Limited Edition Prints by Deanne Fitzpatrick

Prints of Deanne's Hooked Rugs


The images for these prints were chosen from rugs I created . Each print is signed, titled and numbered, and issued in limited editions of . The colour, and clarity of the images are clear and crisp, and matched to the original hooked rug. When studio visitors see them they often think they are miniature hooked rugs under glass because the detail and texture are captured so purely. When we went to the printers to proof the colour, I was really pleased when the pressman asked me what kind of painting technique I used to get the textured effect. I decided to make the prints so that my images could be more accessible, and enjoyed by more people. A hooked rug takes a long time, and a lot of hand work to make. These prints are  an affordable way for many people to enjoy my images in their home. Each print is 8 by 10 inches, and matted to fit an 11 by 14 inch frame. 11 by 14" frames are a standard size frame that can be purchased at all retailers that sell frames. When you order two prints we will sell them to you for $50, instead of $59.90. The online shopping cart will not show the discount but we will adjust it on your visa or mc.

To order use our online shopping cart call us at 1-800-328-7756.
