I watched her fight hard day after day, and I saw that sometimes fighting courageously looks like laying in bed all day and getting a meal down. Sometimes fighting looks like going to the next appointment or shaving your head. Sometimes it looks like hearing the discouraging facts but clinging more tightly to the destiny for your life. Sometimes fighting hard looks like waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, and waiting. And trusting... in your team's desire to fight for you, in your family and friend's relentless love and prayers for you, in your body's tenacity to not give up on you, and in God's belief in you and his ability to comfort you in this deepest valley.
Below is a little note of encouragement from my friend, Shannon, the model in the picture who inspired the image.
Dear Warrior-
You are facing a battle you wouldn’t have chosen. No one else will be able to fully understand how costly this season is on every level. When people offer to help or come alongside, let them. There are things you can’t choose, but you can choose kindness and grace in your responses. Some days will be minute-by-minute. Remind yourself, “This is not forever.” Laugh as much as possible. Find things that bring you joy and do them. Set your mind to win and you will see beautiful things. Those of us who have won are cheering you on. In the fight and in the rest, you are not alone.~ Shannon

For every print sold, Fightsong Studio gifts an Open Edition print to a human trafficking survivor. At Checkout, you can add a personalized note to inspire hope and healing towards this brave woman. Learn more.
This is not available with the Open Edition or the Limited Edition versions. Sorry! An easy fix is to get a custom mat that will fit nicely into your frame. You can crop with mats too, just trim the print down as needed.
On certain prints and sizes, I would be happy to create black and white print for you. (They really look gorgeous that way. I don’t post them on my site because most people opt for color.) If you are a “black and white” person, email me and I will see what I have in stock or what I can customize for you. As far as tweaking the full color images, that is not available. My prints stay as originally designed.
Though I trust you wouldn’t dream of sharing or selling it, I don't offer digital downloads of my art for personal use. I do sell image licenses for commercial projects. If that is you, email me for details.
All international orders will ship USPS Priority International. Estimated shipping time is about 6-10 business days, but it's not guaranteed. The Priority International service will track your order throughout its whole route.
The Buyer is fully responsible for any and all additional fees or taxes their respective country may charge upon import.
Unfortunately, once I take a package to a mail carrier it is no longer under my control. If it has been two weeks, and you still haven't received your print it could be that it is being held up in customs. Sometimes, rarely but it does happen, international orders can take up to 4 weeks, even if it's being shipped to Canada or Mexico. If it's been more than 4 weeks since you've received the shipping notification, please email me.
Yes, I will do my best to make sure it arrives on time. Email me before you order so we can make the best plan. There are a couple of things to keep in mind: (1) Please confirm with your hotel that they can receive packages for their guests. (2) Please email me 3 weeks prior to your departure date so that we can coordinate. (3) Please include your arrival and departure dates, as well as the name and address of the hotel.
Unfortunately, that can happen even with the protected packaging. I will send you a replacement. But first, please email me right away with pictures of the damaged packaging and injured print so I can immediately contact the shipping carrier and file a claim. Without these, I cannot process the replacement.
Fantastic! These kinds of ideas are a lot of fun and because it is a unique experience no one will forget! Let’s try to make this happen for you. Contact me and we can sort out details.

First of all, great idea! Second of all, absolutely we can help you with this incredible gift! Bulk orders start in quantities as low as 10. Email me with helpful information about your event and image needs (quantity, timing, sizes, etc). Those factors will help us quickly come up with a final estimate and a plan.
B.A.G.A. – Buy Art, Give Art.
With each print you purchase, we will gift a print to a girl recovering from the abuse of human-trafficking. Physically, physiologically and spiritually she was violated in the worst ways. We want to give her this token of hope and restoration, something to set her eyes as she processes her pain and walks out her healing to fully becoming who she is made to be.
Our partner organizations work with caring for, counseling, and equipping these brave ones who have come out of their nightmare. We will pick the appropriate image for her healing journey.
Collections: All Prints, New Releases, Open Editions

I'd love to make buying art online as easy and clear for you. Please let me know if you have any questions.
