"Afraid to Fly"





This is really an "early work" - I think this is one of the oldest pieces of my work that I have left in my studio. I painted this in 2008 with watercolor pencils and watercolors. It has been kept in a frame in the dark for years. The paper is quite warped, since I didn't start using thicker paper until after this piece, but a skilled framer can probably get it flattened out. I'll ship it with the mat from the frame it was in just to help protect the painting in shipping. The painting itself is about 11"x14" in size.

She ships safely packed in a box with a Certificate of Authenticity to anywhere in the world.

About the Artist:

I started selling my artwork online when I was a teenager way back in 2003. I joined eBay in 2005 and that's when things really got started for me. Since then I have sold my art on and off eBay, participated in dozens of shows all over the world, provided art for books, documentaries, magazines, licensed products, home decor, and illustrated a tarot deck (Angel Tarot, Llewellyn, 2025).

When I started out I lived in Washington State, where I grew up. I was heavily inspired, and my work still is, by the forests around me. Life took me lots of different places; first Arizona, then Montana, and most recently Georgia. I don't know if it is done taking me places yet, but I kind of hope it's not. I've always been a bit of a wanderer in the physical sense as well as the imaginary sense, and I can't wait to see what my next adventure will be.

I started selling my work when I was working primarily as a digital artist, but over the years I've left that behind and now I produce work using mostly traditional tools. Specifically, these days I mostly create in oils. I use traditional, old world techniques to create my paintings using modern materials. I sometimes still dabble with oil pastels, graphite, and watercolor, although that's increasingly rare these days.

If you are interested in my work, I want you to know I put all of my heart into every piece, and that your purchase supports a living artist who very much appreciates your support.

Thanks for reading this far,

Tiffany

Packaging and Shipping

I take packaging your art pretty seriously. From my experience, very few artists are spending the amount of time I am to make sure your art arrives in one piece, as perfect as it was when it left my studio! I have been known to over-pack things, but I have had pretty decent luck so far with shipping my paintings all over the world!

I ship worldwide. I insure original paintings no matter where they are going. I don't insure prints unless you ask me to, or it's a big order!

At this time, we only offer frames with the paintings when they are shown in the pictures. We don't have a big framing shop to custom frame paintings, although I wish we did! You can always message me for advice if you want my opinion on framing something you've purchased. I am not a professional framer but I'll always give you my honest opinion!
