Artist's Statement
‘The Necessary Art Of Noticing’ tells a floral language adrift from traditional forms of flourishing bouquets or arrangements. 12 magnified photographic fine art prints have been captured in 4 chapters.
An experimental exercise in observation, an inception for finding inspiration within an isolated environment. They are a touchpoint for a relatable and connective experience shared by so many of us across the globe.
An alchemy of floral bouquets are suspended in animation. Fractured remains of decaying flora leave their remnants in residence, presenting themselves like line drawings or etchings between abstractly nuanced painted surfaces.
Plants prepare, adapt and perform extraordinary acts of metamorphosis to get them through the seasons. This is where I wanted to centre my thoughts, energy and creative expression during our solitary lockdown. To be hopeful that such transformations could come from our own shared human experiences of this time. And we too, could adapt ourselves toward a world of nurture and balance, rather than greed and disregard.
Each piece has been created to provide a visual respite, a place to pause, hold space and reflect. To be a metaphor for deep hope, that our society can learn to slow down and preserve life (and not as we knew it) on our beautiful planet.

How Are My Prints Received?
All UNFRAMED Fine art prints are carefully packaged in a rigid cylinder / tube. All Limited Edition prints include a signed and numbered Certificate of Authenticity. I advise you to take LARGER prints directly to your framer, where they can carefully (with white gloves) unpackage the print and discuss framing with you.
UNFRAMED prints come with a ½ inch white border around the outside of the image. This is specifically for handling purposes, and is NOT part of the artwork. Please advise your framer to trim the print to the image, before framing your piece.

You should inquire with your local customs agency for more information and assistance in this area. Returns will not be accepted due to customs fees.

Return Policy
By purchasing an Anna Church limited edition print you are committing to a conscious decision to purchase not just a print but a fine art print that will be individually printed on demand, personally hand signed, edition numbers and quality checked by the printer + artist. There is no stock kept or stored by the artists to ensure individuality and the protection of edition numbers. We ask that you take the time to carefully make your decision as limited edition prints can only be returned or exchanged if damaged in transit, as the printing + shipping costs cannot be recovered.
How To Frame Your Art
Framing is not just a means of preserving your artwork; it’s an essential extension of its presentation. I place great importance on helping my collectors understand how crucial quality framing is for both the aesthetic appeal and the longevity of your investment. High-quality framing ensures that your art remains protected and looks stunning for years to come.
In addition to using the best fine art print ink technology, I recommend the following custom frames for this piece (download PDF / watch video). I've carefully selected the ideal molding material, wood type (color), profile proportions, and glazing options to complement your art. It’s also important to consider the environment where your art will be displayed (e.g., specialty sealing may be necessary for humid spaces like bathrooms).
Choosing a specific frame for each collection not only enhances the beauty of my pieces in your living spaces but also ensures their durability and the longevity of your enjoyment.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I'm here to support you in this final step of the process. You can find more answers to your framing questions on my blog.
