ABOUT OUR PRINTS

CATALOG ▸ ABOUT OUR PRINTS

★ MADE IN CALIFORNIA

The California Coast is my home. As a third generation Californian, I am proud to to say that all of our Fine Art Prints are printed on the California Coast, just outside of Santa Cruz.

★ MADE TO LAST

Our prints are made to stand out, and made to last using archival materials in a variety of formats for every home or workspace, from traditional Canvas or Paper, to modern Aluminum panels or Maple Wood panels for a unique post-modern look.

★ MADE FOR YOU

Each and every print is hand-made just for you.  Beyond the materials, or where they are made, these prints are most importantly made for you to celebrate our shared love for the California Coast and all of it's beauty.

 

★ CRAFTED WITH CARE

Our printers take their job seriously, from mastering color-correction to nailing that perfect shade of deep cobalt blue, they don't mess around. I smile and say, "yeah that looks good", while they go into detailed discussions of specific print profiles and technical jargon that would give the rocket scientists at Vandenburg a run for their money. Bottom line - I trust these folks. They have earned it through decades of dedication to their craft.

★ READY TO HANG

All of our Fine Art Prints on Canvas, Wood, or Metal arrive ready to hang and enjoy in your home the day they arrive on your doorstep. A selection of Framing options are also available, depending on the media, as well as unframed paper options or thin stretched canvas for those who wish to get crafty in the woodshop or work with their own local frame shop.

★ SHIPPED WITH CONFIDENCE

All of our Fine Art Prints typically ship within 5 business days (Limited Editions take a little longer). They are packed with care using methods developed over decades to ensure your artwork arrives on your doorstep safely.

International shipping? No problem. It can cost a bit more, but we know what it takes, and we're ready to make it happen.

 

 

OUR FINE ART PRINT OPTIONS

FINE ART CANVAS

The truest it gets to the original. For artwork that was originally painted on canvas, what better medium is there to convey the look and feel of the hand-painted artwork than canvas itself? An added bonus is that these prints are ready to hang just as they are, so unlike paper prints they require no additional matting or framing, which often makes them the most economical choice as well, all things considered. Win, win!

Gallery Canvas Fine Art Prints are printed directly onto museum-quality canvas material using high-quality archival inks. These elegantly textured canvas prints feature a soft-matte surface with a semi-gloss coating and a black edge all the way around.  Available in 2.5", 1.5", or 3/4" depths.

WOOD (New!)

Something different. Printed on wood panels where the grain pattern is retained beneath the print, these are perfect for a clean modern interior where a touch of organic warmth is desired.

Wood Fine Art Prints are printed directly on to 1/2" thick maple surfaced wood panels, for a warm and natural-looking print that is also eco-friendly.

We start with a white ink underlay on the wood to make the true colors of your artwork pop like they should, yet also still allow the beautiful wood texture to show on the surface of the artwork. Each wood print is unique and no two prints will look precisely alike.

METAL (New!)

For the cleanest post-modern or demanding environments, these beautiful glossy metal prints are made to stand out, and made to last.

Metal Fine Art Prints are the ultimate in vibrancy. The MetalPrints™ High Gloss White aluminium art panel gives you a high gloss image that bursts with color and light. MetalPrints™ represent a new  medium for preserving artwork by infusing dyes directly into specially coated aluminum sheets. Because the image is infused into the surface and not on it, your images will take on an almost magical luminescence. The ultra-hard scratch-resistant surface is waterproof/weatherproof and can be cleaned easily - just avoid direct sunlight.

MUSEUM ART PAPER

This super-heavyweight 310gsm, 100% archival museum-grade paper is the most beautiful paper I've ever printed my art on. For real. We tested dozens of fine art print papers for weight, feel, texture, and most importantly richness of color reproduction - and this was our clear choice.

Museum Art Paper Fine Art Prints are printed on a museum-quallity, 100% cotton rag fine art paper specially tailored for Fine Art use. The bright white paper has silky, subtle surface texture with a beautiful feel.  This 100% archival acid- and lignin-free Fine Art paper meets the most exacting requirements for age resistance. When ordered unframed, these prints are trimmed with a generous 1" extra margin of white paper border around the image.
