FRAMING

I highly recommend having your artwork framed by a professional to assure protecting the piece for years of enjoyment. 

Here are some of my recommendations for framing:

1. The artwork if on paper may be either single or double matted, but should always be framed under Conservation glass to prevent damage and fading from ultraviolet light.
2. Pastels must always be matted or use spacers between the artwork and the glass to prevent pastel from touching the glass. I recommend cutting one mat a quarter inch smaller than the outer mat (mounting it invisibly under the outer mat) to create a space for any loose pastel to sift down into.  This prevents any accumulation of pastel on the edge of the outer mat.
3. Watercolor artwork must always be matted and framed under glass.
4. Mats come in all colors but the mat that best compliments my artwork is usually a light neutral or off white.
