alive.
This painting captures that moment of soul-searching stillness—where guidance is felt rather than spoken, and the natural world becomes a sacred listener.
Tell Me Child is a 36x36 in. oil painting, framed in a custom, hand-made natural birch floating frame. This surreal tree painting comes fitted with D-rings and a wire hanger—ready to install the moment it comes home with you.
