Caring for your Fine Art Canvas Gallery Wrap { St. Louis Children's Photographer }

I just adore large fine art canvas gallery wraps and I always get a lot of compliments on the ones hanging on the walls in my home. Instant conversation pieces that really stand out. The 3D look of a gallery-wrap is the first thing people notice. You really have to see it in person to get the full effect.

Your favorite image is printed directly onto fine art canvas with archival inks and stretched around a 1-1/2 inch deep frame. From there all of the prints are sprayed with a UV protectant that will seal and prevent the print from fading, cracking or drying out for at least 80-100 years. Once the print is received you can pull it right from the box and place it on the wall, there is no additional framing needed.

Here are a few tips on taking care of your custom work of art.
~ Prints can be wiped with a slightly damp, clean, chemical-free cloth
~ For optimum longevity, keep out of direct sunlight
~ Don’t place stretched prints too close to direct heat or high variations in temperature {cold/warm}
~ Canvas can be tightened if it becomes loose. You can purchase canvas retention at any craft store or on the internet. It can be sprayed on the BACK of the canvas and let dry overnight or for a few hours.
~ Touch up – You can touch up small spots in the canvas with thin-tipped markers if your canvas gets scratched or damaged. Be very careful when touching up specks. Artists can also use paint to touch up small blemishes if needed.
