Framing Suggestion
The ‘Australian Finches’ artwork is unlike my other prints in that it is not printed at standard frame sizes due to the size aspect ratio of the artwork. Having a frame made by a local framing shop is recommended.

Extra Info
About the Paper
My Australian wildlife fine art prints are made using a premium quality 310gsm 100% cotton paper. This acid free paper is made without any Optical Brightening Agents, (these are artificial brighteners that are often used in cheaper papers and deteriorate in time and shorten the longevity of prints). Being museum-grade, this archival paper meets the requirements of galleries and museums for art conservation.
As my fine art prints are produced entirely in-house, I’m able to compare them with my original drawings at each stage of the printing process to ensure they are as close to the original as possible. This cuts down on production costs meaning I can provide outstanding quality giclée prints to my customers at reasonable prices.
Framing Info
Prints are sold unmounted and unframed. The ‘Australian Finches’ artwork is unlike my other prints in that it is not printed at standard frame sizes due to the size aspect ratio of the artwork. I recommend having it professionally framed. Choose a frame with UV protective glass and acid free backing board as this will protect the print from fading and it will stay vibrant for many years.
Caring for your prints
To prolong the life of your framed prints, it’s recommended to have them professionally framed behind UV protective glass with acid free backing board and mount, and kept away from humidity and direct sunlight.
