My paintings are acrylic, graphite, (sometimes gold leaf) and cold wax on panel. Substrates are baltic birch custom created for me with custom cleats attached to the back of each painting allowing for ease of installation — all that is required for hanging is a nail in the wall. Bumpers are placed on the cleats in order to hug the wall, leaving no marks on the wall. Paintings "float" 2 inches from the wall.
