Art Formats for Southwest Art
Find the Right Way to Bring My Art Into Your Home
Every collector, every wall, and every budget is different. That’s why I offer my Southwest art in several carefully selected formats—from one-of-a-kind original paintings to limited editions, canvas, luminous metal prints, fine art prints, and smaller gift art.
Whether you’re looking for the depth and character of an original painting, the added hand-painted details of a Limited Edition Hand-Embellished Giclée, or the brilliant contemporary finish of a metal print, each format offers a different way to experience my colorful vision of Sedona and the Southwest.
Explore the choices below to find the art format that best fits your home, your style, and the way you want to enjoy the artwork.

Limited Edition Hand-Embellished Giclées
A Closer Connection to the Original
My Limited Edition Hand-Embellished Giclées offer collectors something between an original painting and a traditional fine art reproduction.
Each begins as a museum-quality giclée reproduction and is individually enhanced by me with hand-painted details and fluorescent acrylic accents. These additions give each piece extra dimension, texture, and personality while bringing it closer to the visual experience of the original.
Editions are limited to just 25, and each is signed and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
At approximately one-third the cost of the original painting, a Hand-Embellished Giclée offers a more accessible way to own a limited, personally enhanced piece of my art.
Best for: Collectors who want exclusivity, hand-painted details, fluorescent accents, and a closer connection to the original without purchasing the one-of-a-kind painting.
Choosing the Right Art Format
Original vs Hand-Embellished Giclée
Originals are one-of-a-kind paintings. Hand-Embellished Giclées are finished by hand at the same size, often reading very close to an original in person.
Hand-Embellished vs Canvas
Hand-Embellished editions include real texture and individual variation. Canvas Giclées are beautifully printed reproductions without added surface work.
Which should I choose?
Choose an Original for full collector value, Hand-Embellished for originality at a lower investment, or Canvas for an accessible presentation.

Original Paintings
There’s nothing quite like owning an original.
My original paintings are one-of-a-kind works created by hand in my Sedona-area studio. Every brushstroke, texture, color choice, and detail is part of the original surface—making the painting you own the only one of its kind.
Many of my newer Southwest paintings are created with fluorescent acrylics. In normal light, they display the vivid colors and dramatic skies that have become part of my style. Under black light, selected colors come alive with an entirely different glow, revealing a second personality that reproductions cannot fully duplicate.
For collectors looking for the most personal and exclusive connection to my work, the original painting is the ultimate choice.
Best for: Collectors who want the one-of-a-kind artwork, the richest expression of my technique, and something that can never be duplicated.
Canvas Gallery Wraps
A Classic Fine Art Presentation
Canvas Gallery Wraps bring my colorful Southwest landscapes to life with the texture and presence of traditional canvas.
The artwork is professionally reproduced on high-quality canvas and stretched around a sturdy frame, with the image continuing around the edges. The result is a clean, finished presentation that can be displayed without an additional frame.
Canvas is especially well suited to Sedona landscapes, panoramic scenes, dramatic skies, and larger wall art because its subtle texture gives the image a warm, painterly quality.
Best for: Collectors who want the look and feel of traditional canvas with a clean, ready-to-hang presentation.

Float-Framed Canvas
A Finished, Gallery-Style Look
For collectors who prefer a more formal presentation, a Float-Framed Canvas adds a contemporary frame around the canvas while leaving a small space between the artwork and frame.
This creates the illusion that the artwork is floating inside the frame and gives the piece additional depth and presence on the wall.
The combination of canvas texture and a finished outer frame works beautifully in living rooms, dining areas, offices, entryways, and other spaces where you want the artwork to make a stronger statement.
Best for: Collectors who love canvas but want the added presence and polished appearance of a frame.

Luminous Metal Prints for Southwest Art:
Bold, radiant metal prints make the stunning colors of the Southwest come alive on your walls. These luminous metal prints are created using a dye sublimation process that infuses the image directly into a specially coated aluminum surface, producing exceptionally vivid color, rich detail, and a sleek, contemporary finish.
Unlike a print that sits on top of a surface, dye sublimation allows the image to become part of the aluminum coating itself. This makes metal prints exceptionally durable and resistant to moisture, scratches, and fading. With proper care, they can maintain their brilliant appearance for decades. Reducing prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and UV light will help preserve their vivid colors for years to come.
Perfect for showcasing my colorful Southwest art and Sedona landscape paintings, metal prints offer a modern presentation that enhances brilliant skies, glowing red rocks, and intense desert colors. They are suitable for indoor display and many protected outdoor settings.
When hung, your artwork floats approximately ¾ inch off the wall, creating a luminous, clean, and contemporary presentation that lets the artwork take center stage.
Best for: Collectors who love bold color, luminous detail, a modern frameless appearance, and an exceptionally durable art surface.

Luminous Metal Prints
Gift Art Photo Plaques
Small Art That Makes a Memorable Gift
My Gift Art Photo Plaques offer a fun and affordable way to enjoy some of my most popular Sedona and Southwest artwork in a smaller format.
These vibrant plaques require no traditional frame and are designed for easy display on a desk, shelf, bookcase, nightstand, or other small space. They are a wonderful choice when a larger piece of wall art isn’t practical—or when you’re looking for a colorful gift from Sedona.
Their compact size also makes them easy to give for birthdays, holidays, housewarmings, thank-you gifts, or simply as a reminder of a favorite visit to the Southwest.
Best for: Gifts, desks, shelves, small spaces, and anyone looking for an easy and affordable introduction to my art.

Giclée Art Prints
Fine Art Quality at an Accessible Price
Giclée art prints offer an affordable way to enjoy my colorful Southwest art while preserving the detail, color, and character of the original painting.
Created using high-quality archival inks and fine art printing techniques, each giclée captures the vivid colors, subtle details, and dramatic contrasts found throughout my Sedona landscapes and Southwest paintings.
Because paper giclée prints can be framed to match your own décor, they are also one of the most versatile ways to display my art. Choose a simple contemporary frame, traditional Southwest styling, or something completely your own.
Giclée art prints are especially well suited for smaller spaces, gallery walls, offices, bedrooms, and collectors who enjoy choosing their own framing.
Best for: Collectors looking for fine art quality, flexibility in framing, and an affordable way to bring colorful Southwest art into their home.
