Frequently Asked Questions

What is "Augmented Reality (AR)"?

This is a VERY COOL feature on my website that allows you to view any one of my photographic impressions as it would actually look on a wall you would like to hang it (in your home, outdoors, or office, etc.). The Augmented Reality (AR) feature is found in the gallery ordering options (click on the AR button and follow the easy directions), and by using your smartphone, you can actually lie preview and see the true size and color of how my beautiful artwork would look on your wall, before you decide to purchase, helping you to see how it would fit both size-wise and decor-wise in the place you would like to hang it. This could help you make a better decision also when deciding between multiple pieces as well...

With COVID 19 worries and restrictions easing up, I'm optimistic and very hopeful to be able to once again begin showing my works during the spring, summer, and fall of 2023 in galleries and art shows and art festivals...understand however, that things still could change again in a moment's notice and nothing absolutely concrete and written in stone can be planned definitively for the 2022 year yet

My photographic impressions are sublimated (infused) into shiny gloss aluminum and mounted onto a floating hanger for a modern artistic display on any wall. And with my understanding of presenting my artwork on metal, and my experience with printing with metal for over 7 years, I know how to capture an image with my camera and work with the characteristics of the metal in a way so that every metal print of mine has an extra luminous glow, with some images looking like they are backlit (even though they are not).

Each metal print can be hung as is, or can be placed into any custom created frame, or one-of-a-king unique thematic frame that I design. Many of my photographic impressions can be cut into panels and displayed as a diptych, triptych, quadriptych, or in as many panels as you desire. These prints are EXTREMELY durable and can be hung just about anywhere, they are very much more versatile than any photo print. For outdoor security, or when being hung in public places, these can be hung with a locking hanger. Metal Prints can be hung by the pool (indoor or outdoor), on any outdoor wall of fence, in the shower/bathroom, in your RV or boat, in an office lobby, dining room, classroom, bedroom, over the fireplace...they can go just about anywhere you desire them.
