Mat
All prints are hinged to a conservation quality, acid-free and lignin-free Alpha Cellulose matboard, using an acid-free linen tape. The mat's surface paper is fade and bleed resistant and is attached to a conservation quality foam-core mounting board that will keep the work safe from deterioration over time. Artworks with a deckled or decorative edges will be floated on the matboard, with acrylic spacers to separate the art from the glazing. All mounting is fully reversible, without any potential damage to the art.
Acrylic Glazing
All of our frames come with picture quality .090 mm plexiglass, which blocks 66% of UV to prevent color fading from exposure to light, keeping your art protected for years to come. It is now considered the industry standard for artists, museums and galleries throughout the world.

Cynthia’s circular thinking manifests in her endless yearning for improvement through shopping. A reflection of her inner turmoil, the set of “Meta/Physical Therapy” is “an aquarium of penguins that’s embedded into the penguin race shape, morphing into each other,” Moulton explains.
“It’s similar to that constant search for the ultimate form of spirituality,” she says. “I’ve always looked for various forms of alternative or non-Western spirituality, and I’ve never really locked into
