This 8x16 inch work on canvas panel ( will need a frame ) , is varnished with a crystal clear gloss to protect the work and awarded with a certificate of authenticity. 

It is a part of Freitas’ body positivity collection where she connections with her followers to submit their stories and photos of themselves to bring more awareness to body positivity in hopes of inspiring everyone to love themselves. 

Here is what @amb569 had to say

“ I think I owe my picture some more back story. I think this is also why this line resonates with me. I have struggled with my body image and disordered eating ever since I was young. I remember in elementary school not wanting to set my legs all the way down on the chair because the guy next to me would see how big they were. My high school coach would recommend her weight loss tea to me before practice. I got into some unhealthy and vicious cycles, which as you’d expect, never work. Only to leave you more disappointed and ashamed.

Over the past couple years I have grown to love my body and what it can do. I have done my best to let go of judgement, societal pressures, and envy. I’m definitely not perfect but I’m getting there. This video was a time where I wasn’t worried about how I looked or what was hanging out. I was getting down to the rhythm and having fun. Turn off societal lights and you’ll glow! 🤣 if you are waiting, sing, this is it! “

Fine art one of the most treasured assets you can own. Good care will guarantee they remain invaluable and special for you and for future generations to come.

In order to maintain the beauty of your fine art for many years, and potentially increase their value over time, this guide will help you to care for your fine art.

For original art and prints - To properly display and preserve your artwork consider the following tips:

•Display in areas away from extreme temperature.

    •Humidity can also affect the artwork. Fine art should be kept around relative humidity 40%-45. If the humidity is too high mold can develop in front and back of the painting. Consider a dehumidifier. 

    •Dust on a regular basis with a DRY soft cloth. Do not apply cleaning products, this can cause irreparable damage.

     •Keep away from direct sunlight. Sunlight is very high in radiation (UV) which will cause the work of art to fade or could increase yellowing of varnish. Indirect light is best. 

     •Avoid positioning lights too close to the paintings or directly above it. The best type of light for your painting is indirect sunlight, recessed lighting, or halogen lights (not ultraviolet).

   •Keep away from smoke. Close proximity to candles, fireplaces or even a cigarette can deposit nicotine and soot onto the surface of the painting.

   Consider insuring your artwork against theft and accidental damage. In the case that accidental damage has occurred or due to poor placement feel free to email heatherfreitasart@gmail.com for a quote on repair costs. We try and make these super affordable for all.
