Framed or Unframed — What to Expect
Choosing Your Print Finish
Whether you choose a framed or unframed print, your artwork will be created with the same care and intention — to bring warmth, movement, and meaning into your space.
Below is a simple guide to help you understand the presentation, materials, and overall look you can expect when selecting your artwork.
Framed Prints:
Framed prints arrive fully finished with a polished, gallery-inspired presentation — designed to complement the artwork's movement and texture without overpowering it. If you’re looking for an effortless experience or a piece that feels immediately complete on your wall, framing is often the easiest choice.
Warm, Natural Pine Frames
All framed prints are finished in natural pine, chosen for its soft warmth and organic character. The subtle wood tone adds depth while keeping the overall look minimal and timeless.
Because pine is a natural material, slight variations in grain and tone are part of its beauty.
Paper Prints — Framed
Paper prints are framed without a traditional mat. Instead, the built-in white border creates the visual effect of matted artwork while maintaining a clean, modern feel.
Each framed paper print is made with pine and finished with clear acrylic — a lightweight, durable material selected for its clarity and shatter-resistance, helping the artwork travel safely and hang beautifully in everyday spaces.
- Includes a ~2” white border
- Digitally signed by the artist
- Finished with clear acrylic glazing
- Clean, gallery-style presentation
- Arrives ready to hang
Canvas Prints — Framed
Canvas prints are finished in a slim pine floater frame for a refined, gallery-inspired look. A subtle shadow gap creates the illusion that the artwork is floating within the frame — similar to how many original paintings are presented in exhibitions.
- Thin, modern floater frame
- Clean, full-bleed presentation (no border or signature)
- Subtle shadow gap for depth
- Structured, elevated presentation
- Arrives ready to hang
Unframed Prints
Unframed finishes give you more freedom to customize your presentation – a beautiful option if you prefer to frame your artwork locally or DIY your frame selection.
Paper Prints — Unframed
Paper prints include a soft white border that creates breathing room around the artwork and gives it a refined, gallery-style presence even before framing.
- Includes a ~2” white border
- Digitally signed by the artist
- Ships flat or rolled, depending on size
- Ideal if you plan to frame the art yourself or at a local framer
Canvas Prints — Unframed
Unframed canvas prints arrive fully stretched over 1.5" deep stretcher bars, offering a clean, modern look that’s still ready to hang on its own.
- Wrapped around 1.5" deep stretcher bars
- Full-bleed artwork (no border or signature)
- Sides finished in a solid color chosen to complement the palette
- Ready to hang without any additional framing
Thoughtfully Made, Ready to Live With
Every finish — framed or unframed — is designed to support the artwork while keeping color, movement, and texture the focus. My goal is to support a presentation that feels timeless, natural, and easy to live with, whether you’re beginning a collection or adding to an existing gallery wall.
