How do I purchase the art?
You can purchase art directly through this website, or you can contact me to arrange payment directly. I accept paypal, venmo, and cashapp.
How will the art come to me?
All printmaking purchases will be come with a white mat. It will have a backing board and will come in a cellophane envelope. Shipping within the continental United States is free. Contact me for pricing to other locations or for pickups locally (Denver Metro area)
What size frame do I need to buy?
For 5” x 7” linocuts or monotypes, the mat size will be 8” x 10” and it can put put into an 8” x 10” frame, which is a standard sized frame you can purchase on Amazon or Michael’s.
Is each piece different?
Yes. Even though prints are created from the same carved block, each one is hand-inked and hand-pressed, which means small variations naturally occur. These subtle differences in ink texture, pressure, and placement give each print its own character. No two impressions are exactly alike, making every print an original work of art. If watercolor accents are added by hand, this adds another layer of individuality to each piece.
How do I care for this artwork?
Keep your art out of sustained, direct sunlight to prevent fading. Although the ink and watercolor elements are professional grade and meant to be lightfast, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight will begin to fade the piece over time.
What does the writing at the bottom of the print mean?
The numbers on a print, such as “3/40,” show its place in a limited edition. The first number (3) is the individual print’s number, and the second (40) is the total number of prints made in that edition. So “3/40” means it’s the third print out of forty. “EV” stands for Édition Variée, meaning the prints are part of the same edition but intentionally vary in some way — for example, through different colors or hand-painted details.
Sometimes you may also see a note like “State I” or “State II.” This indicates that the artist made changes to the block or plate partway through printing, creating a distinct version (or “state”) of the image. Numbering and labeling states helps collectors and buyers understand which version of the artwork they’re purchasing and keeps the edition clear and transparent.
Once a complete edition is sold, it will never be produced again. This is part of what makes limited edition prints special — they are finite, collectible works of art.
Are the prints only signed on the mat?
No. Each piece is signed both on the mat and directly on the print itself in the same way. This ensures that the signature remains with the artwork even if the mat is ever changed or removed. Signing both adds authenticity and helps protect the integrity of the piece over time.

How do I purchase the art?

How will the Fiber Art come to me?
All fiber art purchases will be attached to a backing mat board with heavy thread or with velcro. I protect all the edges and wrap the entire piece to prevent excess wear and tear on the fibers and edges during shipping. Shipping within the continental United States is free. Contact me for pricing to other locations or for pickups locally (Denver Metro area)
Do I have to keep the artwork on the backing board?
No. The piece can also be easily removed from the backing board without affecting the artwork. It is attached with thread that is only sewn through the back of the piece and can be snipped and pulled out without destroying the artwork. Pieces fastened with velcro can be removed carefully to prevent pulling.
How can I frame the Fiber art?
The backing board will be four to six inches larger than the fiber artwork, in width and height (rounded up) and can be put in a frame as-is (a 12x12 artwork will be attached to an 18x18 board, and can be framed with an 18x18 frame).
Shouldn't it be framed behind glass?
Depending on the thickness of the piece, if you want it to be behind glass you will likely want a shadow-box style frame. Note that if framed behind glass, the 3D nuances might be less visible and non-glare glass is recommended. If the piece is very flat, it could be framed behind glass with the use of spacers or mats. Please consult with a framing specialist about this.
If you decide to allow the artwork to be open to the air, you can put it in a regular frame (without glass). You can also frame it in a floater frame by attaching the backing board to the back of the floating frame with strong double-sided tape.
How do I care for this artwork?
Keep your art out of sustained, direct sunlight to prevent fading.
Treat it as a delicate object, like any piece of original art.
Avoid touching or stroking the surface of the art as this could pull the wool away from the backing.
Check it regularly to monitor for dust.
To clean, lightly dab various parts of the picture with a feather duster or similar. Do not rub the feather duster back and forth but dab at the picture.
You can also use a can of compressed air at a distance to blow off any dust. Test this first on a small area to make sure it does not force the fibers away from the backing.
What do I do if the wool pulls away during cleaning?
If wool pulls away, it often can be patted back into place. I can also be contacted for repair suggestions. I can also repair art if needed; contact me for pricing and details.
