Relief Prints

I aim to ship most of my pieces flat whenever possible. If your print arrives rolled, simply lay it flat for a day or two to allow the paper to relax; placing gentle weights at the corners can help speed up the process.

When framing, it’s important to ensure there is space between the artwork and the glass so the ink does not adhere over time. This can be achieved with framing spacers or traditional mats. My work is finished with a natural, raw edge—an intentional detail that adds character and individuality to each piece. Float framing allows this edge to remain visible, honoring the handmade nature of the work. If you prefer a more refined, clean-lined presentation, a mat will create that effect while still protecting the art.

No matter which framing route you choose, please make sure the artwork does not press directly against the glass. Over time, the ink can adhere to the glass, potentially damaging the print and making it difficult—or impossible—to reframe in the future. If you’re working with a local frame shop, feel free to share these recommendations so they can best honor the nature of the piece.

If you plan to frame the artwork yourself, look for frames that include spacers or a mat to provide the necessary separation from the glass. I’ve also added spacers to frames purchased without mats by sourcing them directly from my local frame shop.

Some collectors are drawn to hanging frames—often held by magnetic bars at the top and bottom and suspended from a simple cord. If this approach speaks to you, I recommend choosing a frame that matches the width of your artwork or is up to ½ inch wider for a balanced, considered fit.

Photography Prints

Your photography print is an archival giclée. She was created using archival inks on fine art paper for longevity and depth. To preserve her quality, handle with clean, dry hands and avoid touching the printed surface. Keep the artwork out of intense direct sunlight and away from areas with excess moisture or humidity.

When framing, again, always ensure there is space between the artwork and the glass using a mat or spacers. This allows the paper and ink to breathe and prevents long-term damage. Your print is meant to age beautifully and remain a influential presence in your space for years to come.

However take some freedom here! I personally vibe with “the bigger the better” when hanging photography in my home. I love a 30x40 print with a 2.5-3 inch white border or mat all around. I also think float framing a photo looks really nice in a deeper frame.

Jewelry

Your piece is made with gold vermeil—created by layering a thick coating of gold over a sterling silver base. This offers beauty, durability, and a hypoallergenic foundation designed for everyday wear.

To keep your jewelry looking its best over time, it’s recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to lotions, perfumes, etc. While gold vermeil is more resilient than standard gold plating, some ingredients can speed up tarnishing.

To clean, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid chemical cleaners or polishing agents. When not in use, store your jewelry in a soft pouch or separate box to help prevent scratches and slow tarnishing.

That said, jewelry is meant to be lived in! I wear my own pieces daily—through showers, swims, and time spent in the ocean—and they continue to shine beautifully with minimal change. Trust your rhythm and wear your piece in a way that feels natural to you!
