Frederick Douglass – Perhonen

Hung this above my desk and the wing detail pulls me in every time I look up. The canvas has a nice sturdy feel and the message about transformation lands without being cheesy. It's the first piece of art I've bought that actually makes me stop and think.

The colors on this butterfly piece are way more vivid in person than I expected, and the canvas itself feels sturdy with a nice tight stretch. It's hanging in my home office now and the Douglass quote underneath gives it real weight.

The canvas print quality is sharp and the colors haven't faded at all since I hung it near a sunny window. The butterfly over Douglass's portrait makes the whole piece feel like it's about change, which is exactly why I bought it.
