Gentle Notes
About This Piece
Quinta Salamandra was inspired by the beautiful art retreat that became my home for one unforgettable week in Mexico. It's a celebration of the quiet moments that often become our most treasured memories. A friendly dog waiting around every corner, a mischievous cat, a naughty vulture, and even an old bicycle that somehow came to symbolize belonging.
This painting is my love letter to a place that reminded me how healing it can be to feel welcomed, inspired, and completely at ease.
Part of the Happy Places Collection - a growing series celebrating the places that quietly find their way into our hearts and become part of who we are.

Oversized Giclée Prints
Most Mini Snail Arts prints are offered in carefully selected standard sizes and produced in my own studio.. If you're interested in displaying a piece as a larger statement artwork, oversized giclée prints may be available by special request.
These larger prints are professionally produced using archival materials and museum-quality printing processes through a trusted local fine art print studio. Availability may vary depending on the artwork and desired size.
If you have a particular space or size in mind, I'd be happy to explore the possibilities with you.
What Is Giclée Printing?
Giclée (pronounced zhee-clay) is a fine art printing process used by artists, galleries, and collectors around the world. Unlike mass-produced posters, giclée prints are created using archival pigment inks and fine art papers chosen for their exceptional colour accuracy, richness, and longevity.
Each Mini Snail Arts print is personally produced in my studio with great care and attention to detail. This process preserves the depth, texture, and subtle nuances of the original artwork in a way that standard commercial printing simply cannot.
When properly cared for, archival giclée prints can be enjoyed for generations, making them a meaningful addition to a collection and a lasting way to celebrate the stories that matter most.
Production & Packaging:
Every piece is personally produced, inspected, and packaged in my studio in Quebec, Canada.
Your artwork is carefully prepared for its journey, and opening your new treasure is intended to feel more like an experience than simply opening a package.
