HOW CHALK ART PRINTS ARE MADE
Chalk art is nothing more than dust on a surface. It’s this temporary, ephemeral nature that draws me to it. Chalkboards are nostalgic, yet timeless, a humble surface that can carry such beauty. I wanted a way to preserve the dust without fear of erasing, so I created the original Chalkboard Print. This is the artwork that started it all.

In order to preserve the design, I photograph the freshly drawn chalkboard to make a high-resolution digital print. This method enables me to send you a piece of chalkboard art, perfect in its imperfections, without worry of dust or erasing. All the nuances of the unmistakable hand-drawn style of chalk art are preserved on archival-quality paper with a matte, velvety finish.

"The humblest tasks get beautified if loving hands do them." I couldn’t think of a better medium for this lovely quote other than the humble surface of a chalkboard.

This quote just spoke to me on a deep level. When my Grandma wasn't doing well and in the hospital, my Mom visited her and snapped a photo of the two of their hands clasped together. I remember my Mom telling me "I just looked at her hands and thought about everything they had done." All the dinners she made, the poppyseed rolls, crocheting doilies, holding babies, making tea. This print makes me think of her.

As we work with two different small businesses for order creation and fulfillment, your order may arrive in two separate packages and at different times. Canvases and Framed Prints arrive from one vendor and traditional prints and all other Lily & Val items arrive from another vendor. This does not affect your shipping rate, we pick up the difference should your order be split.

Yes. Customers are responsible for any fees, taxes, and duties associated with purchasing & shipping to their respective countries.
