QUALITY

I am involved in every aspect of the art you purchase, from image conception to the finished product.  Conservation glass is used on all work.

Etchings:  I etch my own plates as well as pull my own prints and individually hand-color each etching. I limit my editions in order to maintain the highest intaglio print quality, as well as offer you artwork with enduring value. Matting and framing is of the highest quality and to museum standards and is carefully chosen for each etching. However, if you have something specific in mind, I'll be happy to tailor a particular look to your individual taste. Refer to The Etching Process for additional information on etching.

Watercolors:  Watercolors are painted on Arches Hot Press 300#  rag paper. I paint off the edge of the paper and leave the deckle edges of the paper showing when framed. My watercolors are usually framed in a hand-wrapped silk or linen mat, with or without a hand-leafed gold liner. Frames are of the highest quality and are chosen specifically for each individual piece. 

It is a pleasure to bring the natural world to you
