"Wings of Hope" - fine art print
“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." Isaiah 43: 18-19

Butterflies have been a theme for me in the past couple of years and still continue! This painting was requested and created as a commission for the Pregnancy Care Centre in our town. I was honored to create this beautiful reminder of hope and the process of of becoming something new.
No doubt we’ve all been mesmerized by the beauty and grace of a butterfly at some point in our life. Delicate colourful wings fluttering, as if dancing with the wind. These beautiful and magnificent creatures are one species that possess the most powerful transformational story we can all learn from.
I believe God’s creation speaks messages into our lives all the time. If we pause to soak in the seemingly small details of His hand all around us, we will find hope and inspiration in these masterpieces. I find this is the case with the butterfly.
The butterfly is one of the most profound symbols of hope, life, change and transformation that we can see and admire. It’s journey from a humble ground crawling caterpillar to a beautiful soaring winged butterfly, carries powerful meaning that speaks to our own capacity to move through life’s challenges and cycles that can mirror our own journey of renewal, expansion and rebirth. Shedding the old nature to become something new.
This piece of art depicting ten unique butterflies soaring on the wind, is a declaration of the hope, much like the Cochrane Pregnancy Care Centre contributes in this community by helping families. Ten is a symbol of perfect completion. Like the perfect process of a butterfly developing its wings to fly, we all have hope in our individual journey of transformation, but can also contribute to helping others in theirs. We are all made uniquely, like each tiny detail of a butterfly wing, and our individual stories inspire others to keep hope alive as we journey together, no matter the circumstance. Let’s help one another in the process of developing wings to fly, like a beautiful army of butterflies! Leaving behind the old and transforming into the new.

PRINTED TO ORDER - Please allow our local printer to do a fabulous job printing your artwork. Processing time is dependent on the amount of prints on order in production (usually allow around 2 weeks).
Mindi’s fine art canvas prints are reproductions of her original paintings printed on artist-quality canvas. Sizes vary by artwork, from smaller pieces to larger statement sizes. Unless the product option specifically says Stretched Canvas Print, canvas prints are shipped unstretched.
Unstretched canvas prints can be framed, mounted, or professionally stretched by your local framer. Because each artwork has its own proportions, available sizes vary; order from the size and format shown on the individual product page.
Need help choosing a size or format? Contact Mindi Oaten Art or visit the Frequently Asked Questions.
A Stretched Canvas Print is a fine art canvas print stretched over an internal support frame, creating a ready-to-display presentation without first visiting a framer. It can be hung as-is or placed inside a decorative outer frame.
Stretched canvas sizes vary by artwork. If the size you need is not listed, contact the studio to ask whether a custom stretched size is available.
Mindi Oaten Art may be able to create an approved custom fine art canvas print in a size not listed on the product page. Custom print orders are quoted individually based on the artwork, final dimensions, proportions, and finishing requirements.
Custom sizes must respect the proportions of the original painting, and some dimensions may require cropping. The studio will confirm what works visually before the order is finalized.
For a custom print size, contact Mindi Oaten Art. For an entirely new original artwork, visit the Custom Painting & Commission page. You can also review the FAQ.
Original paintings on canvas are one-of-a-kind works created by Mindi. Many are acrylic on canvas; the exact medium and dimensions are listed on each product page. Purchasing an original means purchasing the physical original artwork, not a reproduction.
Display original canvas paintings indoors in a stable environment, away from prolonged direct sunlight, fireplaces, heating vents, bathrooms, and major humidity or temperature changes. Dust gently with a clean, soft, dry cloth or artist’s brush; never use water, sprays, solvents, or household cleaners on the painted surface.
Framing varies by piece. Some paintings can be displayed unframed, while others may suit a floating or traditional frame. Unless the listing says otherwise, framing is not included. Browse available Original Paintings or contact the studio with a framing or care question.
Some original works on paper include watercolour and other paper-based pieces; the exact medium is identified on the product page. For long-term preservation, frame them behind glass or acrylic using archival, acid-free matting and backing, with UV-protective glazing when possible.
Keep paper originals away from direct sunlight and high humidity, and do not let the painted surface touch standard glass directly; use a mat or spacer for separation.
For framing advice, contact Mindi Oaten Art. Additional ordering information is available in the FAQ.
Displaying: keep artwork indoors and away from prolonged direct sunlight, excessive moisture, smoke, and rapid temperature changes.
Handling: use clean, dry hands and hold prints or originals by the edges whenever possible. Support larger pieces evenly with two hands.
Cleaning: use only a soft, dry cloth or clean artist’s brush. Do not apply water, glass cleaner, oils, sprays, or household cleaners directly to printed or painted surfaces.
Framing: archival, acid-free materials and UV-protective glazing are recommended for works on paper and can also help protect fine art prints. Canvas works should be framed or stretched appropriately for the specific piece.
For a specific artwork, custom size, framing choice, or care concern, contact Mindi Oaten Art. You can also visit the Frequently Asked Questions or learn about commissioning a custom painting.
