Gentle Notes

About This Artwork

This piece was painted in memory of Sushi, a tiny girl with an immense presence.

Where I Learned To Hold You lives in the quiet space where love changes shape but never leaves. A gentle figure stands among blooming flowers, holding close the kind of bond that never needed words. It is a reflection of trust, understanding, and the quiet comfort of being deeply known.

While inspired by Sushi's story, this artwork can be personalized with your own treasured photo, allowing you to create a deeply meaningful piece that celebrates a companion, child, loved one, or even a chapter of your own story.

Every story deserves a magical place to live.

About Sushi

There was something about the way Sushi existed in the world. A calm intelligence. A beautiful stillness. Sushi was independent, certain of herself, almost human in her awareness. She didn’t follow , she chose.

When Sushi left me, the grief cracked something open that never closed again. I miss her every moment of every day.

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.
