"Embellishing" refers to hand painting over areas of the image by applying brush strokes to enhance color, and add interesting texture.
After receiving the print back from the printer, I grab my paint brushes and hand paint over many areas of interest and highlights to make it look like the original!
In its most basic definition, giclée is a French term for “to spray” or “to squirt”.
It references the process that an inkjet printer uses to reproduce fine art or photography to create individual copies of the original piece. It is important to note that not all inkjet prints are giclée prints. With giclée printing, you can expect a higher quality product that lasts longer than your run-of-the-mill inkjet prints and there are certain criteria that must be met for a print to be considered a giclée.
As are the lines on human hands, no two artists’ embellishing techniques are the same. Nothing can beat the original edition of an artwork. However, you can buy a giclée that is still a one-of-a-kind since I am adding in hand painted brush strokes with all kinds of nourishing healing energy for you.
One of the biggest reasons to buy an embellished giclée is that it increases the value of your print.
Because embellishments make the work more original, it becomes more valuable and rare. The high quality and long lifespans of giclées ensure that the prints appreciate in value.

Each painting is created with intention, reverence and healing energy. I go deep within myself to pull out experiences from my own life that are diamonds in the rough and I work on carving them into full fledged diamonds. This transformation process is deeply healing for me, and it is my hope that it is for you as well just by viewing my art. Some paintings take me 3 hours, some take 3 months, and some take 3 years (on and off).
It is hard for me emotionally to let go of my originals. Each piece carries memories with it, not only of my process, but also what was happening in my house while it was being created. The coos of my youngest and the giggles of my oldest. Cherished memories are interwoven into the very fabric of each painting. There is an indescribable beauty when you intertwine both grace and sorrow, joy and pain, gratitude and wanting to bottle up every moment into your heart.
Thank you so much for visiting my website, and for you interest in my work. I appreciate all of your support so much and I can feel it.
Always,
Sarah 🌹
When I first started my healing journey at the end of 2009, I was very drawn to any kind of uplifting or activating positive quotes.
This love eventually lead me to discover the writings of Rumi of Persia who lived 1207 to 1273. His writing is from deep within the heart and very healing, you can check some of his work out here.
I named all of the pieces in this collection after Rumi quotes because his words are like a candle in the darkness. They can light the path for you to find your way out of any dark forest you find yourself in. They contain activating codes.
I named this collection The Fierce Grace + Raw Wisdom Collection because that has been the energy of my own personal healing journey. Rogue and unapologetic, I forged my own path, in my own way, with my own tools and in my own time in both my Art world and personal life. If you would like to learn more about my healing tools or book a healing session with me click here.
These paintings show the energy and power of the Body/Heart (emotions) combined with the radiating frequencies of the Mind (thoughts). All were created with the frequencies of love, gratitude, confidence, freedom, forgiveness and wisdom.

“Every day I wake up and see my beautiful painting titled “Endless Possibilities” on the wall next to my bed. The way she is flinging her hair back, absorbing the sun’s rays around her reminds me to be strong and carefree and take one day at a time. She’s sensual, dynamic and empowered all rolled into one. I absorb her energy to start my day on a positive note and remember to cherish each day and all the adventures it may hold for me. Sarah has a unique gift to capture the essence of a woman so we can all be reminded of how beautiful we are inside and out.”
