Under the stage lights, eight years in the making
This portrait captures musician Amos Lee live on stage, inspired by the first time I saw him perform at The Pageant in St. Louis, eight years after first discovering his music on Pandora.
Inside the Art: The Story Behind Amos Lee “Spirit”
Lee is shown under a warm stage light, wearing a black leather jacket and T-shirt, glasses catching the glow, every bit the rock star I witnessed live. The background is a non-objective painting of dark, brushed strokes in rich blues and purples, chosen to complement the tones of his guitar and skin.
Drips, splatters, polka dots, and loose brushwork bring a sense of energy and motion to the piece, echoing the feeling of witnessing the music live. The painting is titled after Lee’s 2016 album Spirit, my favorite song at the time he created the piece.

Print Technique & Materials
Prints are reproductions of original paintings using a high-quality inkjet printing technique known as "giclee."
Unframed and framed artwork is printed on archival cotton rag paper, which is acid free and will resist fading and discoloration for generations. Unframed prints on paper are unsigned and feature a 1.5"-2" white border around the image. Most unframed prints are non-standard sizes and will require a custom mat to properly display the artwork, though the outer dimensions of the mat will fit standard frame sizes.
All framing is custom made to the exact specifications of each image, with an acid-free white mat and acrylic glazing (glass is prone to breaking when shipped). Most prints are non-traditional sizes and will not fit properly in mats or frames purchased off the shelf, therefore custom framing is recommended.
Canvas prints are referred to as "gallery-wrapped" because the color or image wraps around the sides of the canvas and it is stapled on the back. The canvas is wrapped around 1.5" deep wood stretcher bars and arrives ready to hang.
Framed canvas prints feature a "float frame," which has a 0.25" gap between the edge of the canvas and the frame moulding. The frame is 2" deep.
Custom Mat for Unframed Paper
Most unframed prints are non-standard sizes and will require a custom mat to properly display the artwork, though the outer dimensions of the mat will fit standard frame sizes.
You can purchase a custom mat from your local frame shop or online. If online, we suggest Matboard & More. Choose Arctic White in Decorative Quality, or if you prefer to upgrade, select White Art in Conservation Quality.
