Originals vs Prints: How to Tell the Difference
In the vast world of art, the line between original masterpieces and fine art prints can sometimes seem as delicate as a painter's brush stroke. To the untrained eye, they might appear indistinguishable, but look closely and you'll uncover the subtle nuances that set them apart. In this guide we'll explore the secrets that separate fine art prints from original paintings, dive into the intricacies of open edition and limited edition prints, and unveil what makes original art and limited edition prints so collectible.
When Dreams Come True
I hope that the Practical Horseman Painted Saddles project serves as an inspiration for you to embark on your own creative ventures. From collaborating with Practical Horseman and Stubben to witnessing Olympic riders Will Coleman and Boyd Martin sign the saddles I painted, my time at the 2023 Kentucky Three-Day Event was nothing short of extraordinary. It felt like a dream, and I'm immensely grateful to everyone who made this experience unforgettable.
A Brush with Greatness
Do you believe in serendipity? I had never thought about it much, but after this year, I'm convinced it's real. The whole experience of painting Will Coleman's saddle was an emotional rollercoaster, proof that incredible opportunities can come when you least expect them.
Let’s Do It Live
While each project has helped me grow more comfortable with sharing my personal art, I've never had the opportunity to invite people to watch me paint - until now! Recently, I had the great honor of being the artist in residence at the Carolina International CCI & Horse Trial, held from March 16-19 2023, where I painted in real-time at the Carolina Club.
