Each piece is made to last — whether you’ve chosen an original painting or a fine art print, you’re investing in high-quality artwork designed to bring lasting enjoyment. While the materials are archival and professionally produced, a few simple steps can help keep your artwork looking its best over time.
Originals
Each original is painted with professional-grade acrylics and sealed with a protective varnish. Even so, it’s important to treat it with care.
- Keep the art out of direct sunlight. UV rays can fade colours over time, even with a protective varnish.
- Avoid damp areas. Kitchens and bathrooms can cause moisture damage over time.
- Dust gently. Use a soft, dry brush or lint-free cloth. Don’t use water or cleaning sprays.
- Handle with care. Always use clean, dry hands or gloves when moving the artwork.
- Framing is optional. If your piece isn’t already framed, professional framing can add an extra layer of protection — especially if you want to include UV-protective glass.
Fine art prints
- The prints are professionally produced on archival paper using high-quality inks, made to last. But like any artwork, they’ll last longest with the right care.
- Frame your print. UV-protective glass or acrylic is best, especially for brighter rooms.
- Display with care. Keep away from direct sunlight and high-humidity areas.
- Clean the frame gently. Wipe with a soft cloth. Don’t spray cleaner directly on the glass — spray the cloth first.
If your print arrives unframed
- A4, A3 and A2 size prints are sent out in a flat cardboard double-sided envelope.
- If your print arrives rolled up in a tube (usually A1 size), unroll with care and let it relax before handling or framing.
- Store flat. If you’re not ready to frame it, store in a cool, dry place between acid-free sheets.
- Avoid pressure or stacking. Prints can be easily marked or bent if stored incorrectly.
