Porch in Bloom Print

from $125.00

Mixed media collage and painting

Porch in Bloom was made in the months after the birth of my first son, during a time when my world felt both newly expansive and very small. I needed to build a quiet place to step into mentally, and the porch became that threshold—the furthest edge of the world I could reach, where interior life and the outdoors briefly meet.

The piece is constructed from fabric and paper sourced from interior designer friends, woven together with paint to create a sense of cohesion and calm. Loosely guided by a rough sketch, the composition unfolded intuitively, setting the tone for my first mixed media series. It holds a feeling of stillness and growth at once—a space shaped by limitation, care, and the desire for beauty close at hand.

Prints are produced to order on Hahnemühle Photo Rag, a heavyweight, archival fine-art paper with a soft matte finish.

Each print includes a 2" white border, allowing the work to breathe and making it easy to frame. While my original works are layered and tactile, these prints focus on color, pattern, and composition — designed to translate beautifully into interiors.

Printed using archival inks for long-term color stability.

Available unframed or framed.

Unframed Prints

Unframed prints are shipped flat or rolled (depending on size) and arrive ready for framing.

  • Hahnemühle Photo Rag, 308 gsm

  • 2" white border on all sides

Unframed prints are ideal for collectors who prefer to source framing locally or integrate work into existing frame packages.

Framed Prints

Framed prints are professionally finished and arrive ready to hang.

All framed works include:

  • A warm white mat

  • UV-protective acrylic glazing

  • A solid wood beaded frame (in black or gold)

This framing was chosen to complement traditional and layered interiors, allowing the artwork to feel finished without overpowering the composition.

About the Frame

The beaded wood frame offers a classic, decorative profile that pairs well with patterned spaces, collected interiors, and Southern-influenced design styles. It adds presence on the wall while remaining versatile enough to work across a range of palettes and rooms. Framing is intentionally curated to keep decisions simple and cohesive for designers and collectors but please contact zelda@zeldaspeightjohnart.com if you have specific framing needs. I’ll do my best to accommodate!
