1. Matted & Mounted Paper Prints

I do all my own printing, matting, mounting, and framing.  This allows creative control over the full process of capture to finished artwork.

Prints are created using archival, pigment-based ink printed onto high-quality, archival paper that does not use optical brightening agents.

All matting and mounting materials are archival (acid-free mats, tape, etc.); even the ink used to sign is acid-free and archival.

 

2. Dye-Infused Metal Prints

The dye-infused metal prints are made to my specification by a specialty printing company who has invented a new process of photo printing.  I proof and approve all prints before a final product is produced.

The process used is similar to dye-transfer; a custom dye is infused into gel.  Each color used in the print is then applied in a layer to form a gel matrix (blue, then green, then red, for example).  This gel matrix is then heat-pressed onto aircraft-grade aluminum and finished with a hard coating.  The prints are waterproof and scratch-resistant.  The prints are archival and are rated for a life of 150+ years.  The prints arrive ready-to-hang; no additional framing or mounting materials are needed.

The combination of custom dyes and layered printing provides both beautiful color and a 3-dimensional quality to prints.  I like the effect on my work, and hope you do as well.

 

3. Framed Paper Prints

Made to the same standards as option 1, plus a high-quality wood frame.  Frame will not include glass if shipping.
