About the Art: "The Empress"
Dakota painted The Empress in February of 2023. The original painting is 18x24 inches and is oil on stretched canvas.
This listing is for signed prints of her painting, not the original. Please see the originals section for that listing.

If there ever was a piece to embody all that is being a strong woman, this is it. Dakota wanted to imagine an empress of the sea, with all of her magical friends around her. A tamed sea dragon purrs idly by her side and lots of colorful fish (even a lion fish, which is known to be deadly) seem to be tamed by her presence. She looks at the viewer with a fierce and confident eye, while wearing a golden crown studded with shimmering rubies. Her blue hair and bodice are meant to be similar to the ocean, and you can also see small ocean waves along the base of her crown.
This piece is so vividly colored and detailed, it will surely captivate viewers for quite a while as they find all the hidden treasures.

 

These are high quality prints of her original painting (copies) Not an original painting.

Traditional Canvas Print (Signed)
High quality inks and materials, these are the most popular. Canvas prints are hand stretched over wood by Dakota and look the most like traditional art. These take approximately 5-8 days to create, plus shipping time. These usually arrive at your door in about 2 weeks. Canvas prints come hand signed by Dakota with a card that has the name of the artwork and the date your canvas was created.

These will retain value the best out of any print options of her work.

 

Flat Photo Print (Signed)
Printed on high quality thick photo paper, these come hand signed by Dakota and ship the fastest. They will need to be framed before hanging as they are a flat rolled print. They are the most affordable option.

 

Dakota makes both of these prints in house, these are not made by some big box retailer. She makes sure each one is hand crafted with care, from the making of the wood frame (for canvas), stretching, stapling, signing... all done by her! The photo and canvas prints are made in her house on her 44" commercial giclee printer with high quality pigment, museum grade archival inks. She takes the time to make sure you will get the highest quality print possible.

 

  • Please keep prints out of direct sunlight, away from high heat, away from freezing temperatures, and away from high humidity areas.
