How should I care for my original painting?

For proper care and longevity of all original artwork, it is recommended that the artwork stay out of direct sunlight, display them under UV protective glass and keep them in a low humidity environment and away from heat. This is recommended even for acrylic paintings. Over time acrylic paintings can gather dust that may embed itself into the artwork. Keeping it in a dust free environment (i.e. framed behind UV glass) should help keep the dust off of the painting. UV protective glass is recommended because over time some paint pigments may fade in direct sunlight. When using mat board, it is recommended to use archival quality mats for original artworks.

What can you tell me about your prints and their quality? How do I care for them?

Prints are printed with a professional quality giclee style printer using archival pigmented inks. This printer makes ultra fine dots of ink which creates a superior high quality fine art print with absolutely no apparent lines. These pigmented inks are extremely light fast and with proper care will resist any noticeable fading for many many years (between 60 to 100 years depending upon the paper used according to the manufacturer.) Prints are done on heavyweight matte paper (open edition) or 100% rag archival paper (limited edition prints). I scan and do all the post work on the art myself, so you can be assured the colors and quality are that of the original painting.

Are your prints truly limited when you sell a limited edition? Will you re-release them?

Limited Edition runs are truly limited. This is a double edged sword because while a small edition raises the value and makes it more collectable due to it being a more rare item, the other side is that when they are sold out you will not be able to purchase it ever again in a printed edition (open or limited). When the limited edition sells out, the master digital file will not be destroyed so that the image can be used for other purposes such as licensing (for example: greeting cards, bookmarks, calendars, postcards, books etc) but they will never be released again as a print edition.
