Prints and Ordering Process
I have sold wall art prints for a number of years and am always humbled and honored when an ocean lover chooses to hang my work in their home or office. I don't operate a formal online store and ask that if you are interested in purchasing my underwater art please contact me so we can discuss your needs. That approach ensures you'll get a product that best meets your needs.
​
I have a lot of experience printing on aluminum metal (which looks great for underwater images), canvas, acrylic and fine art paper. All printing is done by leading print labs to ensure highest quality. I use high resolution Sony cameras that ensure even large prints can be produced while maintaining great levels of detail. Prints can be signed if you wish. ​​

The information below is provided to give you insight into various options.
​
Fine Art Prints
​
Canson Platine Fibre Rag is my fine art paper of choice. This 100% cotton paper has a smooth surface feel and satin finish. Platine Fibre Rag’s extremely high “Dmax” value means it has exceptional gray tones for highest quality black and white. And a wide color gamut makes it great for color. Containing no chemical optical brightening agents (OBAs) and being acid free, combined with archival printing inks, these prints have decades of longevity. These fine art prints are meant to be framed.
The default is to leave a small white border which will help in your matting process, but if you prefer printing all the way to the edge of the paper that can be done too.
Metal Prints
​
Printing on metal produces a striking, vibrant look, with rich luminescence. Dyes are directly infused into a specially coated aluminum sheet creating a brilliant look that’s also waterproof and incredibly durable. The metal print is mounted on an inset frame recessed from the edges of the print, giving the appearance of standing 3/4” away from the wall when hung. Default is a high gloss finish. Mid gloss and satin finishes are also available. I'm happy to work with you to determine which finish will be best for you.
Canvas Wrap
​
High-quality archival inks are printed directly onto museum-quality canvas. The resulting print is then stretched around a strong wood bar frame and stapled to secure. The sides of the frame are 1.5" deep and the printing extends around the sides of the canvas. Smaller sizes use a "sawtooth" hanger. Larger sizes use a wire hanger.
