"Love..." from Shakespeare's Sonnet 116
This excerpt from one of Shakespeare's most well-known sonnets captures the steadfastness of true love. The key word, "Love," is surrounded with colorful Florentine design and the 15th-century Batarde text gradually phases from a rich red into deep brown watercolor on a gold parchment background. Each archival giclee print in this limited edition is embellished by hand with gold accents, signed and numbered by the artist, and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
Edition of 116 prints, 8” x 10”
Print $55. Matted $69. Framed $150.

“Tryambakam”
This chant, known to many as the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra, comes from a verse in the Yajurveda, and is known as the Great Death-conquering Mantra. It is said that this mantra rejuvenates as well as bestows health, wealth, long life, peace, prosperity and contentment on the chanter….and it’s Catherine’s favorite! The transliterated Sanskrit is rendered in gem-toned Batarde and the English beneath is in a delicate Copperplate. Limited edition archival giclee prints, signed and numbered by the artist.
Edition of 125 prints, 9.5” x 11.5”
Print $45. Matted $64. Framed $175.

“Blessing of the Light”
This ancient Gaelic blessing of Scottish origin is one of many beautiful benedictions and prayers long preserved in an oral tradition, then written, and then translated into English. This piece was inspired by a mother’s wedding gift to her son after reading this blessing to the new couple. The original is lettered in black Sumi ink in the Foundational style, and the sun is drawn in archival ink and painted with gold watercolor accents. A limited edition of giclee prints are numbered, signed, and hand-embellished in gold.

“Music is a moral law.
It gives soul to the universe,
wings to the mind,
flight to the imagination,
a charm to sadness,
gaiety and life to everything.
It is the essence of order
and lends to all that is good
and just and beautiful,
of which it is the invisible,
but nevertheless dazzling,
passionate, and eternal form."
Just wanted to THANK YOU for the beautiful work you did on the musical quote from Plato! You truly made the piece your own with all the special artistic touches added along with the calligraphy...it is more than what I expected and equally as beautiful as its message!!!! -- Heidi Funke
