WHAT IS A SEMI ORIGINAL?

A semi-original is a unique piece that bridges the gap between a print and an original painting. It begins with a high-quality reproduction of one of my original works, which I then personally enhance by hand with layers of acrylic paint and gold leaf. Because each piece is individually hand-finished, no two semi-originals are exactly alike, each has its own variations, texture, and character. It offers the look and presence of an original artwork at a more accessible price point while still containing my hand-painted touch.

THE PROCESS

The Base

Every semi-original begins with a high-quality reproduction print of an original work to serve as the foundation.

The Hand-Finishing

I personally enhance each piece by hand, applying rich layers of acrylic paint and genuine gold leaf to add unique texture and character.

The Final Original

Because each piece is individually hand-finished, no two are exactly alike—delivering a one-of-a-kind artwork with the depth of an original at a more accessible price point.
