The original collage was created with recycled greeting cards and digitized photographs.  Featured in this piece are images of famous alumnae of Mount Holyoke. If you would like me to sign the print to your uncommon person, please include the name in the “comments” box during checkout.

NEW OPTION: I can personalize this collage by adding the face of your Mount Holyoke graduate or alum. This option is a special order for 11×14 prints only and I will contact you to get the image that will be incorporated into the gate. See photo below with my face circled.

Giclee prints are created with a high resolution scan of the original work and then printed on heavy acid-free paper with ultra-chrome pigmented fine art ink.  Each is individually signed and presented in an archival off-white mat, ready for a standard size frame.  Or you can buy the art framed and ready to hang in either black or natural wood frames.

Larger prints (8×10 and above) reproduce the ragged edges of the originals, showing the pieces of the collage.  For prints larger than 11×14 or custom sizes, contact the artist.
