Familiar illustrates the Robin sitting atop the garden wall, serving as its sentinel. The title of the piece both evokes the fast friendship Mary forms with the Robin, and the concept of a “familiar,” an animal that has a magical bond with a human, usually in reference to witches. The Robin in some ways serves as a familiar for Mary, guiding her to the garden and serving as her friend and ally.

With a strong mottled texture and warm base tone, we’ve sourced a Hahnemühle German Etching paper that creates a print with strong colors and deep blacks to give that rich, high in contrast feel. Since the pronounced texture of the paper enables it to hold more ink, this paper gives each print a handmade crafted feel.

Prints are shipped flat in a protective parchment sleeve in between two sheets of stiff cardboard to keep prints flat in transit. If the artwork is damaged in any way during shipping, please contact us right away with photographs documenting any such damages. We will seek to address the damage to customer satisfaction on a case by case basis.
