Know Where Your Artwork Comes From
Is it mass-produced?
Will it fade in few years?
Will the surface warp?
Will it be non-archival materials?
Dedication To Quality
We are transparent and honest about our process and materials.
Dedication to quality comes first before a painting has even begun.
Your fine art will be cherished for generations.
Process & Materials
Original Work
I invest in high-quality paints, surfaces, panels and preservation treatments for all original work.
I rely on archival brands and materials that painters have trusted for decades including:
-Rosemary & Co. brushes handmade in England
-Ampersand Museum Series surfaces hand-crafted in the US tested to last 200+ years
-Richeson Hardbord for maximum lifespan
-Ultra-violet light stabilizer varnish to preserve pigments
When painting on wood panels, I hand-seal the hardwood surfaces and apply multiple layers of gesso (I use Golden brand Gesso, a flexible liquid ground that seals, protects, and gives "tooth" to substrates, promoting paint adhesion) sanding in between, to reach the optimal tooth and surface.
Giclée and Canvas Prints
For limited edition giclée and canvas prints, I am fully vested in the production, printing and packaging of each archival edition, working alongside fine art printing professionals with over 30 years of experience.
Our image capture system, the same as used by the National Archives, Harvard University and many other fine museums worldwide, produces hand-stretched protected canvas prints and the most advanced fine art Giclée printing.
“Giclée — pronounced “zhee-clay” — french for “that which is sprayed,” is the term commonly used for the world’s most advanced digital fine art printmaking process. This is the highest quality archival reproduction possible of the original artwork. We never place anything on the surface of work and certainly never run work through rollers. With high quality non-fading inks and acid-free papers, our prints have a life expectancy in excess of 100 years.”
