I’ve become obsessed with how crystals are formed. I’ve always had a connection with the energetic sensation while meditating with crystals. I was gifted an amethyst when I was 5. I remember asking over and over again if this was real, and how this could be possible. I had this instant natural connection to the stone. Discovering new kinds of crystals and learning the benefits of their properties has been a healing venture I’ve always enjoyed.
Not only are crystals insanely enchanting to gaze at, powerful in your hands, packed with vibration raising healing properties, but the metaphor of each unique stone being created from different environmental factors offers a comforting feeling of being less alone. There are so many different types of crystals that are magic in their own right, a sincere metaphor for humans being magic in their own way all being formed under different unique environmental circumstance. The influence of the world around them has shifted, changed, morphed, formed this insanely special glimmering object; making it hard to have a favorite.
The past year I’ve been using a wide range of natural materials and rock pigment in my art. I started to wonder how I can incorporate crystal healing without just sticking one in the center of a painting. The study of this new medium has been extremely inspiring. “a new season” of my art study with rock pigment. I’ve been experimenting with a wide range of raw crystals, testing the stages of precious stones and premature formations. Muddling, smashing, liquifying, extracting.
”a new season” was my first attempt at utilizing all of the different experiments I’ve tried using crystals. In this piece, you will find extracted color from a huge chunk of raw rose quartz, crumbles of quartz + aventurine throughout giving the most glorious texture, black onyx powdered pigment, chunks of raw black onyx + crystal quartz + ocean jasper, and a perfect square piece of exotic mother of pearl from Australia.
The hanging gear installed to each piece differs by weight, size, and frame type. We install the best option for each work, and *test* them on our studio wall way before a purchase is made, to ensure the gear is sturdy and reliable for the weight.
If the painting you are purchasing is going to be hung on a surface that needs a particular type of gear, please reach out so we can make that happen for you.
Our shipping rates are pre-set and determined by size & weight. The pre-set prices have been thoughtfully chosen, using the safest and most cost effective shipping methods. We split and match the total shipping & handling cost for each purchase in order to offer a pre-fixed price that doesn't fluctuate.
We ship every painting ground, unless upgraded to 3 day air - UPS ground shipping typically takes 3-7 business days. The paintings in this collection are "ready to ship" meaning once we receive your order we will start our secure packing process. We can typically get the painting ready to ship within 1-3 business days!
Our paintings frames are uniquely crafted to complement and complete each individual piece, tying the entire vision together. Some works have pre-planned frames that we use as a focal point, and inspiration.
We have had occurrences of collectors loving a painting, but finding the frame not meshing with the rest of the vibe in their space. If you find yourself in that predicament, please reach out to inquire how we can accommodate re-framing the peice.
VIRTUAL TOUR
buying art is a big decision, especially online without experiencing it in person can make anyone a little nervous. we have been on a mission to find the best lighting /camera to properly photograph our highly textured work. viewing our works in person is a completely different experience, and we are motivated to making the online experience as special; before the art reaches your home.
OUR ART, YOUR SPACE
if you send us a few photos of your space (the spot you envision the painting: head on & from the side) we can create a rendering of what it would look like. we aim to make every experience collecting art with us personal: in person, or by phone from across the globe.
please reach out for additional videos, information, or questions about a peice. our goal is to bridge the gap between the online art purchasing experience and direct from the artist at a fair. nothing brings us more joy than connecting with people from all walks of life.
