Artwork

WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING:

“[Our daughter’s] picture is such a joy to us. She will show visitors her baby picture with such pride. Thanks for taking those pictures and encouraging us to print.”

-Andrea T.

Proud to Be A Printmaker


It is a special honor to be entrusted in documenting a family's memories, and doing my part to ensure that they last for as long as possible feels like the least I can do. It is with this in mind that I have carefully curated only the finest printed artwork options for you to consider as the medium for displaying your photos.

Whether it’s an heirloom album you can hold in your hands and flip through at your leisure, a large statement piece hanging above your entryway to greet you joyfully everyday, or a multi-image wall gallery custom-designed to perfectly complement one or more rooms in your home, my goal is to get your photos off your screens and into your everyday life where they belong.

Heirloom Albums


It’s no secret that I love albums. Perhaps it is because I am a book-lover, and enjoy the feeling of holding an album in my lap, turning the pages, and seeing how the full story comes together. (Or perhaps it’s because I often can’t decide which photo I like the best and really just want to include them all!) Whatever the case, I know you will fall in love with my albums too once you see them up close.

My albums are gorgeous and handcrafted with great attention to detail. The photos are printed on photo paper, mounted to thick, durable, lay-flat pages, and the workmanship is guaranteed for life.

Matted Archival Prints


View your prints as a collection as you would an album, or rotate your favorites into and out of your own 8” x 10” frames throughout the year. Matted archival prints are sold in sets of 10 or more and presented in an archival Museum Case, which provides an elegant and protective storage option when the prints not being displayed or handled.

They are a versatile option for displaying your photos in smaller spaces, allow DIY framing or custom framing from your favorite local framer, and make an excellent gift item for friends and family.

Printed on thick, archival paper with water-based archival inks, these prints include a lifetime guarantee against yellowing or fading and are rated to last in excess of 200 years under normal display conditions (and even longer when not on display).

Museum-Quality Wall Art


Looking to transform your living space into a warm and inviting place that celebrates your loved ones everyday? Wall art is a wonderful way to do that! And contrary to what you might think, this is something you can do no matter the size of your home.

Using a sophisticated wall design program, I will help you visualize exactly what pieces will look like in the context of your actual rooms and existing decor before you buy. No need to guess or be disappointed by something not fitting in your space, we’ll get it right from the start!

Every wall art purchase also includes installation, so you never have to worry about photos sitting on the floor for months or years waiting to be hung ever again. (Let’s be honest, that’s 90% of the battle. Yes, I’ve been guilty of that, too!)

Framed Prints

Outdoor 1-yr milestone session. Shown in 4 - 12” x 18” Satin Black Maple archival framed prints with a 2” mat.

Framed prints are an elegant and timeless choice for any occasion, and are available in a variety of sustainable hardwood and contemporary frame profiles (see below). They are a traditional choice for displaying your photos and look great in a variety of spaces. My framed prints are custom-framed by hand to perfectly fit every art piece and much nicer than any off-the-shelf frame you will find.

Printed on thick, archival paper with water-based archival inks, these prints include a lifetime guarantee against yellowing or fading and are rated to last in excess of 200 years under normal display conditions.

The mat boards are eco-friendly and exceed the standards established by the Library of Congress, Library Service Institutions, and The Fine Art Trade Guild. They are custom-cut to perfectly fit every print, acid free, lignin free, 8-ply, with a bevel edge, and carefully secured with archival adhesives. Framed prints are then backed with ArtCare Archival Foam Board that absorbs and neutralizes harmful gases.

Every framed print is also protected with museum-quality 99% UV-blocking acrylic that offers premium protection for your print, while also helping it look its very best. It is thick, with a glass-like appearance and feel, while being shatter-resistant and half the weight of glass.

Each frame is then carefully finished with an acid free and puncture-resistant dust cover and backed with beehive wall hangers for quick, easy, and accurate installation.

Sustainable Hardwood Frames


My hardwood frames come from sustainably harvested solid wood and are milled and assembled by hand in the United States. Choices (from left to right) include Satin Black Maple, White Maple, Light Grey Maple, Medium Grey Maple, Dark Grey Ash, Black Cherry, Antique Cherry, Aged Cherry, Oil and Wax Cherry, and Oil and Wax Walnut. (Click each image for a detailed view.) All of my hardwood frames are available in 0.75" or 1.5" wide profiles with either a 2” or 4” mat.

Contemporary Frames


My contemporary frames are available in a variety of elegant styles and are sourced from around the world. They vary in width depending on the frame profile chosen. Options (from left to right) include Adelaide (7/8”), Charlotte (1.5”), Madison (1 5/8"), Sydney (2.25”), Helena (2 9/16”), Naples (0.75”), Venetian Silver (0.75”), Venetian Silver Wide (1.25”), Verona (1.75”), Geneva Silver (2.75”), Sierra (0.75”), Athens (1”), Vienna (1.25”), Venetian Gold Wide (1.25”), Geneva Gold (2.75”), Venetian Bronze (0.75”), Adelaide Bronze (7/8”), Corsica (2”), Sydney Dark (2.25”), and Geneva Dark (2.75”), with either a 2” or 4” mat. (Click each image for a detailed view.)

Regardless of the style you choose, all of my framed prints are built starting with your photo, printed on archival paper, then going outward to the mat, and then with your custom-built frame. This means that you do not lose any of the image due to matting, aside from 0.25” around the edge required to secure the print inside the mat.

Here is a detailed look of all that goes into your framed print. As you can see, the framed prints I offer are much more than simply a loose photo placed in a frame. Rather, they consist of many other components that work together to preserve the longevity of your print for many years to come.

fine art canvases

Outdoor family session. Shown in 4 - 20” x 30” fine art unframed canvases.

Canvas prints are a flexible, modern choice that look great in a variety of rooms.

Each canvas print is made from 100% natural cotton Hahnemühle canvas material and features a finely woven, elegant surface structure. Each canvas is hand-stretched over sturdy, custom-built basswood stretcher bars, then custom cut to reduce bulk. The canvas is then coated with Hahnemühle Matte Varnish, resulting in a non-glare surface that retains a wide range of colors well. Canvases are archival and acid-free.

The back of each canvas is then finished with an archival backing material that is acid-free, moisture, and puncture-resistant, and backed with beehive wall hangers for quick, easy, and accurate installation.

Choose between a slim-profile 0.5” canvas in a traditional hardwood or contemporary frame (same choices as the framed prints above), or a standard-depth 1.5” canvas, available either unframed in a variety of wrap styles (gallery wrap, mirror wrap, solid white, or black wrap), or float-framed in one of the options below.

Float Frames


Standard-depth canvases may be float-framed in a thicker version of my Sustainable Hardwood Frames, made especially to fit the depth of canvas prints, with a 1/2” wide and 2 3/8” tall profile. Choices (from left to right) include Satin Black Maple, White Maple, Light Grey Maple, Medium Grey Maple, Dark Grey Ash, Black Cherry, Antique Cherry, Aged Cherry, Oil and Wax Cherry, and Oil and Wax Walnut (see below).
