DELIVERY INFORMATION
Paintings picked up at the Studio may be framed*. Many paintings shown on this website have already been framed with glass. Plexiglass is an option vs. glass for more robust handling results...ask if you are interested. Only watercolors or oils will be shipped and will include a presentation mat*, which is reflected in the size, as a minimum. Pastels will not be shipped as the media will not withstand the rigors of shipping (arrangements for pickup at the studio can be made).

CONSERVATION GLASS FRAMING AS AN ADDED COST ALTERNATIVE
Today there is more interest than ever before in protecting works of art from the harmful effects of light exposure. Fortunately, there are also more ways to achieve that protection.
THE PROBLEM
The real culprit is ultraviolet light which can cause color loss, paper embrittlement and deterioration of artwork. The part of the electromagnetic spectrum that contains ultraviolet rays ranges from 200-400 nanometers.
Because the earth's atmosphere blocks the light waves in the 200-300 nanometer range, they are of less concern to conservators than those from 300-400 nanometers. The shorter the wavelength, the more damage can result, so light waves close to 300nm cause more damage than waves closer to 400 nm.
THE SOLUTION
Museum and conservation professionals recommend UV blocking levels at a minimum of 97% filtration in the 300-380 nm range. Conservation glass has a coating that converts ultraviolet light waves into energy that is emitted in the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
