About This Image

I’ve been to Avebury circle, as seen in this print, twice. And I would happily go again and again. It’s truly a magical piece of British landscape. And historic to boot. We may never entirely understand the culture that produced the Neolithic monuments in Wiltshire and across Britain, but when you stand where they were built… Well, the place just feels special and it seems to make perfect sense why ancient monuments were built where they were.

Of course, the landscape at Avebury Circle has been greatly altered by the people who built here. What you’re seeing in this print is part of the great circular bank that forms the outer circle at Avebury. When Avebury was built, they didn’t just erect standing stones, they dug a vast ditch and bank that encircles the special site. The ditch and bank comprise one of the largest Neolithic sites in Europe. When you’re standing atop that sacred landscape, you’re truly standing on features the ancient Britons built.

This print, though is as much about a feeling as the place. As the group I traveled with was climbing the bank to walk around it, I glanced up at those beautiful British skies coupled with that great green hill. It felt… inspirational is the only word I can think of. It was as if I was looking at the wide open future, limitless, boundless. And it made me wonder what this place might have symbolized. Was it built to see the boundless skies above ancient England? Mere speculation of course, but It felt truly magical as I watched the people ahead of me fan out across that bank, disappearing into the distance in that beautiful British landscape. I had to hang back to capture this view.

And this is still a print that inspires me as much for the location as for the feeling it gives me. Does this Avebury Circle print give you that same sense of limitless possibility? I’d love to hear what strikes you most about this scene from the monuments of a long lost people.

Note: Avebury Circle and other ancient monuments of Wiltshire are part of a UNESCO designated World Heritage Site.

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
