Wall Hanger Color

Our minimalist wooden hangers are made with four magnetic wooden dowels, two that clamp to the top of your print and two that clamp to the bottom to give a vintage look and feel. The poster is made with heavier-weight white matte paper that has a natural, smooth uncoated finish that feels luxurious to the touch.

While the poster and hangers are packed separately in one box, final assembly is required. Don’t worry; it's a snap to put them together!


Features: 

  • The hangers are made from pine and come in natural wood, white, black or dark wood.
  • The cotton rope attached at the top matches the hanger color. 
  • Designed magnetically, the hangers do not damage the poster and also makes it easy to switch prints, making it a versatile and durable option.
  • The 200 gsm / 80 lb paper weight makes it durable and long-lasting.
  • FSC-certified paper and hangers or equivalent certifications, depending on regional availability. It’s better for the people and the planet.
  • Each poster and hanger is shipped in robust packaging, ensuring it arrives in pristine condition.
  • Paper sizes may vary slightly by region. For the US and Canada, the measurement is in inches, while for the rest of the world, it is in centimeters.


ABOUT THE PAINTING PRINT ON THE CALENDAR:


Bona Fortuna, acrylic on canvas, 1 x 3 FT.


From Latin, this phrase literally translates to “good luck”. I have carried it with me from high school when my Latin teacher would say it in a sing song manner while passing out weekly quizzes. Luck meant something different then and I find it an ever changing concept even now.


Luck, for me, is best defined with quotes these days, like Samuel Goldwyn saying, “The harder I work, the luckier I get.” or the Seneca attribution of “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” I guess it boils down to believing that we create our own luck. But, can that be the only reason such an idea is so important that it’s given a name, throughout history and cultures across oceans?

As I was finishing this piece, it was already sold and became a bit of a commission. I thought of this person, her family coin collectors and coins historically becoming talismans for luck. I looked up other talismans. What made those things bear significance, was it hope for or intention within? I imagined myself imbuing this piece with luck, through strokes of my paintbrush. I cannot say whether this piece will bring this person luck but I can say that I feel blessed that she had such immediate connection to this piece. I hope this blessing she gave follows her through this canvas and the lifetime they will now share. How lucky are we both?
