Inspiration
We all need to be inspired and our Inspiration collection aims to do just that. They are all about letting people know that they are amazing, worth it and important enough to us that we need to tell them how much they inspire us and can inspire the world.

20 Years
€29.95
Mark Twain is one of those people you'd love to have had over for dinner. He had a way with words and a way of encapsulating great wisdom in a few words. Fran, had this quote in his wallet for years but it was only when asked by a customer to do a print of it that this piece came to be. Initially the customer wanted the quote and this image but Fran felt it didn't work and drew this instead. We love it and hope you do too.Visit product page →

Be Free
€29.95
It can be hard to let kids make their own mistakes. As adults and parents we want what's best for them but at the same time we want to direct them along the right path. There lies the dilemma. What is the right path? We may have a sense of what we think it should be but that doesn't mean it's right for them. If we can encourage our young people to pursue a life that makes them happy and good people, then we have to trust they will use our support as a starting point to draw their own map.Visit product page →

Be Yourself
€29.95
The great Oscar Wilde said, 'Be yourself : everyone else is already taken'. In essence that's what this print is all about. Being yourself simply means accepting who we are and what we like, without fear of ridicule. On paper that sounds easy but it can be quite a challenge to have the self confidence to follow your heart and your instincts. There's always pressure to conform to others idea of how and what you should be but as Oscar said .... The reality is, you're perfect the way you are!Visit product page →

Boats Are Safe
€29.95
Visit product page →We live in Malahide. It's a coastal town with lots of boats. They all look lovely when they're moored but they look even more beautiful when they set out to sea. Yes, harbours are a safe haven but boats are made for sailing, for carrying us where we want to go.

Change
€29.95
Can you imagine not learning from the good and bad experiences? Can you imagine not growing as a person? Some of us may be pretty close to perfect but I can't think of anything worse than recognising something in myself that I wasn't happy with and not trying to improve. Yep, staying the same - scary!Visit product page →

Conquer It
€29.95
Life has a way of presenting challenges. We all have doubts and fears. As Oscar Wilde said, 'Experience is the hardest kind of teacher. It gives you the test first and the lesson afterwards.'Visit product page →
The funny thing about the things that scare us is that after we have chosen courage and conquered our fear the challenges don't seem half as scary looking back.
We hope this piece helps you find that courage.

Courage
€29.95
Courage is not the absence of fear but the recognition of the fear and willingness to overcome it. Another way of looking at it is that courage can't exist if fear isn't present. What gives us courage? A vision or a desire that's stronger than the fear. We hope you have the vision and that you find the courage that will give you confidence to go for it.Visit product page →

Courage Entered
€29.95
We admire the qualities of bravery and courage. Rightly so. What we sometimes forget, however, is that bravery and courage are fears bedfellow. They co-exist together. So, next time you wish you weren't afraid, change your focus and wish for courage instead. It's in there somewhere. The fear won't go but you'll achieve things you never thought possible of yourself. Go for it!Visit product page →

Deep Water
€29.95
Life has a way of throwing up trickier situations as time passes. Most of the time we are prepared as a result of previous experiences but when we're not, well that water can seem pretty deep. We hope this print helps you in your efforts to prepare and face the challenges that inevitably come our way. Here's a beautiful song by one of Fran's favourite singer songwriters, Paul Kelly. Coincidentally, it's called Deeper Water.Visit product page →

I Tried
€29.95
Failure is a funny thing. It can have a strange effect on people. For some it can evoke a 'well that's it, I'm useless' response. For others it's more of a 'Ok that didn't go so well, time to try a different approach' attitude. The latter attitude has to be more appealing. History is littered with success stories that grew out of failures. I'm sure it's also littered with stories of failure that grew out failure too so it's really a choice to pick ourselves up and go again or just give up. Thomas Edison said, 'I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that don't work.' We hope that this print serves to encourage you to keep going and restores a smile to your face.Visit product page →
