Print Process and Materials
All artworks are printed using archival-grade pigments. A natural, heavyweight textured cotton, free of optical brighteners is used for paper prints. Canvas prints are printed on exhibition grade matte canvas and coated with a water-based varnish, which protects against UV ray damage and cracking. The materials and process ensure long-term, archival stability for both paper and canvas prints.
Sizing
Unframed (rolled) print dimensions are exact to what is shown on the store. For example, a 16x20" paper print measures 16" by 20" including the 3/4" white boarder. An unframed 30x40" canvas print includes a 2.5" border, for a total dimension of 35x45" (the image area is 30x40").
Framed canvas prints will add 1 1/4" to each dimension. For example, the outside dimensions of a 30x40" framed canvas will measure 31 1/4 x 41 1/4". Framed paper prints add 1" to each dimension. For example, the outside dimensions of a 16x20" framed paper print will measure 17 x 21" with the frame.
Framing Options
Prints are available framed or, if you'd prefer to manage framing yourself, you can purchase an unframed (rolled) print.
Unframed paper prints have a 3/4" white border, within which is Victoria's signature.
Rolled canvas prints include a 2-inch natural canvas border which allows for stretching on bars up to 1 1/2" deep (we like 3/4" bars).
Framed paper prints are protected with a UV-blocking acrylic and are available in all sizes except for 55X55". Framed canvas is stretched over 3/4" bars and installed in custom made floater frames. Available in sizes 30x40" and larger. All frames are made to order.
When will the original painting be available?
The original painting will go on sale during an online auction held at the end of this year. Dates TBA. Mailing list subscribers will be the first to know of any updates and details.
5th piece of the Sanctuary Collection
Homecoming
The story...
August 2024
The fifth piece in this collection - Homecoming - portrays the feeling of coming home, painted during sunset in the hills where I grew up.
Nostalgia runs deep
For me, home is both a place and feeling. This field was the same place I ran through as a child to reach the forest for endless imaginary play, and the same field where Mike and I farmed sheep in our first year of marriage.
A place of belonging
There is something deep down calling us home. Like an eternal and endless echo reminding us to belong. This painting captures that feeling.
