"BENZAITEN or Benten Goddess of Music, Poetry, Learning, Art Goddess of the Sea, Protector of Children" Oh, how to introduce this next character in my life? She herself has chosen her fictitious name and I am eternally grateful because it suits her so perfectly! Goddess of Music, Poetry, Learning, Art: When I met Benzaiten (could it be 12 years ago?), I was immediately immersed in the wonderful world of her music...to say that she loves music is an understatement of the utmost proportions: she does not just love it, she lives it. She has introduced me to countless artists, zillions of songs..I have sat in her living room just feet away from such amazing performers that I had to pinch myself to ensure that it was not a dream! She has opened doors and windows and worlds to me, not just musically but through literature as well. Over the years we have spent hours in libraries and book sales, traded novels and book reviews, finding renewed passion in the written word through each other. She has enriched my life in so many ways, art being just one of them. Goddess of the Sea: oh, yes, she is indeed a lover of the sea! I believe she is most comfortable wearing her bathing suit & colorful pareo, collecting seashells down her favorite beach..basking in the glow of the summer sunset. Protector of Children: Not only was she a preschool teacher for years, my Benzaiten has a lovely way with all children..with her dangly earrings, flowy dresses, armfuls of shiny bracelets, she attracts them one and all. They are drawn to her beautiful face and the soft warm glow shining from her...I myself have sought comfort in those strong arms on several occasions, allowing the tears to flow, knowing that she would somehow take care of things, that everything would be ok, one way or another. She is an imposing force, my friend, and I have seen miracles happen around her. I truly don't know what else to say about this amazing lady. Even though sometimes months pass without physical contact, we are still deeply connected, our friendship sits quietly and waits for us. Our children say that they cannot disassemble their childhood memories from each other, that our families are so entwined that we are a part of each other's histories. That to me is a beautiful testament to our friendship, and to this incredible lady..my dear friend..thank you, Benzaiten, for being there. I look forward to many more years of laughter, music, good books and chilled wine. I love you.

Hiroshige, Benten ShrineAside from our rolled canvases, your 100% Australian Made artwork will arrive to you ready to hang on your wall, each canvas features strong wire on the back. Our acrylic prints are ready to hang using the cutouts on the back of the print and can be hung in up to 4 orientations – great for abstract prints!Stretched Canvas Wall ArtPrinted using the giclée art method using state of the art latex print technology, our stretched canvas wall art is fade and scratch resistant, as we use archival inks that can last up to 80 years (provided you keep your artwork out of direct sunlight).Our stretcher bars feature a 36mm thick frame and are made from strong woodcraft materials that keep the shape of the product for years, and their edges are beveled to ensure there is no ghosting. Further, the canvas that we use for our wall art is 100% thick bright white polyester to make every image the sharpest and brightest it can be. As our frames and canvas material we use is water-resistant, you can also place this art piece in wet areas of the house such as your kitchen, bathroom, and undercover patio (provided it’s out of direct sunlight).Canvas Wall Art with Floating Frame AdditionIn addition, you can choose to have a floating frame added to your wall art. Our floating frames are available in 4 colour options that are exclusively made by us!The composite timber look frame adds a high-end finish to your canvas print and measures 15mm wide and 50mm deep and floats freely around the wall art. This leaves a 5mm gap between the artwork and the frame, allowing the art piece to be displayed beautifully and professionally. The floating frame really gives the piece an added ‘wow’ factor!Rolled Canvas Wall Art (unmounted)You can also enjoy the same benefits described above for our rolled canvas wall art. If you order the wall art in this style, we'll deliver it to you carefully by wrapping the product in a tube package. This is to ensure that your art piece is safe to be shipped locally and internationally.To allow more room for stretching, each artwork is printed with an additional 45mm of the mirrored image, as well as 25mm of the white border to be wrapped around the stretcher-bar. From there, it’s up to you if you wish to get your canvas print framed by a local framer or simply on the wall as it is.Acrylic Glass Wall Art PrintsLastly, our beautiful made to order acrylic glass prints use the same state-of-the-art latex print technology that can last up to 80 years. These sleek and lightweight pieces are ready to hang on your wall as soon as they arrive. Your chosen artwork is printed onto the back of the optically clear acrylic to allow light to refract, giving your artwork incredible depth and colour dimensions. You have a few options with our acrylic prints – either have it frameless for a modern, sleek feel or opt for a composite timber look frame that comes in 4 colours.Additionally, you can choose to have the artwork printed edge-to-edge or with a white border around it. The border prints have a shadow line around the artwork, which gives the impression your artwork is mounted on a mat board.

My ideas for Silvertone Bar + Cocktail Lounge was birthed in a very similar way as Arie + Ellis’s brand - with a ‘what if’ question: what if someone came to me with a plan for a cocktail bar and free reign on the branding? I mean, that would be pretty dang fun. So I took that spark of a design c
