I'm doing a series on my San Miguel Collection prints and am collaborating with interior stylist Mylene Raspado. I'm hoping to make it easier for you to picture these fine art photographs in your home. 

The first feature is the VINE taken in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Mexico is a biologically diverse country. San Miguel is on a plateau near the Lerma River giving it beautiful vegetation that grows freely along many of the town's buildings.

A new year means putting your holiday decor away and bringing a fresh look to your home. I like to start with one space at a time. This print would be perfect in a living room.

A living room is a space where you spend time with company enjoying a glass of wine after a good meal, or where you can curl up on the couch with a good book. A print like this can add fresh fresh pop of color to your room, allowing you to feel energized and inspired. Especially during these winter months, the promise of spring and new growth is always welcome.

I love how you can use the pink in this print as the base color and work to add lighter tones or even darker tones to pull a room together.

If you're looking to start in a smaller space, another place this print could add a sense of invitation, is the entryway. I'm planning to re-do our entryway this year and I'm looking for ways to add a warmth to the environment as I invite people in. 

If you have more neutral subtle decor already, this print can be used as the main pop of color in your space. This will easily invite attention to the art piece adding happiness and warmth to your space.

Have you been staring at that blank wall for far too long in your home? Maybe it's that wall in your entryway, but you've been waiting for the perfect piece to greet your visitors. Or what about that little corner of your office that you just haven't gotten around to filling.

Well I want to help.

I pour my heart and soul into every framed print I send out. Not only do I travel to Mexico to take the pictures in each collection, but I then come back and frame each one myself.

Here is how I put them all together.

First of all, I work with a local printer to bring you a high quality photo print. There's a lot of vibrancy in my photos and I want to make sure the paper and the ink are just right to make the images look their best; as if you're looking right at the moment I captured through a window.

Then I get to work framing it. 

There are several steps to putting it all together. I use a drill to make all the holes I'll need. Then I lay down the acrylic, place the mat in, insert the print exactly centered, cover all layers with a white board, and finally, put the spacers in to secure it all. We want the print to be snug. 

To finish the frame, I cover the whole thing with dust cover Kraft paper.

I then install the hardware you'll need to hang your piece. I choose to use a wire hanger because it's easier for you to make sure your frame is straight when you hang it.

I'm a one-woman show, but I'm really loving being able to be part of each piece of the production. It makes my perfectionist heart happy. 

Have you checked out the first collection from San Miguel Mexico? You might just find that piece you've been waiting for. And I assure you that it will be put together and sent to you with gratitude and love.
