Frequently Asked Questions

Archival art refers to artworks made with materials and techniques designed to resist fading and deterioration over a very long time. This includes using materials like acid-free paper and lightfast inks.

A stretcher is a wooden framework, often made of four bars, that supports and holds a canvas taut for painting. The key feature of a stretcher is its expandable corners, which allow the artist to adjust the tension of the canvas by tapping in small wooden wedges, called keys. This feature allows for re-tensioning the fabric if it slackens over time, preventing wrinkles and creases. Once dry, the canvas can be cut from the stretchers, mounted and framed.

Limited edition art refers to high-quality reproductions of an original artwork that are produced in a fixed, limited quantity. For example, only 20 copies of my painting Bee Series 3 are printed on A3 watercolour paper. Each is signed and numbered. This print run will never be repeated, creating scarcity and exclusivity to make it a collectible item. Once the edition is complete, no more copies are made, which helps maintain the value of each piece.

A print is a high quality reproduction of an original painting. I photograph my original painting and print them myself using my Epson p-900 SureColour Inkjet printer. I ensure my prints are as close to the original painting as possible. All of my prints are archival.
