What is acid-free paper?

Acid free means that the paper’s pH is 7.0 or higher, which makes it alkaline. This kind of paper has less chemical agents involved in the manufacturing process, which makes it a more environmentally friendly option.


Acid-free paper is designed to last, it is less likely to yellow with age and won’t get brittle in the same way that paper with a higher degree of acidity can over time.

What is varnish?

Varnish is a layer applied to a finished painting to increase brightness and colour saturation. It is good for paintings that are going to be framed without glass and to protect them from dirt, dust and other contaminants in the environment.

What is a canvas panel?

A canvas panel is made from 100% cotton canvas triple-primed, wrapped and glued to 1/8” stiff MDF backing.

Why are you using canvas panels?

Canvas panels are rigid, lighter and more portable than stretched canvas. This encourages lower shipping rates and framing costs.

What is a COA?

A COA is a certificate of authenticity. It ensures the value and legitimacy of artwork and protects the artist against fraudulent artwork.

Why does my greeting/postcard have small marks/freckles?

The cards are printed on 100% recycled card stock. Recycled paper is made from different grades of paper that are shredded into small pieces and then pressed and bonded together. Creating paper that is slightly speckled throughout, making each piece completely unique. Just like freckles on skin!
