Collector-discovered · Painter-guided
One painting.
Your way of seeing it.
Hidden Heart Studio offers a rare collector-created experience. Explore one of my original paintings and discover the exact composition that speaks to you. Send me what you see, and I will work with you personally to refine the crop, orientation, material, and scale for your space. Once approved, that exact composition is registered and permanently retired—making it your unique piece.
This is not an automated cropping service. The digital tools help you explore, but I work with you personally before anything is approved or produced. Getting to know you—and understanding what you see—is part of the experience.
This page is a working example. Ordering opens after our print tests are approved.

Why I created this experience
I collect Uniques, too.
David and I have more than 250 works in our own art collection. When we choose a Unique, we are choosing more than an image. We value the one-of-one experience, the story of the work, the relationship with the artist, and the opportunity to support the person who created it.
I want to offer you that same feeling. You discover the composition. We make the final decisions together. Then your exact view is recorded, certified as a 1/1, and retired so it will not be reproduced again at another size or on another material.
Collector-discovered. Painter-guided. Made only once.

The composition you discover
Your Original View
Choose a moment within the painting—or send me a screenshot or photo of another one you found. Together, we’ll shape the exact crop, orientation, and size.
- Composition
- Chosen by you
- Scale
- Made for your space
- Exclusivity
- Registered and retired when certified 1/1
A quick note about editions: Artist Proofs are not part of the numbered edition of five. They are separately marked proofs that I retain. A collector-created composition is different again: when it is certified as a 1/1, that exact view is registered and will not be reproduced again at any size.
Now look inside
Which piece of this painting feels like yours?
These five views are only examples. You may choose one, adjust it with me, or find something entirely different within the original.
Created for your spaceFrom an intimate personal piece to a dramatic statement work.Extremely large and architectural formats are available following an individual production review. The maximum size depends on your chosen composition, material, image quality, installation needs, and shipping destination. I will review all of it with you before anything is ordered.

How a collector-created 1/1 works
Chosen by you.
Protected as yours.
A formal 1/1 is more than choosing a size. It means the final composition itself becomes exclusive.
- 01Discover and capture it
Find the piece that stops you, then take a screenshot or photo of that exact view.
- 02Send the image and sizing
Text your image to me and share the wall size—or a photo of the space—you have in mind.
- 03Approve the final composition
Together, we’ll confirm the exact crop, orientation, material, and finished dimensions.
- 04Register and retire the view
When certified as your 1/1, its boundaries are recorded and that exact composition is not reproduced again.
You are part of the making
I hope I captured something
you would love to live with.
It might be the whole painting. It might be two inches inside it that no one else noticed. The joy is giving you the freedom to find it and make it your own.
