What is a varnished print ? -- Varnished Ink on Paper  

These are printed on rag paper with archival pigment inks, then varnished with acrylic varnish, mounted on canvas or canvas board, and framed.  The varnish adds a luminance to the print, and the mounting and framing provide a formal and attractive presentation.  For a little more background on my journey to develop this method of presentation, please see the bottom of this page.

Varnished prints are available either mounted on canvas unframed, or mounted on canvas and framed.  Immediately below are works available in my studio finished and framed, and their prices.  At the bottom of the page there is a price list by common size for prints varnished and mounted on canvas, but without frames.

All of these prints are numbered within the edition limits that I have set for each size.  Prices for the last numbers in an edition may be higher.

Some Background - Varnished Ink on Paper  

About ten years ago the world changed for me with the appearance of inkjet printers with archival pigment inks.  Suddenly it was possible to make a fine color print myself and print it on papers with substance.  The ability to make my own color prints is wonderful, it gives me control over the result, and it gives me the ability to continuously tweak and explore an image, looking for its full potential.

As I took these wonderful prints away from my printer I delighted in the qualities of the ink on the paper, and it was always with regret that I went on to the next necessary step, framing them under glass for protection.  Suddenly I felt a barrier between myself and my prints.

So I decided to remove the barrier.  I spent five years experimenting with different varnishes and settled on a materials system developed for acrylic painters.  I use acrylic varnishes to coat the surface of the prints.  I airbrush the varnish on to achieve a fine matte finish.  I use matte medium as my “glue” to affix the print to a canvas support -- either a canvas-covered board or a stretched canvas.  I got this idea after I learned that the Expressionist painters had done a lot of work on paper and then mounted the paper on canvas.

I am happy with the result.  I feel that my work gains luminance and remains accessible, but is protected from the chemicals and moisture in the air and the fading power of light.
