First Light, the full painting shown in a walnut frame

The idea behind it

Why First Light.

First Light is the hour before a house wakes up. One blossom, a bare branch, two birds crossing the morning sky.

It doesn't ask for attention. It just changes how a room feels to sit in.

The season turning, before you looked up.

Up close

The detail.

The brushwork.

Made to last

How each piece is made.

Every First Light is produced by hand, one at a time, then checked and packed with care before it makes its way to you.

First Light held up, showing its scale

Giclée printing, archival inks.

Printed with archival pigment inks on textured fine-art canvas, holding the colour, depth and detail of the original.

Ready to frame.

Your canvas ships rolled and ready to set in a frame of your choice, so it fits your wall exactly the way you want.

Made once you order.

Nothing sits in a warehouse. Each piece is produced individually after you order, which is why it takes 2-3 weeks.

Protected in transit.

Packed to arrive flawless: rolled in a rigid tube, cushioned and corner-protected.

From the studio

I made First Light for the hour before a house wakes up: one blossom, a bare branch, two birds crossing the sky. It won't take over a room. It just changes how the room feels to sit in.
