Cleaning and Dusting

How to Clean and Care for Your Artwork

Originals

Use a dry feather duster to gently dust the front and sides. Avoid touching the surface with your hands or using anything wet. Moisture can damage the paint, smudge ink or graphite, or dimple the canvas. Never rub or wipe.

Prints

Clean prints the same way: gently dust with a feather duster. Avoid cloths, sprays, or any rubbing, as this can damage the image or affect the surface texture, especially on canvas.

Framed Prints Behind Glass

You may clean the glass using a glass cleaner sprayed onto a soft cloth (not directly on the glass). Gently wipe without pressing too hard to prevent moisture from seeping into the frame.

Proper care keeps your artwork vibrant and intact for years to come.
