Printing Standards

Printing Standards
Limited Edition and Vignette series prints Images created for exhibitions typically represent a specific body of work where the images share a common theme and a unique quality. To create and maintain this quality, I personally produce these prints myself. Currently, they are only available through my online Etsy shop and are printed to the standards outlined below.
Custom orders In some cases, images in my online galleries are not listed as available for purchase. If you would like one of these, or if you are interested in a variation not listed, please contact me here or place a request through my Etsy shop by clicking on the Request Custom Order button in the left-hand panel. We can discuss what would work best for you, and I can create a private listing for you in my Etsy shop. Prints requested as custom orders are always signed, titled and dated and printed to the standards below		__
