All works remain on their original studio stretchers or salvaged timber supports. Each surface displays direct palette knife incisions, wet-into-wet pigment washes, and exposed edge tacking photographed under authentic studio raking light.
Linen, timber, and transit
Canvases are stretched across kiln-dried South African pine chassis with unprimed selvedges folded and copper-tacked by hand. We intentionally leave the linen unvarnished to preserve natural flax slubs, allowing the heavy oil paint film to settle and breathe truthfully across decades.
Every canvas leaves the Barberton workspace inside custom slatted timber crates lined with moisture-barrier wrapping, archival glassine, and high-density foam. Shipments include a handwritten material ledger and physical provenance certificate signed directly at the studio easel.
Acquisitions and direct holds
Inquiries regarding canvas availability, physical condition sheets, and international crated shipping are answered directly from the studio workbench without gallery sales commissions or bureaucratic delay.
