Studio-Grade Reproduction & Creative Services for Artists
You’ve poured everything into your work. The final presentation should honor that effort.
MHT Studio provides professional artwork digitization, archival fine art printing, and practical creative support through a collaborative, artist-to-artist approach.
I hold a BFA in Graphic Design from Frostburg State University and have spent years working across photography, publishing, public art, exhibitions, grants, and historic preservation. As Founder and Creative Director of Fade To Blue, I secured grant funding, recorded more than 100 oral histories, coordinated over 35 public photography sessions, and self-published a 1,000-copy hardcover history book. The project received the Maryland Historical Trust’s Excellence in Community Engagement Award, along with Governor’s, General Assembly, and Congressional citations.
From co-founding the Allegany National Photography Competition & Exhibition to serving on public art selection panels and grant committees, I understand the planning, technical decisions, and persistence required to move creative work from concept to completion.
Whether you are reproducing an original artwork, preparing an exhibition, producing a print edition, or developing a larger creative project, MHT Studio can help bring your vision across the finish line.
Fine Art Reproduction & Archival Printing
Every Project Begins With a Conversation
Every artist and project is different. We’ll begin with a complimentary 20-minute studio consultation to review your work, discuss how it will be presented, and identify the best approach for your goals and budget.
High-Resolution Artwork Digitization
Original artwork is professionally captured at high resolution to preserve detail, texture, color, and tonal range while creating an archival digital master suitable for reproduction, preservation, or publication.
The studio can accommodate projects ranging from individual portfolio pieces to demanding large-scale production, including the master digitization of Annie Kilcoyne’s original painting for the 2026 Decatur Street public mural.
Archival Fine Art Printing
Museum-quality giclée prints are produced on carefully selected Studio Collection and Museum Collection papers using an Epson SureColor P9000 with 10-color archival pigment inks.
Services are available for individual exhibition prints, limited editions, portfolios, and custom projects.

MHT Studio is entrusted to produce fine art prints and exhibition reproductions for The Arcadian Gallery’s International Photography Exhibition in downtown Cumberland.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
A: No, I focus exclusively on fine art scanning, Giclée printing, and career strategy. However, for artists who want items ready for gallery retail bins or art fairs, I do provide prints cleanly packed in professional presentation clear bags with rigid white backing boards.on text goes here
-
A: High-resolution TIFF or JPEG files are preferred. If you are uncertain about color spaces (like sRGB vs. Adobe RGB) or sizing, we can look over your files together during a soft-proofing session.
-
A: For a major exhibition or a large volume of retail inventory, I highly recommend reaching out at least 4 to 6 weeks before your deadline. This leaves ample room for scanning, paper selection, and physical proof adjustments.
-
A: The Studio Collection features bright white archival matte and premium luster sheets—like Canson Infinity Rag Photographique II (210gsm)—making it ideal for daily gallery work, photography, and standard artist editions. The Museum Collection upgrades your work to premium, heavy-weight 100% cotton rag and baryta stocks—such as Hahnemühle Photo Rag Bright White (308gsm)—offering deep texture, maximum archival permanence, and elite collector presentation
-
A: We fully accommodate non-standard dimensions using a custom square-foot rate ($13/sq. ft. for Studio; $17/sq. ft. for Museum). To calculate your price, multiply your width by your height in inches, divide by 144 to get the total square footage, and multiply by the collection rate. Please note there is a minimum one-square-foot charge per custom print.
-
A: Our standard Archival Gallery Presentation Kits (clear bag and rigid backing board) are optimized for standard menu sizes (8x10, 11x14, and 16x20). For custom dimensions, finishing and presentation materials are assessed on a project-by-project basis depending on available material sizes. Please mention your presentation needs when requesting a custom quote.
-
A: Please remove original physical artwork from frames, glass, or mattes prior to your studio session so we can capture the raw texture and detail without glare. If your original is fragile, oversized (past 24"x36"), or requires specialized historical restoration, let us know in advance so we can prepare the appropriate capture environment.
