How do I care for my artwork?

I make all my art, whether it's an original, canvas print or paper print, in high quality materials that are made to last. And with a little care, your piece will last at least a lifetime. Here's what I recommend, whether you've bought an original, a canvas print, or a paper print.

Originals

My originals are painted with high quality acrylics on canvas and carefully sealed. That means they have a protection against sunlight, water, dust and other things it may be exposed to in a home. They're built to last, but they're still living objects that respond to their environment.

If you can keep them away from direct sunlight and damp rooms like bathrooms or steamy kitchens, that's the best. Dust occasionally with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. No water, no cleaning products. And try not to lean anything against the canvas surface.

Canvas prints

The same basic rules apply. Away from direct sunlight, away from moisture. A soft cloth or feather duster every now and then is all they need. Never spray anything directly onto the canvas.

Paper prints

Paper prints are the most delicate of the three, which is why framing behind glass is so important. It protects the surface from dust, UV light, and moisture. Once they're framed, they're well protected. Just avoid touching the print surface directly, and keep them out of direct sunlight.
