The Ugly Duckling's Lament | 9x12 Fine Art Print | Limited Edition
One of Hans Christian Andersen's signature bittersweet tales, the saddest little cygnet laments his hideous misfortune while longing to join the beautiful swans soaring above. If only he knew they were his destiny!
While I personally think baby swans are absolutely adorable, silly fluff and all, I understand why the tale of the Ugly Duckling resonates so deeply with many a soul. For me, it was less a story about appearances, and more a story about an outsider who had yet to find their place in the world.

About My Fine Art Prints
I print all my fine art prints myself in my studio with a 9 ink giclée quality wide format Epson printer. Each print is individually inspected to assure the highest possible quality, both as an art print and an accurate representation of my original artwork.
Stock will always be low as I only make a few of these prints at a time. Each number is recorded until I reach a total of 25 prints, then a new edition will begin.
Prints consist of an archival matte paper with exceptional detail retention for a museum quality reproduction and lightfast ink for up to 200 years. For longest lasting results, please display this item framed behind glass.
Certificate of Authenticity
These are my own personal reproductions. Each of my fine art prints feature a Certificate of Authenticity or 'Print Plate' adhered to the back with an archival glue. These print plates are hand made themselves, stamped by hand and embossed on an archival parchment tone paper.
The slight variations and imperfections on each Print Plate creates an item that is truly unique and virtually impossible to counterfeit. The title, medium, and specified print number are hand written, and each Print Plate is signed and limited to a total of 25 prints per edition.
