PHOTO ART ON CANVAS


The Creative Process

Producing Photo Art on Canvas involves more than taking a photograph. Creating a digital photograph for printing and/or enlarging involves multiple steps. Selecting the appropriate image is the first step. What looks great on camera and/or computer screen may not translate well onto canvas. Also, the content of a single photograph does not always transform into a standard shape or size for wall art. Some images are cropped to create the best perspective and others colour enhanced to create a bolder more artistic canvas. My goal is to respect the integrity of the original photograph and produce canvasses that are authentic. I carefully consider the crop points of each image when determining the final size. Some of my canvasses are tightly cropped and others barely cropped at all. Each canvas is identified by width then height in inches and is mirror wrapped around the edge of the stretcher bar for a seamless presentation.


Shipping

Your canvas will be printed and mounted then shipped approximately 2 weeks after your order date. 

Shipping to Canada and the continental United States is included. Shipping to other locations will require a quote before purchase.


Canvas Quality

Photo Art on Canvas is a high quality canvas product, unlike what you'll see mass produced for big box stores.

The photograph is transformed into art using Giclée inks to achieve the most vivid and high-definition prints possible and printed on an archival quality acid-free canvas that has a timeless print laminate. The canvas surface is smooth and highly water-resistant.

Each canvas print is made on-demand and expertly stretched onto a stretcher bar. A stretcher bar is the wooden frame that the canvas is secured to. The canvas is stretched and stapled to the stretcher bar to create tension, making the canvas strong and creating smooth flat artwork surface.


Canvas Size

Each canvas is available in two size options measured by width x height in inches. If you wish to order a custom size or have it framed, please request a quote via my contact page. 

Your Canvas will arrive ready to hang, with hanging accessories mounted and no additional framing required. The staples used for securing the canvas on each side are not visible.


Canvas Depth

Canvasses are professionally stretched onto a 1 1/2" deep stretcher bar with the image mirror wrapped around the edge for a more modern frameless presentation.

If you would like a thinner profile for your canvas, only 3/4-inch deep, please send a note through the contact page identifying which canvas and size you need.


Framing Option

If you are interested in a custom frame please send a note throug the contact page identifying which canvas and size you need. Final dimensions are dependent upon the stretcher bar construction and the wrapping technique.  If you wish to frame the canvas yourself please purchase the frame after you have received the canvas art to ensure you have the proper size.


Canvas Display

Display your canvas art in a moisture-free environment. Make sure washrooms are well vented. Display your canvas at a safe distance from any sources of direct heat such as a fireplace or radiator. Keep your canvas away from direct sunlight and intense reflected light from mirrors, glass, etc. 


Canvas Cleaning

To clean your canvas, run a soft feather duster over the front and top of your canvas periodically to remove settled dust. To remove marks from the canvas try using a soft damp cloth and rub very gently over the area affected. Be careful not to press to hard as you may dimple the canvas. Avoid using any form of liquid, chemical or spray products to clean your canvas.


Canvas Transport

When transporting or storing your canvas art please cover it with a hard surface cardboard to protect it. The canvas material may dimple if it comes in contact with pointed or sharp objects.
