Gentle Notes

About This Piece

Some paintings stay with you long before you ever pick up a brush.
For me, one of those has always been Las Meninas, a masterpiece filled with mystery, presence, and a quiet sense of life unfolding within its frame.

I’ve always been drawn to it. So I began to wonder… What would this look like in my whimsy world? That question became The Whimsy Meninas. A reimagining of the original, where the structure remains… but everything else softens.

This piece holds that delicate balance I return to again and again in my work.
A place where familiar stories can be retold in a way that feels warm, vivid, and quietly magical.

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.

Returns

Original:

All original artworks are one-of-a-kind pieces, created by hand and shipped with care from my studio in Canada. Because of their unique and irreplaceable nature, returns or exchanges are not accepted once an artwork has been delivered.

If your artwork arrives damaged during transit, please contact me within 48 hours of delivery with clear photos of the packaging and the artwork itself. All original artworks are shipped with insurance, which helps cover damage that may occur during shipping, and I will guide you through the next steps if a claim is needed.

Original artworks may show natural variations in texture, surface, or detail. These are not flaws, but part of the character of a hand-made piece and part of what makes each work uniquely its own.

I understand that purchasing original art is a meaningful decision. If you have questions before purchasing, I encourage you to reach out so I can help you feel confident and informed. If a concern arises after delivery, you’re welcome to contact me — I read every message personally and will always respond with care and honesty.

Prints:

Because all giclée prints are made-to-order individually and created specifically for you, returns and exchanges cannot be accepted unless your order arrives damaged or there is an error in production.

If your order arrives damaged, please contact me within 7 days of delivery and include photographs of the artwork, packaging, and any visible damage so that I can assess the issue and work with you to find a solution.

Your experience with Mini Snail Arts is important to me, and I want you to be delighted with your artwork from the moment it arrives.
