The Story Behind “Dawn Greets Block Island

For my birthday, I spent the weekend on Block Island. On the first afternoon, I scouted out this beach, thinking it just might be a good place to watch the sunrise. The next morning, I hit the streets at 4 a.m. and enjoyed a peaceful walk along the shoreline, searching for just the right spot.

The rock made for a perfect foreground. I set up my camera, cranked up my music, and stood back as Mother Nature did her beautiful work. Moments like this don’t ask for anything—just your attention. I consider myself truly blessed to witness mornings like this.

Printed as museum-quality fine art, Dawn Greets Block Island brings the quiet serenity and gentle energy of early morning coastal light into your space. Whether displayed in a home, office, or designer’s curated environment, this piece offers visual calm, emotional resonance, and a sense of gratitude for nature’s fleeting moments.

Sizing & Placement Guidance

Selecting the right size is less about measurement and more about presence.

Larger prints create an immersive, statement-making experience — ideal for expansive walls, above a sofa, or anchoring a room with quiet strength.

Smaller sizes offer a more intimate, refined presence, perfect for layered gallery walls, offices, or thoughtfully curated spaces.

Consider the scale of your wall, the viewing distance, and how much visual impact you want the piece to carry. When in doubt, sizing up often creates a more dramatic and balanced result.
