Signed by the Artist – This isn’t just a print; it’s a work of art personally signed by the talented Douglas Girard, giving it that extra touch of authenticity and artistic magic. Douglas Girard, born in California but raised in Africa, moved to Alaska in 1993 to find a more authentic artistic path. After studying at the Art Center College of Design under renowned artists, he realized that formal education had limited his creative expression. Drawing inspiration from old masters like the Venetians, Pre-Raphaelites and Odd Nerdrum, Girard adopted a modified Venetian technique to add depth to his work. He believes that "skill and technique must always be the slave of meaning," and views painting as a continuous journey of learning, where inner spirit and meaning are essential. Check him out online on his website.   This Alaskan masterpiece is perfect for anyone who loves the Last Frontier’s natural wonders or who wants to add a bit of adventure to their space. Don’t miss out on the chance to own a piece of Alaska’s wild beauty—grab this Matanuska Bridge print before it’s gone!   Valued at $125.00.     Donated by Visit Anchorage.
