About Prints
Thank you for your interest in my photography. Almost all of my pictures of the Cuchara Valley are available as prints for you to enjoy full-size in your home, office, or cabin. This page provides some general information about the available print options and pricing but I prefer to interact with my clients directly by email or phone to find the best option for you. Please contact me if you are considering purchasing a print.
I know it is difficult to purchase an expensive wall hanging online without being able to see it in person, so I have a limited selection of prints available locally at Cuchara Mountain Mercantile. You can also see my work at the Cuchara Art Show held in August each year.
Print Options
The prints I sell to my clients are of the highest quality and are printed on archival materials by Bay Photo Lab, a top-rated professional lab. My standard prints are available on several types of media including Acrylic, Metal, Barnwood Framed and Matted, and Giclee Canvas. For stunning visual quality, I recommend acrylic prints, and for a more traditional look, the Barnwood Framed Prints. If you are interested in other options such as matted or framed prints, additional sizes not listed, or digital products, please contact me. I am more than happy to work with you to meet your needs.
Acrylic
Acrylic Prints are printed on metallic photo paper then face-mounted to 1/4″ clear acrylic. Printing onto metallic paper gives the print a luminous appearance; this method is far superior to direct printing onto the acrylic because it provides much higher resolution and more vibrance. The clear acrylic magnifies the beauty of the image and provides a classic but modern look. Acrylics are printed using archival inks onto archival photo paper providing the same long life as traditional Giclee Canvas Prints.Acrylic prints are hung using a 1” deep wood frame with a cleat hanger. The frame makes the image appear to be floating on the wall with nothing showing from the front.
Barnwood Frames
These barnwood frames are produced from re-purposed wood harvested from old barns, floor boards, marine wood, and fences from northern California and are truly one-of-a-kind. Images are printed on professional-quality metallic or Deep Matte Velvet paper, depending on the particular image, mounted on 1/4″ foam board. Framed prints are finished with paper backing and a wire hanger.
Barnwood framed prints are priced with matted images. Please contact me for non-matted options or additional sizes not listed.
Metal
Metal prints represent a new art medium for preserving photos by infusing dyes directly into specially coated aluminum sheets. My print lab uses only the highest quality Chromaluxe metal for the best results possible. Because the image is infused into the surface and not on it, the images take on an almost magical luminescence. Metals are uniquely durable prints with vibrant colors, brilliant luminescent images, and exceptional detail. The ultra-hard scratch-resistant surface is waterproof/weatherproof and can be cleaned easily. ChromaLuxe has been demonstrated to last significantly longer than photo papers so your metal prints will remain stunningly beautiful for generations to come.
Giclee Canvas
Giclee Canvas Prints are printed with archival inks on a 400gsm white poly-cotton blend canvas specifically designed for the high-end fine art and photography markets. Images arrive ready to hang, printed on canvas using Epson archival inks and wrapped around a 1.5″ wooden stretcher frame with a wire across the back. The gallery wrap is prepared so that the entire image shows on the face of the finished canvas, preserving the original composition of the image, and the parts of the image closest to the edge are wrapped over the sides of the canvas in a mirror image. Solid color edges are also available.
