Prints

Thank you for your interest in my art. My limited edition work is available in three forms.

1) Face-Mounted Acrylic Prints

My acrylic prints offer an unparalleled level of visual quality and clarity. The image is printed at high resolution onto metallic photographic paper, then face-mounted behind optically clear acrylic and given a dibond backing for rigidity. The effect is similar to looking through a high-quality glass window — images seem to jump off the surface and appear almost three-dimensional. The acrylic fills with light, and under the right conditions the print takes on a back-lit appearance.

When looking at my prints at an art fair, people often remark that they feel as though they are right there and can simply step into the scene. I have even noticed some visitors take selfies in front of my large prints, as it equals the look and feel of being there.

I use TruLife® acrylic, which is anti-reflective, UV-filtering, and abrasion-resistant — considerably more resistant to wear than traditional print materials like paper or canvas. The anti-glare quality matters more than people expect: it is what lets the piece hold its depth in a room with windows or overhead lighting, rather than showing you your own reflection. These prints make an excellent investment for a collector who wants their collection to remain pristine for years, and they make wonderful heirloom art.

Acrylic prints are heavier than metal and deserve a bit of care in handling, but the look is sure to impress for decades. They arrive ready to hang with a cleat on the back, and can be displayed without a frame, which adds to their minimalist and refined appeal.

Framing is available at an extra charge. I recommend original Italian Roma moulding or Larson & Juhl moulding to add a classy and luxurious look, as seen in the image below. Please contact me if you'd like your print framed — I will work with you to pick out the ideal frame for your chosen art.

These prints usually take about three weeks to make, plus shipping time based on your location. Framing can add more time, as moulding availability isn't guaranteed in these days of supply chain shortages. The wait is always worth it — this piece will last you a lifetime and more.

2) Chromaluxe Aluminum Prints

ChromaLuxe Aluminum prints are a stunning and unique way to display a photograph. The image is infused directly into a 1mm sheet of aluminum through dye-sublimation — a process using high temperature and pressure that produces colors which are incredibly rich and true to life.

Beyond their vibrant colors, these prints have a beautiful luminosity and depth. The reflective metal surface adds a sparkle and shimmer that enhances the image, an effect that is particularly striking in photographs with bright colors or strong contrast. Semi-gloss or matte surfaces are available if the print is destined for a room with lots of windows; both reduce glare considerably.

Chromaluxe prints maintain their quality for decades when hung appropriately and away from direct sunlight. Maintenance is simple — wipe with a damp cloth. They are far more moisture-resistant than any paper or canvas print, and being lightweight and easy to care for makes them ideal for offices, apartment buildings, hotels, hospitals, and other public spaces. They can also bring art to bathrooms and other places where moisture would ruin a paper print.

Framing is available. Many people like a float frame, where the print appears to hang in the air within the frame. Please contact me to discuss options.

These prints usually take about a week in production. Framing can increase the lead time substantially.

3) Matted Paper Prints

At art fairs I also offer matted prints in smaller sizes. These are made by me, and they are a great option for people with limited wall space. You'll need to supply a frame to hang them. They were born from my first couple of fairs, where many people loved the work and asked me to make it "more accessible."

I do not offer matted prints through the website. Please check my art fair schedule and come see me at your convenience. Alternatively, my home works as a gallery and you are welcome to set up an appointment.

Which should you choose?

Metal prints generally run 20–35% less than acrylic, though the exact difference varies by size. Beyond price, the right choice really depends on the particular image, the wall it's going on, the light in that room, and the size you have in mind. Some of my photographs sing on metal; others want the depth that acrylic gives them. I've stopped making blanket recommendations, because the honest answer changes from piece to piece and from room to room.

So please just ask me. Reach out by phone, text, or email, tell me which piece you're considering and where you're thinking of hanging it, and I'll give you my honest recommendation for your particular situation. If you're able to visit in person or catch me at an art fair, even better — seeing both side by side settles the question faster than any description can. It will always be my pleasure.
