Verified Archival Materials Used

The Art Storefronts Organization has verified that this Art Seller has published information about the archival materials used to create their products in an effort to provide transparency to buyers.

Description from Merchant:

My original paintings on "synthetic paper" are done on a variation of Tyvek, a product by DuPont, also known as “spunbonded olefin”. It is archival, water-resistant, mold-resistant, and will not rot. I've been painting on this substrate for over 30 years. If the synthetic paper is adhered to a cradled wood panel for mounting and framing, it is done using a starch-based adhesive. Wood panels have a basswood surface and pine frame, and are manufactured or maximum archival stability and longevity. Acrylic inks used are mainly Daler & Rowney FW, which are archival, acrylic-based, pigmented, pH-neutral/acid-free, and water-resistant. I also occasionally use Amsterdam acrylic inks, which have similar qualities, but seem to have a bit more pigment in them. Canvases are usually Blick Studio or Blick Premier, all of which have multiple coats of acid-free titanium gesso. Occasionally I've worked on Ampersand Gessobord, a high-quality wood panel made from sustainable forest products that is formaldehyde-free and contains no harmful volatile organic compounds. The fine art prints manufactured by Bay Photo are all made with archival inks and on acid-free substrates.
