Blue Sky Woman

The Story Behind The Shot

The rainstorm was coming during this beautiful summer sunset. Bison unlike most animals walk towards the storm to get past it quicker. This beautiful female who is the same bison as “Tired Woman” posed and looked towards the storm as if she knew what she was about to face. This photo spoke to me in the moment and every time I look at it. I hear her thoughts, feel her nerves, understand her past, to then see the strength she has knowing she will face yet another storm but will get through it. In other words when I see Blue Sky Woman I see the meaning of what life is. Which to me is the greatness of photography to look at a piece of one moment and understand and feel an entire lifetime.

Product Description

The Birch Signature Series transforms your most meaningful photo into a statement piece with depth, warmth, and permanence—printed directly onto high-quality Baltic birch and finished with a deep, hand-crafted solid hardwood border. From wedding portraits to landscapes, each piece is designed to turn a favorite image into dimensional heirloom art with a richer, more substantial presence on the wall.

Real Wood. Real Species. Real Results.

Not all "real wood" prints are what they seem. Many companies use stained pine and present it as something more premium. We don't.
Each piece is crafted from true Baltic birch and finished with your choice of maple, cherry, or walnut—the actual species, with the natural grain, tone, and character that make every print unique.

True Color on Natural Grain

We use high-quality Baltic birch selected for its smooth surface, structural stability, and warm natural grain. Your image is printed directly onto the wood using our True Color Printing Technology™, delivering rich color, soft tonal transitions, and deeper shadows while preserving the texture and organic character of the wood.

The deep solid hardwood border adds presence, structure, and a more substantial gallery-style finish—giving the piece added depth on the wall and a refined, elevated presentation.

Made to display. Built to endure.

Mounting Instructions

All mounting hardware for drywall hanging is included. Follow these steps to hang your print:

1. Once you've chosen a location, level the French cleat using a level or leveling app on your phone.
2. While holding the cleat level, use a thin tool to mark the location of each hole on the drywall by inserting it in the thru-hole drilled on the cleat.
3. Remove the cleat and install each drywall screw at the marked locations. Do not loosen the screw during this process; if loosened, the print will not be secure and a new location should be used.
4. Place the cleat with the tallest edge toward you and the thru-holes aligned with the drywall screws. One by one, screw the black screws into the drywall screws until the cleat is firm and snug against the wall.
5. Hang the photo so the two cleats form a stable mate.

Note: If the print isn't perfectly level, minor adjustments can be made by placing a small, folded piece of paper on either side of the cleat that needs to come up.
