The Story Behind

Image size: 12"x12", Paper size: 15"X15.75", Framed: 20"X20"

This print is a part of the series, "Lessons Learned from Six-year Olds". Each piece is hand-printed by the artist. 50% from the sale of this print is donated to mental health.

As I was creating this series, I observed many six year olds. I was amazed to see how charming and simply adorable they are! They are very simplistic and straight forward. They say things as they see them without sugar coating anything.

I started listing their qualities. It didn't take long to fill the page. Result is the print "Being Six Is..."

There are six balloons in the image. Children love balloons. The balloons delight the children and put a smile on their faces. They give an uplifting message. When filled with air, they rise up. Balloons are light and float in the air, which symbolizes flexibility and exploration. They rise up, which symbolizes hope and continuously striving to do better.

This is true, not just in the context of children. Even for adults there is a message of being open-minded (exploring), continuously observing, learning, and improving our knowledge and skills as we seek to excel in our chosen areas.

50% from the sale of this print is donated to Atlantic Wellness Community Centre.

Knowing where one wants to go, setting the goal and focusing on it are important in order to succeed. If one can eliminate distractions and stay focused on a single goal, success is not hard to attain. Sometimes it takes a young six-year old to remind us of this. It is based on a true story.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
