About the Prints
Thank you for your interest in my fine art prints celebrating the wonder and beauty of the Pacific Northwest. I hope that you find an image worthy of display on the wall of your home or office. Please check out details of the print options available below.
These Metal Prints are created by transferring the print image directly onto 1mm thick ChromaLuxe aluminum via a sublimation technique that uses both heat and pressure. The specially coated ChromaLuxe surface produces a vibrant, durable and water resistant piece of art that is ready to make a statement in your home or office.
The print is mounted to a 1-inch thick wall float that is easy to hang and makes the print appear to float on your wall.
This print's scratch resistant and waterproof surface makes it hygienic and easy to clean … an excellent choice where cleanability and safety are desired.
ChromaLuxe Metal Prints
If you’re ready for a statement piece, look to acrylic wall art. Acrylic photo prints are stunning, crisp, and bring out the best of the image.
The image is printed directly onto the back of a 1/4” thick optical grade acrylic sheet, and are then backed with aluminum for added durability. The print is then polished and mounted to a 1-inch thick aluminum wall float that is easy to hang and makes the print appear to float on your wall.
Acrylic wall prints are durable, water-resistant and easy to clean.
Acrylic Prints
Each print includes a Story Card, on which I share a bit of the story behind how I found and photographed the image, along with information about the physical print. You may consider keeping this Story Card with the print, or taping it to the back of your frame, for future reference.

Dimensions
Each print includes a white boarder.
12X18 inch prints are printed on 13X19 inch paper. 16X24 inch prints are printed on 17X25 inch paper.
The image area is printed centered on the paper. I sign each print in the lower right boarder just under the image area with archival pigment ink.

While your print is made with the finest archival materials, ultraviolet light can still degrade the print over time. To get a lifetime of enjoyment from your print, it needs to be matted and framed behind UV-blocking glass, and it must not displayed in direct sunlight. If you choose to have the print matted:
The 12X18 and 16X24 print areas will fit into ready-made mats available on-line or in your local craft/framing store. However, the mat opening will typically cover the borders, the signature and about 1/4 inch all around the edges of the image area.
Alternatively, you can have a custom mat made with an opening sized to reveal some of the border around the image area and the signature. When I mat prints for sale at my Gallery, I size the mat opening to include 1/4 inch of border at the top and along the sides, and 1/2 inch of border, along with the signature, at the bottom, as shown below.
A professional framer will have the widest selection of conservation-grade materials and can artfully craft your print into a completed work of art to suit your home or office décor.
Matting & Framing
Prints are typically produced and dropped to the shipper within 2 days. However, this can be delayed if I am away on a trip.
All of our prints are shipped flat (not rolled up in a tube) so that you receive them without troublesome curling. Please see the video below on how to safely unbox your print from its package.

I use a precise color management system while processing and printing my photos. This includes a high-gamut computer monitor calibrated with a colorimeter, a consistent lighting setup in my editing studio and ICC printing profiles matched to my printer and paper. This system ensures that I am viewing and editing my photos on a display that is calibrated to industry standards.
Regardless, it is impossible for any physical print (which reflects surrounding ambient light off its surface) to perfectly match what you see when viewing this website on any screen (which emits its own light). While my color management system attempts to match the print to the monitor as best as I can, the physics of physical prints and electronic screens are simply different.
Further, unless you are using a calibrated high-gamut monitor to view the photos on this website, the brightness and colors on your screen may appear different than the industry standard brightness and colors that I work to.
Some suggestions that may help:
View this website in a setting where the ambient background is illuminated by natural light and is slightly less bright than your screen. You can hold a sheet of white paper in the ambient light next to your monitor to evaluate this. The similar ambient brightness and the white background used in this website may help your eyes dilate for the intended white point and may compensate for any color cast in your screen.
View your print under natural light, such as near a window but not in direct sunlight. The white border around the print may help your eyes understand the intended white point and compensate for any color cast in your ambient light.
If you are trying to compare a physical print to an image on this website viewed on your screen, then illuminate the print such that its white border has similar brightness to the white background of this website when the print is held next to the screen. Even then, remember that it is impossible for any physical print (which reflects surrounding ambient light off its surface) to perfectly match what you see when viewing this website on any screen (which emits its own light).
