All works of art produced by Sharon LaCasse are copyrighted. For anyone who uses my designs by copying them you are therefore violating copyright laws. Thank you for your understanding.
Additional information: Copyright means that the only person who is allowed to copy the art I create is me, the Artist. If someone publishes, prints, reproduces my artwork without my permission, as the Artist I have the right to take them to court and sue for damages. Copyright laws are so strong that my family / legal heirs will still own the copyright on my artwork for 70 years after I die.
The copyright symbol is used by many artists as a reminder but is NOT at all necessary because the artist (in this case me) still owns the copyright.
To obtain a copyright from me, the Artist, a formal contract must be drawn up, an agreed upon sum is paid / collected and signatures are acquired on the contract. A copy of the contract is given to the buyer of the copyright for the specific piece of art and I retain the original contract/document.
Hello Sharon!
My name is Danijela. I came across your beautiful “Mystical White Heron”. I am a Reiki Practicioner who has finally found the courage to offer my services via Facebook to a wider community and was wandering about copyright issues and me using your picture as profile picture on FB as “White Heron Reiki” is the name of the site that I am in the process setting up and your picture would be perfect!!!
Hope to hear from you soon!
Kind Regards
P.S: don’t have a website yet…
Hello Sharon! It’s Danijela again.
Forgot to mention re: Mystical White Heron …. I would mention you as the artist!
Kind Regards
Danijela
Thank you! All the artwork is copyrighted and signed by me, the Artist but I’ll add something to the description.
Hello Danijela!
Thanks for visiting my website and all of my artwork. Yes, you are correct, each and every piece I create is copyrighted. Many of the paintings are commissioned by collectors, but I retain copyright unless there is a signed pre-paid agreement / contract with the person who retains the original.
This image is for sale in an 11X17 poster, 5X7 greeting card and giclee prints are available. It’s wonderful to hear that you have a Reiki practice too and I wish you all the very best with your business. Hope to hear from you about how your business is going too. I’ve been running my Art Gallery for 17 years now, creating Aura paintings now for over 25 years and it is work that I absolutely love to do. It is wonderful to be able to have a career working diligently at something you embrace and are rewarded for.
Many blessings,
Sharon LaCasse

I’ve added additional information on copyright (all of my art is copyrighted) in the description above. Let me know if you have further questions. Many blessings, Sharon LaCasse – Artist of Mystical White Heron
