About This Image

Lady Liberty standing over New York Harbor is truly one of those iconic sights. There’s no question that the Statue of Liberty has become one of our most iconic American symbols.

When I was working on this art print, I wanted to impart a vintage feel, hence the retro color and the rough textures. I wanted this picture of Lady Liberty to feel like it might be a classic old poster or a vintage postcard. In other words, like something that might have been pulled found in Grandma’s attic. Loved and old but rough around the edges.

I also wanted to give a nod to the French Origins of Lady Liberty who was originally a gift to the USA from the people of France. Liberty Enlightening The World is her actual name and she was designed by Frédéric Bartholdi. After years of stop and go progress, the Statue of Liberty was unveiled and dedicated on October 28, 1886, by President Grover Cleveland. The full story of this iconic statue is too long to give substance to here, but I think most American schoolchildren still know her tale even a century on.

That nod of course is the French postmark on this picture of the State of Liberty. It reinforces the feeling that this might be a beautiful vintage postcard. The final print not only has a bit of French flair but it really feels like an art print that has the weight of the ages on top of it. A real classic take on an American icon.

One of my favorite parts of this scene, though, may be the people on the shores of Liberty Island. The scale they add really brings home just how large Lady Liberty actually is!

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
