Visit me in Port Townsend. Contact me to set up a meeting at ZEE TAI Collective. 918 Water St, Port Townsend, WA.

 

Shipping: I generally ship items within a day or two of your purchase via Priority Mail. Feel free to contact me if you'd rather buy a piece without a shipping fee, and pay for shipping after the exact amount is known based on the size and weight of the item and your location. Occasionally this website makes BIG mistakes on shipping costs. I will contact you if something went wrong and your shipping cost of $2 should have been more like $200.

​

Prices: My prices are based mainly on size and sometimes the amount of time invested in creating the piece. Some of them are negotiable. Email, text or call me if you see something you really want, but can't afford. Payments plans and rentals are also possible.

Materials Notes:

 

Paper: Fabriano Artistico and Arches, acid free, 140lb. I prefer to stretch wet paper over wood panels which makes something like a paper 'canvas' to paint on. Always flat. When needed artwork is isolated from wood panels with plastic or foil that is sandwiched between the panel and paper. 

 

Paints and Ink: I use Windsor and Newton, Sennelier,  M. Graham, Daniel Smith, Holbein watercolor paints etc. I also make paint myself using natural earth pigments gum Arabic and honey. These paints are archival, extremely lightfast and totally non-toxic. Many historically important pigments are still available today as they have been for as long as humans have been crushing rocks to make colors. Ink is usually permanent carbon based India ink. Sometimes I use alcohol or acrylic painting pens. All my pieces have superior fade resistance. (All original art is best hung out of direct sunlight) 

 

Sealing Wax: For framed pieces, I seal paintings with Gamblin Cold Wax Medium. This adds a very thin layer of completely clear bees wax on top of the painting which permanently seals it. Sometimes I put it on thick for textural effects. This allows gentle dusting and eliminates the need for glass. This wax layer can be scratched by something hard rubbing it. A scratch like this can be buffed out, OR a fresh wax layer can be safely applied. Call me for details on how to do this. It's pretty fun, easy and safe. I can do it for you also, if needed.

 

Frames: I build my own frames in my woodshop. Woods include Western Red Cedar, Poplar, Cherry, Oak, etc etc. I oil these with a butcher block oil - mineral oil, beeswax mixture. You can always re-oil them if you're crafty and want a darker look - ask me about this if interested. 

​

If you ever have a question about or problem with a painting or frame, please contact me and I will be happy to help. I am very committed to creating archival, non-toxic, artworks and frames of the highest quality which are built to last a lifetime.
