"You Knocked" Limited Edition Fine Art Print

Painted/named from the song "Doors" by Noah Kahan.

I had a vision of this image in my head for a few years, but was honestly too afraid of failure to even attempt it. It's probably a good thing I waited though, because when one of my favorite artists, Noah Kahan, released his newest album and I heard a particular song, this image popped back into my head.

I knew it was time to paint it, no matter how fearful of failure I was. The technicality of this painting was far beyond anything I've ever attempted, so I was only fractionally-confident I could even pull it off.

This painting/print is for those who unfortunately know the struggle of mental and/or chronic illness, and have been lucky enough to have a friend/partner/spouse/family member choose them- again and again. For those days when you feel like a “waste of a human” (as I’ve described myself many times to my supportive, incredible husband) and a reminder that those support systems knocked anyway, knowing the shame, guilt, trauma and storm that lies behind, because they care and think we’re worth it.

They saw the water on the floor, heard the crashing waves, and opened anyway.

You are not a waste of space. You may have been dealt a shitty hand…
You may not have gotten to choose the foundation or walls in which your life was built…
Your life matters just the same.
You are here for a reason.
May love keep you safe.

DETAILS

-Limited edition of only 50 prints.

-Signed and numbered by the artist, Kayla DeVito. Comes with a card of authenticity.

-Printed in the USA using the highest museum quality thick, archival, lightly textured fine art paper.

-To ensure no part of the painting is cut off, sizes will not be standard framing sizes, and will instead be sized upon the exact ratio of the original.

-The size choice is the print size. Each has an additional 1/2 inch border allowance for the perfect matting.

-Colors and exposure may vary from monitor to monitor. These prints have been tested and edited and reprinted numerous times each to get the exact coloring, from screen to physical item. Please know that each print will align as closely to the original painting as we could physically manage, no matter the difference in monitors.

OPTIONAL MATTING

To save time (and money), you can choose to have your print matted before delivery. Our mat windows are completely custom-sized for each print, and the outer frame dimensions are cut for a standard frame size. This means that you will not need to have your print professionally framed if you don't want to! You can absolutely do it yourself by purchasing any standard sized frame with the dimensions given. These frames are commercially available at most home goods stores, pre-made at frame shops and found readily available in numerous online shops.

We have chosen the matting color(s) that best compliment each print. Please see photos on this listing for your choice.

Mat Color Options:

•Off White

•Raven
