I’ll be setting up a couple more locations to buy my prints in the near future (like Etsy and Fine Art America), so check back. At this moment, only my Instagram shots are for sale via Instacanvas and I have several prints matted and available at a local shop. If there’s something of mine out there you’d like but isn’t available either in one of those locations I’ve mentioned or in a format you like, just contact me through my new website.
