Limited Edition Fine Art Prints | Museum Grade Cotton Rag

The Prints

Not copies. Not posters. Something else entirely.

I spent a long time getting this wrong before I got it right.

I tried different papers, different printers, different finishes. I ordered samples, held them up to the light, compared them to the originals, rejected most of them. Some were too flat. Some were too glossy. Some lost the depth that makes the paintings what they are. I wasn't willing to put my name on something that didn't feel worthy of the original work, so I kept going until I found a combination that did.

What you'll find in my print collection is the result of that process. Nothing was chosen for convenience or cost. Every decision was made with you in mind, so you get the highest quality representation of the original, texture, colour and brush-stroke.

The Paper

Each print is produced on 100% cotton rag museum-grade paper, the same standard used by galleries and institutions to archive work they intend to last for generations, they will likely out-live us all.

Cotton rag paper isn't wood pulp pressed flat. It's made from cotton fibres, which means it's inherently acid-free, lignin-free, and built to resist the yellowing and deterioration that affects cheaper papers over time. It has a softness and weight to it that you notice the moment you hold it. The ink sits differently on it, richer, deeper, with a texture that feels close to the painted surface rather than a flat reproduction of it.

Independent longevity testing of archival pigment prints on cotton rag paper consistently shows a display life of 60 to over 200 years under normal conditions. Stored carefully, that figure extends considerably further. These are not prints you'll be replacing in five years. They're the kind of thing you hand down.

The sizes and what they mean

I offer two types of print, and the distinction matters.

40 x 40cm, Signed and Embossed. These are open edition prints, meaning there is no limit on the number available. They are still printed on the same museum-grade cotton rag paper, and every single one is hand-signed and embossed by me. They are not numbered because the edition is not limited, but they carry the same quality, the same care, and the same signature as every other print I produce. For anyone who loves the work and wants to live with it, these are a beautiful and more accessible entry point.

50 x 50cm, 60 x 60cm, 70 x 50cm, 80 x 80cm, Signed, Numbered and Embossed These are limited to a maximum of 250 worldwide. No exceptions. No reprints. When they're gone, they're gone, that is a commitment I make and keep. Each one is hand-signed, individually numbered, and embossed with my artist's stamp. Your number is your number. Nobody else in the world owns the same piece in the same position in the edition.

Every limited edition print arrives with a certificate of authenticity. Hand-signed, numbered, and embossed by me, matching the print itself. It's your formal record of what you own, where it sits in the edition, and that it came directly from the artist. Keep it with the print.

The Emboss

Every print leaves my studio with a blind emboss a small, pressed mark made by hand using my artist's stamp. You can feel it in the paper. It's not printed on. It can't be replicated. It's the physical mark of my involvement in every single piece that goes out, and it's one of the ways I distinguish what I produce from a mass reproduction.

Why Limited Edition matters

The idea of a limited edition is sometimes treated as a marketing device. I understand the scepticism. The print world has its share of editions that aren't really limited, artists who reprint without disclosure, and numbers that are so high the word "limited" loses all meaning.

My editions are a genuine commitment. A maximum of 250 prints per size, per artwork, worldwide. No second runs. No extensions. The edition closes when it closes. I keep a full record of every print that leaves the studio.

Why does this matter to you as a buyer? Because scarcity is what protects the value of what you've bought, not just financially, but in terms of meaning. When fewer than 250 people in the world own a particular piece, it remains special. It doesn't end up on every other wall. It stays yours in a way that an open edition never quite can.

As a general principle, the smaller the edition and the larger the size, the more a print holds its place in a collection over time. A numbered 80 x 80cm print of a piece that resonates strongly is a considered acquisition, not an impulse buy and it should feel that way.

Your questions, answered honestly.

Is a print as good as an original? No and I won't pretend otherwise. An original painting is a unique object with physical presence, texture, and a life of its own. A print is a faithful, high-quality reproduction of that work on museum-grade paper. What it offers is the soul of the original, the colour, the composition, the feeling at a price point that makes the work accessible to people who love it but aren't in a position to own the original. Many collectors start with a print and return for an original. Many are completely happy with a print forever. Both are valid.

Will the colours match what I see on screen? Screens vary enormously in how they display colour, some are calibrated, most aren't. I work carefully to ensure that the prints are as faithful to the original paintings as possible, and the cotton rag paper renders colour with a depth and warmth that cheaper papers don't. That said, the colours you see on your screen may shift slightly depending on your device. If you're unsure about a specific piece, feel free to get in touch 

and I can send you additional reference images.

How should I care for my print? Keep it away from direct sunlight where possible, and frame it behind UV-filtering glass if you want to maximise its lifespan. Cotton rag prints stored or displayed correctly will outlast most of us. If you're storing it unframed, keep it flat in an acid-free sleeve or tube, away from humidity and heat. It doesn't need much, just a little care.

Do you provide frames? I don't supply frames with the prints, (glass breakage nightmares) but I've put together a dedicated framing guide on the website to help you make the right choice, covering styles, glazing options, and how to show the print at its best. You can find it here: How to frame your print.

How are they packaged for shipping? Every print is packed with the care you'd expect for something you've invest

ed in. Flat prints are sent in rigid board-backed packaging to prevent bending. Larger prints are rolled and sent in reinforced tubes with acid-free tissue. They are fully insured in transit and you will receive a tracking number with the shipping confirmation email.

Do you ship worldwide? Yes, everywhere. If you're outside of Europe, delivery times will vary, get in touch if you have a specific deadline and I'll do what I can.

What if something goes wrong in transit? In the unlikely event that your print arrives damaged, contact me immediately with photographs and I will sort it. I take full responsibility for getting the work to you in perfect condition.

Is the number on my print important? Each numbered print carries a fraction, for example, 47/250 showing its individual number within the total edition. The numbering is not sequential by order of purchase; prints are numbered at the time of signing. In practical terms, all pri

nts within an edition are identical in quality, the number is a record of authenticity and position within the edition, not an indicator of print quality.

A final thought

I didn't set out to produce prints as a secondary product. I set out to make something worth owning, something that carries the feeling of the original work into homes that the painting itself will never reach.

If you're standing on the edge of a decision, wondering whether it's worth it, the answer is that it's worth it if the work moves you. That's the only reason to buy art. Not investment. Not decoration. Because something in it speaks to something in you and you want to look at it and live with that feeling every day.

That's what these prints are for. Browse the collection
