The galleries of images on this site are curated collections of work that have been produced from 2008 to the present. New work is added and older works are remastered on a continuous basis.

Prints of images are offered as open editions. I do not offer or support the idea of the so-called “limited edition.” Since, in all honesty, there is no such thing as a limited edition in todays modern era. A term that once had merit for the true nature of art production, it is used today as nothing more than a marketing scheme to charge higher prices. You can read more about these details in the article I wrote when this decision was made. Limited Edition Prints & The The Truth Behind Them.

Photographs printed on paper have a long and storied history. Producing the so-called “fine art print” is an ever-growing challenge. Over the years I have produced prints on many different papers.

Some of the low-cost papers today are literally more plastic than paper. Most often referred to as light jet, chromogenic, c-prints, or crystal archive. They sound impressive, but they are the same quality prints you would get from the one-hour photomart in a drugstore. The real issue is longevity. They simply do not have it and are at the lowest end of the archival scale. Due to the materials and methods used to produce these prints fading colors will begin in a few years from the time it is printed.

Other photo papers that are more traditional have varying degrees of whiteners or optical brighteners added to them. This is to help the ink stand out better. That may sound good, but in a matter of just a few years, the whiteners begin to yellow. When that happens the ink begins to change color. Not a good thing to say the least.

Most of today’s low-end non-professional inkjet printers use dye-based inks. Dyes produce great colors and great-looking prints in the short term. The inherent issue with these dye-based inks is fading. Dyes simply do not have a long color fidelity. Within a few years, fading occurs and continues year after year.

Then there are papers that are 100% cotton rag content base stock. They carry designations such as ISO 9706 and ANSI Z 39.48-1992. They are acid-free and have no optical brighteners added. Papers such as this are considered museum-quality papers and carry the highest archival ratings available for photographic prints.

One of the main considerations when choosing how my work is offered as prints are the materials used. Primarily, museum-quality acid-free papers combined with professional quality large format printers utilizing pigment-based archival ink sets are the materials of choice. Prints on paper have archival ratings of 75+ years as conducted by Wilhelm Imaging Research. They are truly prints that will last a lifetime. Check out all the paper print options here.

Pros of prints on paper

• Provide elegant visual and textural appearance and qualities.
• Variety of paper choices. Gloss, luster, semi-mat, rag, velvet, watercolor, metallic.
• Industry-leading archival ratings when produced to the highest standards.
• Many personalized options for matting and framing are now available when ordering.

Cons of prints on paper

• Are somewhat fragile and can be damaged when handled before mounting and framing.
• When framed with glass, framing glass/glazing can cause glare in very bright and directly lit settings.

The process of printing on canvas is somewhat new when comparted to printing on paper. With todays modern inkjet printers along with development of archival canvas specifically designed for large format printers, canvas prints have become very popular and for good reasons. Prints on fine art archival canvas are very durable, extremely light weight, and can in many instances resemble fine art paintings. The ease of handling and hanging of large prints is a noticeable benefit with canvas prints.

The framed canvas option, which is available when ordering, places the printed gallery-wrapped canvas into a drop frame. This is also referred to as a floating frame. This gives the canvas the appearance of floating within the frame producing a visually appealing finished piece of wall art. Both framed and non-framed canvas prints include hanging hardware and are ready to hang the moment you receive them. Check out canvas print options here.

Pros of prints on canvas

• Very light in weight making hanging much easier.
• A more durable piece of art.
• Available unframed or in float frame.
• Ready to hang when received.
• Have an appearance of a fine art painting.

Cons of prints on canvas

• The texture of the canvas can slightly reduce fine detail within the image.
• Slightly lower in overall contrast compared to other media.
