• Caring for your art

    All of my artwork is "archival". The oil paintings will last at least 100 years. (Wouldn't it be nice if we all lived that long!)

    Placing Your Art
    Never place your art in areas exposed to direct sunlight, close to heat sources or in high moisture areas. Sunlight will damage the pigments (colors), paint film and may increase breakdown of the substrate. Moisture will cause mould or fungus and could permanently damage the painting and substrate.

    Cleaning and Hanging Your Art
    Works on paper should be framed with acid free mats and placed in modestly lit areas with ample ventilation. For larger works on paper (over 16" x 20" framed size), I recommend using Plexiglas or Lucite as they are lighter and much safer than glass. However, Plexiglas scratches easily. There may be other options so talk to your framer for ideas.

    Works on canvas can be cleaned or dusted with a very soft cloth and absolutely NO cleaning agents ever! They may dissolve the paint off the surface. If your art really needs proper cleaning, seek out an art restoration company who will clean the work safely. My oil paintings on canvas have clean finished edges. You may choose to frame them or not, depending on how the art looks on your chosen wall.

    Make sure you have plastic bumpers on the back corners of all your art so that mould doesn't build and stain the back of the art or your wall.

  • Payment Plans Available

    March, 2021
    You are welcome to pay for your art by instalment plan for items over $1,500 net. Once fully paid, you will receive the art. Another option is to work with my art lease agency that will offer a purchase payment plan available for art over $1,500 value. Then you can take the art home quickly. Please contact me for more information.

  • Art For Canadian Businesses

    If you operate a business in Canada you can purchase Canadian artist work ($200+ value) and deduct the cost over time on your tax return. Also, art rentals and leasing are tax deductible too. Contact your tax lawyer or accountant for more details. No more boring walls!

  • Future Workshops?

    Currently, my studio is too small to host workshops. If I find another venue, I'll post the information.

    When workshops come available a new link in the menu bar will be added. News will also be posted in the Opus Framing & Art Supplies website and in my e-newsletters. Click "Subscribe" in the top menu for newsletters.
