Original & Prints Available:

I love the excitement in this abstract acrylic painting, and it’s one of my personal favourites! Layers were built up with explosions of colour during creation, and the painting began to take on a life of its own. A bit of delicious chaos perhaps?

The original 36" painting was donated to the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra for the Silent Auction that is part of their At Home Symphony Gala yearly fundraiser. Learn more here.

For Originals & Giclée Prints select from product sizes above (paper prints have an additional 2" white border on all four sides, eg. 24" x 24" print comes on 28" x 28" paper). For information about Prints & Commissions see below.

Convexo Canvas Print & Paper Print descriptions

Consider a high-quality made-to-order Giclée print of the original that is printed with archival pigment inks on Heavy Canvas or Fine Art Textured Paper. Multiple sizes are available for each painting — please choose a size above to see the price.

Fine Art Textured Paper is a heavy weight, cold-pressed paper that has a natural white finish with a coarse, structured surface equivalent to traditional watercolor paper. Prints on this paper feature fine detail, vivid colours and deep blacks.

Paper Giclée prints have an extra 2” border of white paper beyond the image on all sides (eg. 24" x 24" print is on 28" x 28" paper). The round painting image retains the appearance of the original's curved edge and floats within that square space.

Canvas prints mounted on the Convexo (curved-edged) canvasses have artwork cropped-in slightly to ensure crisp fidelity during print reproduction. See the photo labeled as ‘Cropped simulation of print reproduction’ in the above product photos.
