Description from Merchant:
Fine Art Prints:
My smooth fine art paper is Hahnemuehle Photo Rag, a heavy weight, smooth matte finish archival paper that is museum quality and perfect for framing. Pigmented ink ensures your artwork will remain vibrant for many years. I offer clean, archival gallery style framing in decor-friendly finishes with a choice of mat widths. If you want to handle the framing yourself, you can order your print unframed,. If you choose to frame the prints yourself, I highly recommend UV filter art glass to ensure your print will remain vibrant in any type of light.
Metal Prints:
Images are printed by infusing dyes directly onto specially coated aluminum sheets. For glossy metal, the sheets are then coated with a high gloss coating, resulting in a very crisp, saturated image. For semi-gloss, the coating is less reflective, making it a good choice for hanging in a room opposite large windows or where reflection might be an issue. Rounded corners are available, and framing is available. Two backing/hanging options are available depending on the size of the print.
Canvas Prints:
Prints on canvas are archival fine art prints. Some call this type of print a Giclée. Images are printed with pigmented ink, directly onto the high quality cotton fine art grade canvas material. The resulting prints can then be stretched and stapled onto a wood artists stretcher bar frame (gallery wrap), mounted on gatorfoam board, or delivered loose (unmounted). Canvas prints can be coated with an optional gloss lamination for extra protection and a shiny finish.
Original Artworks:
Please contact me directly to discuss archival quality of any original pieces. As a general rule, my watercolors are rated for excellent lightfastness (the ability to resist fading) and I use very high quality cotton rag watercolor paper of archival quality. However, other materials or mediums may be used in any individual piece. If that is the case, it can be extremely helpful to frame with UV filter art glass to ensure you will be able to enjoy your piece for years to come.
