Debra paints each piece by hand on a tablet. The finished painting is printed to order by FinerWorks, a professional fine art printing service, as a giclée on archival matte paper or artisan canvas.
Archival Matte Paper (Moab Lasal Photo Matte) is a smooth, heavyweight (230 g, 9.5-mil), neutral-white, acid-free paper that gives sharp detail and accurate color. It’s the most affordable option.
Artisan Canvas by Breathing Colors is a poly/cotton canvas printed with archival Epson UltraChrome GSX inks. It has a satin, low-gloss finish and a consistent canvas texture, and it resists scratches and smudges without a coating.
No. Prints arrive unframed, and canvas prints aren’t offered stretched, so you can choose the mat and frame that suit your space.
FinerWorks carefully packs each print in a flat box. Debra has never had a complaint about damage in shipping.
Each painting is offered in sizes that keep its original proportions, from about 5×9 inches up to 40×20 inches. Choose a size and material on each print’s page; the price updates as you choose.
Archival papers, canvas and inks are made to resist fading. Prints can last about 100 years when cared for: keep them out of direct sunlight and away from damp or other harsh conditions.
