"Sanctuary" 2018 by Dakota Daetwiler
A little girl wanders the shore of a beautiful lake with hr lantern. The pastel colors in this piece give it a very safe and comforting feeling, especially with all of the tulips, bunnies, ducks, and hidden elements such as the ladder going up the side of the cliff. The tree house and bridge make this piece feel even more surreal and playful.
This was one of Dakota's very first times ever using oil paints. She frequently had nightmares as a kid growing up, and wanted to make this peaceful serene imagery to help with that. She hopes it will hang on the walls of lots of little kids rooms and bring them peace and tranquility when they are scared. 
 
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.
