Description

Each photograph is individually hand-enhanced with crushed glass, adding texture and light-catching detail that can’t be reproduced by standard printing. No two pieces are exactly alike. The print is professionally matted to a standard 8×10 size, so it’s ready to frame as soon as it arrives.

The companion card is handmade, reflecting the photo art and featuring an inspirational quote. I chose Henry David Thoreau in the context of this artwork; Thoreau’s words echo the way the birds move effortlessly between sky, sea, and shoreline, reminding us that beauty and wonder are not distant or grand, but present where we stand. His philosophy invites us to slow down, to notice the harmony between land and air, and to recognize that nature itself is a form of spiritual grounding.

Available as a high-quality art print, this piece makes a meaningful gift for bird lovers, beach enthusiasts, or as a reminder of time spent by the sea.
