Satin Canvas has a slight sheen to its surface, making it subtle and soft. It is a preference for those who prefer images with a less contrasty appearance. I like satin over glossy because it has a more artsy look and feel.
MUSEUM QUALITY CANVAS PRINT
Canvas: We use Urth canvas, the world’s first solvent canvas with archival certification by the Fine Art Trade Guild. Manufactured by the leading canvas supplier of award-winning digital inkjet canvas, Breathing Color® uses breakthrough technology of agent-free Fluorescent Whitening and Chromata white to create a canvas free of optical brighteners while still producing canvas prints with bright whites and true vivid colors that will not fade or yellow over time. With OBA-free Urth canvas, your print can hang in direct sunlight and remain fade-resistant and as beautiful as the day it was printed. The canvas has a built-in coating, which makes it moisture and abrasion-resistant, with UV protection. The canvas is durable enough to withstand cleaning by taking a damp cloth to the surface to remove dust.
Inks: We use UltraChrome GS3 HD inks, which have a wide & rich color gamut range. The inks are sprayed upon canvas, hence the “giclee application,” with extreme detail and vibrancy, thus creating a stunningly sharp image. Tested by Wilhelm Research, these lightfast, archival inks are designed to last 100+ years.
Wood: The wood used to create the stretcher bars for your print is made from poplar trees, which are extremely strong and stable.

Source Material
The wisdom, after passing from lip to ear for several thousand years before fictitiously being originally written as "The Kybalion," then lost over the centuries, "The Kybalion" was essentially rewritten in 1908 by an American new-thought and occultist author named William Walker Atkinson, penned as Three Initiates. The principles described are attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, the mythical reincarnation of the ancient Egyptian god Thoth, venerated as three times greater than the Greek god Hermes, contemporary of Abraham, founder of astrology, and discoverer of alchemy (the psychological art of turning thoughts and emotions into spiritual gold).
Just as the word "occult" accurately means hidden, referring to esoteric spiritual knowledge, so to does the word "hermetic" mean hidden, referring to the protective containment of such higher wisdom from persecution, abuse, and dogma. "The lips of wisdom are closed except to the ears of understanding." Likewise, "When the ears of the student are ready to hear, then cometh the lips to fill them with wisdom" The Kybalion. These principles are the master keys to unlocking the Universe's secrets and many occult teachings.
These principles were first written down by the scribes of Alexander when the Greeks conquered Egypt in 332 BCE. Over a thousand years later, those writings resurfaced in the late Medieval and early Renaissance periods throughout Europe and the Middle East. They became the source material of gnostic works called "The Corpus Hermeticum" and "The Emerald Tablet of Hermes, " which, though more poetically abstract, were said to have inspired the creation of "The Kybalion."
The Principle of Gender
Gender is in everything. Everything has its masculine and feminine, yin and yang, inward and outward, active and passive forces. Gender manifests on all planes.
Masculine and Feminine Attributes Exist in Everything
Everyone has both masculine (active, logical) and feminine (receptive, intuitive) qualities.
These forces work best when balanced but can also be intentionally polarized for different strengths.
Masculine and Feminine in the Mind
Left brain (masculine) → Logic, intellect, analysis, action.
Right brain (feminine) → Intuition, creativity, emotions, wholeness.
Thoughts are masculine (electric), emotions are feminine (magnetic)—what you think about (masculine) draws experiences to you (feminine).
Meditation helps synchronize both sides of the brain, allowing balanced, holistic thinking.
Mental states of thought and emotion, along with one's personal preferences and characteristics of personality, are the feminine aspects of the mind.
The subjective mind.
Which we may call the "Me."
The masculine aspect of the mind is the objective mind,
The Will of one's intent and focus, and the conscious Witness of one's perceived experiences.
Which we may call the "I."
The Balance of Strength and Compassion
Masculine and feminine principles create two pillars of enlightenment:
Feminine = Nonaggression (be peaceful).
Masculine = Self-defense (stand your ground).
In other words: Do no harm, but take no shit.
Understanding Masculine and Feminine Energies
Everyone has a unique balance of these energies, often influenced by family and culture.
The key is to embrace the strengths of both while avoiding their wounded/shadow sides.
Traits of Divine Masculinity
Positive (Divine): Action, strength, focus, leadership, clarity, transformation, endurance, growth, responsibility.
Negative (Wounded): Aggression, control, dominance, ego-driven competition, toxic patriarchy.
Traits of Divine Femininity
Positive (Divine): Creation, healing, intuition, nurturing, love, wisdom, harmony, compassion, forgiveness.
Negative (Wounded): Manipulation, emotional control, emasculation of men.
Final Thought
True power comes from balancing both masculine and feminine energies. When you integrate the strengths of both, you become whole, more self-aware, and in harmony with life. Furthermore, the more one can balance them as necessary and polarize to one desired side; the more one can invite romantic relationships of the opposite polarity.
Spiritually Modern Collage Artist and Mindset Coach, arthur-BRADford KLEMMER recently compiled over a hundred words describing the divine and wounded aspects of each gender in his current art portfolio and educational video series, in progress titled "Awaken the Divine Within."
