Superior Sails

from $34.00

Evening settled gently over Grand Marais, Minnesota, the kind of peaceful dusk only Lake Superior can offer. The harbor was calm, the last whispers of sunlight fading beyond the Sawtooth Mountains, their jagged silhouettes now etched in deep blue against the softening sky.

That’s when the sailboat appeared, its red sails glowing faintly in the fading light, gliding silently toward the harbor. The lighthouse had already lit, casting a steady, warm beam out across the water, a quiet lookout welcoming the boat home. I lifted my camera just as the boat crossed into view, perfectly framed between water, mountains, and light. This image would become Superior Sails.

It was one of those moments that felt almost timeless - a quiet harbor, the hush of water against rock, and the graceful curve of canvas as the boat slipped closer to shore. I thought about how many evenings like this had passed in this little harbor town. How many sailors had come in just like this one, guided by that same light, their journey ending not in fanfare, but in peace.

Grand Marais is a town that moves slowly. It breathes with the rhythm of the lake. And this scene reminded me of that. That even in our fast-paced world, there are still places where time waits, where beauty sails in quietly, bathed in the last light of day.

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.
