Lifting the Veil

Lifting the Veil is a Rocky Mountain National Park black-and-white print made on one of those days when the park shifts its mood in minutes. RMNP feels like home to me—even when the wind is ripping, the rain is pouring, or the trail is nothing but mud. There’s a sense of familiarity and peace out there that I don’t feel many other places. At the same time, the mountains never let you get complacent. Conditions can turn fast, and you’re always paying attention.
 

This day went cold and wet almost instantly. Clouds dropped into the forested slopes and started moving through the trees like a curtain being pulled and released. That rolling fog created the separation the scene needed—dark evergreens, lighter mist, and the steep mountain face fading in and out of view. In black and white, the whole moment becomes texture and atmosphere: silhouettes, haze, and a soft glow where the cloud thins.
 

If you’re looking for Rocky Mountain National Park wall art or a moody foggy forest print with a calm, dramatic feel, Lifting the Veil brings that changing-mountain-weather atmosphere into a home or office.

    Print Size

    • All prints come with a 1.5 inch white border. All sizes listed on the website are of the actual printed image. For example, a 10”x10” photo will be on a 13”x13” piece of paper, a 16”x24” photo will be printed on a 19”x27” paper. This will make framing easier and ensure that the photo will not be covered by the frame or matting. If you need help with sizing then click here to message me.

    Superimposing

    • If you cannot decide on which image to select you may send me a photo of your room/space and I’d be happy to digitally superimpose up to a few images on your wall. This way you can vizualize how it will look in your room next to your lava lamp.

    Paper and Print Quality

    • These are not just posters! I've tested many papers that show my work in the best way possible, using paper from manufactures that were founded in the 1500s – yes, well before the 1980s! These papers and inks are of archive quality and are designed to last a really, really long time. They're thick and show color and light contrast well. Avoid touching printed area or exposure to direct sunlight.

    Computer screen vs Paper

    • Please be aware that the appearance of prints may differ from what you see on your computer screen. This is because screens have varying color and contrast settings and emit light. Rest assured; your print will have even more detail than the screen shows. That’s why printing is so fun!

    Framing

    • The prints do not come with framing or built in mounting capabilities – yet. If you would like to frame your print, I recommend visiting your professional local framing shop where they will guide you on mounting and glass options.

    Lighting and Care

    • To ensure the longevity of your print, It’s recommended avoiding direct sunlight and fluorescent lighting. Dont fold it, lick it, set it a fire, or wash it, like ever.

     

    I am determined to give you the best possible prints and make sure you are completely happy with them.
