Fine Art Print Buyer's Guide: Sizes, Materials & Framing
Choosing a piece of art shouldn't be confusing. Here's everything you need to pick the right print, size, and finish for your wall — in plain English. Still unsure? Ask me directly.
1. Choose your material
Every image is offered in three finishes. Same photograph — very different feel.
Museum Mount (Acrylic Facemount)
My finest presentation, and the truest to the Luminism work. The print is face-mounted to museum-grade acrylic, giving it depth, clarity, and a luminous, glass-like glow that makes the light in the image come alive. Choose it frameless for a clean modern edge, or set in a driftwood floater. If you want the piece to look the way I saw it — this is it.

Giclée Canvas
Archival pigment printed on fine art canvas. Warmer and more textural than acrylic, with no glare — lighter and more affordable, still museum-quality. A gallery-wrapped classic that suits almost any room.
Ready-to-Frame Premium Luster Photo Paper Prints
The most accessible way to own the work. Printed on premium luster photo paper in standard sizes, shipped flat and unframed so you can frame it your way. Same image, same gallery quality — ready for the frame of your choice.
2. Pick your size
Three standard sizes — and bigger or smaller by commission. Scale changes everything, so picture the wall:
- 20x30 — intimate. A single focal piece above a desk, a nightstand, or in a hallway.
- 26x40 — a true statement over a sofa, bed, or console.
- 40x60 — commanding. Fills a large wall and becomes the room. This is big — measure your wall first.
Need smaller or larger? Custom sizes run from 6 x 9 inches to 4x8 feet or bigger— see Commissions below.
3. Finish the frame
Two ways to finish it — plus one that's one of a kind.
- Frameless — clean, modern, edge-mounted. The image does the talking.
- Stinemates Driftwood Floater — a handcrafted driftwood floater that adds warmth and a coastal soul without boxing the image in.
- O.B. Reclaimed Pier Wood — the rarest option. Frames handmade from wood I salvaged from the Ocean Beach Pier before its demolition: a genuine piece of the pier, made permanent. A limited keepsake for anyone with memories there.

4. Care for your print
Made to last generations. Archival inks and materials resist fading for decades. For acrylic facemounts, dust with a soft, dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth — never a paper towel or household cleaner. Keep any print out of direct, all-day sunlight and it will hold its color for a lifetime.
5. Commissions & the Pentaptych
Want something made for your space? I take commissions — a specific location, a custom size, or a large-scale statement piece built around your wall.
One of my favorite formats is the pentaptych: a single sweeping scene carried across five panels layerd on top of one another. It moves a landscape through a room the way one frame never can — ideal for wide walls, lobbies, and open living spaces, and available in custom dimensions up to billboard size. Tell me the wall and the view you have in mind, and I'll build it.
