General Information

What types of materials do you use?

My artwork is painted on 100% cotton rag papers using professional artist grade pigments. My paintings are sold matted using conservation quality matting with foam core backing, except for those pieces that are mounted on wood panels.

Some of my watercolours paintings are mounted on birch wood panels. I prime the panels prior to mounting the paintings to prevent discolouration caused by leached acids from the wood. I apply a couple of coats of spray varnish to protect the painting, adhere it to the wood panel with an acrylic adhesive, and protect it with two coats of wax which is polished by hand to a soft sheen.
