FAQs
What is your paint medium?
Acrylic enamel is a high-tech material used on modern cars - it is extremely durable and protects against UV light and dust.
What other materials do you use?
CANVAS - I use hand-woven, 100% cotton canvases coated with three layers of professional-grade, acid-free gesso.
STRETCHER BARS - The primed canvas fabric is evenly stretched around solid wood stretcher bars, which are kiln-dried for warp-resistance and long-term stability.
PAINT & VARNISH - Ground mica, aluminum flakes, ceramic crystals, and sealed with sprayed layers of a top clear coat.
What does 'stretched' canvas mean?
The painting comes with 1.5 inch-thick wooden stretcher bars that have been attached against the back of the painting. This allows you to immediately hang the painting on your wall once received (hanging wire is installed on the back). It is not possible for my paintings to be removed from the stretcher bars to be rolled - the paint is completely sealed onto the canvas and stretcher bars.
How do I care for my painting?
Gently wipe the surface of the painting with a soft microfiber towel as needed. Polishing the painting every six months or so with a car wax spray and microfiber towels will keep it in pristine condition for vivid and bright viewing.
How do I light my painting?
Hang your painting in a space with a lot of indirect sunlight, and/or under artificial lights. The metals in the paint shine the brightest and show the most color depth under as much light as possible. To completely change the look of the painting, try adding colored light bulbs. Just like glass, there will always be some kind of glare due to the shiny protective clear coat.
Why do you not product prints or giclees of your original paintings?
My metallic medium produces a sparkly, shiny and reflective surface, with color depths that do not translate well to matte prints. When you buy an original painting, there will never be another one like it. You own the only one of its kind.
