North Shore Serenity

from $34.00

It was early, the kind of early where even the sun hadn’t quite decided to rise yet. I stood at the edge of Lake Superior, the North Shore stretching out in both directions, untouched and silent. The water lapped gently against the smooth, colorful stones beneath my boots - reds, blues, and grays worn round by time and tide.

The mosquitoes were relentless, buzzing in my ears like static, biting any patch of skin I missed with bug spray. A constant reminder that the Northwoods are still wild and untamed. But I stayed. Because places like this are worth the discomfort.

Out in the lake, a lone sea stack rose from the water, worn by centuries of waves. A small arch had been carved through its base, and from its top grew a few scrappy pine trees, weathered but standing strong. They looked like they had always been there, acting as quiet sentinels of this forgotten shore.

There wasn’t a soul in sight. No crowds, no cameras, no noise. Just the soft rise of dawn, the murmur of the lake, and the slow reveal of color across the horizon. This corner of the country feels like a secret, like something only a few have stumbled across and decided to keep to themselves.

In a world that often feels too fast, too crowded, this quiet stretch of shoreline is a reminder that beauty still exists beyond the beaten path. You just have to go looking for it - and sometimes, swat a few mosquitoes along the way.

Metal Prints

Metal prints are celebrated for their unmatched durability and vibrant color presentation, delivering extraordinary sharpness and detail. The sleek, modern finish enhances the luminosity of each image, making colors pop with a radiant glow. With superior fade resistance, metal prints maintain their brilliance over time, embodying the pinnacle of photographic reproduction.

Each image is first printed to a transfer paper, then infused into Chromaluxe metal by heat and pressure. This process combined with our custom made color profiles give true to life colors and exceptional detail.

Fine Art Glicee Paper Prints

Fine art prints stand out with their exceptional quality, capturing the subtlety of shades and the intricacies of texture, ideal for reproducing artworks and photographs with artistic merit. Their archival inks and heavyweight papers promise longevity and aesthetic appeal, offering a sophisticated, gallery-worthy presentation that honors the creator's vision. All fine art prints require framing. I currently do not offer framing or mat boards for photo prints and fine art prints.

My fine art prints utilize the highest quality archival inks printed onto premium photo paper. This process ensures a sharp and true-to-life image, reflecting both the subtleties and vibrance of the original.

Canvas Prints

A museum-quality canvas ready for display. Using the giclee printing process, archival ink is sprayed onto these fine art canvases and gallery-wrapped. These prints feature subtle fine art texture with ultra-tight corners and sharp color accuracy.

All photos are printed on certified archival quality canvas that is hand-stretched in the USA around a 1.5” wood stretcher frame. Canvas includes a smooth matte finish that eliminates any unwanted glare or reflections. Canvas is a poly-cotton blend that is guaranteed to have a 100+ year display life. With no optical brighterners or synthetic fibers, this is considered the highest quality canvas available in the photo printing industry. Once wrapped, a durable display handware is attached directly to the back of the canvas. Depending on the size, this will either be a sawtooth or wire for hanging.

Recommend using a microfiber towel to remove dust or fingerprints.
