Yes to Life : L’Chaim
Vernissage August 28th - Sept 4th

 
 

Vernissage : August 28th - September 4th

Vernissage comes from the French word for varnish. In the 19th century, artists would invite collectors in to see their work while the paint was still fresh. Today, it means a first look, a private unveiling - the moment a collection is revealed to the world.

This vernissage marks my birthday and sobriety anniversary.

During this Special Week, every collector will receive their “Yes to Life” print and a second piece of artwork (shown below), signed, with a handwritten love letter from me to you. This special personalized gift is available through September 4th.



Sweet like a flower in bloom is a similar but different version of the “yes to life” linocut, printed on pages from a book about lucid dreaming.

This is a re-print of the original on heavy card stock. The quote is handwritten on top of the artwork with calligraphy pen and ink, signed and dated on the back, just for you. The size of the print is approximately 5x6”.

 

Sweet like a flower in bloom with a handwritten love letter will arrive separately from your YES to Life : L’Chaim Print.

Yes to Life: L’Chaim
A linocut celebration of rooted wildness and a life fully expressed

 

30x40” print in black frame (frame not included)

 

In Hebrew the word “Chai” means life.
It holds the Hebrew numerology of 18, a number considered lucky and symbolic of giving life.
“L'Chaim” is what we say when we raise our glass in a toast of celebration, to life.
I got sober on 8/18/1987 at the age of 18, I was born on 8/28/1968
A triple blessing of 8s and 18s. to life, to life, to life!

The wildflowers in this new linocut are a metaphor for the wild act of saying yes to life, yes to ourselves, and
yes to being fully self-expressed, blooming freely while rooted deeply in our own being.
Here’s an opportunity to celebrate your own life and raise a (non-alcoholic) glass to toast L'Chaim
inside your heart and home.
(Listen to the pronunciation of  “L'Chaim” here)

FAQ

  • Not yet. For this first Vernissage, shipping is available only within the United States. International shipping will be available in future releases. Stay tuned.

  • Linocut is a printmaking process where an image is carved by hand into linoleum and then printed directly from the block. The piece featured here was created as a one-of-a-kind linocut. What you are purchasing is a giclée print of that original, produced with archival inks and fine art paper to faithfully preserve every detail.
