Studio-Grade Reproduction & Creative Services for Artists
You’ve poured everything into your work; the final step should honor that effort with a partner who truly understands the journey. With a BFA in Graphic Design from Frostburg State and deep roots in our regional arts ecosystem, I created this studio to offer more than just technical precision, I offer a collaborative partnership grounded in execution.
My approach is best defined by my work as Founder and Creative Director of Fade To Blue. Over multiple years, I navigated complex grant funding, recorded over 100 oral histories, coordinated 35+ public photography sessions with local government officials, and self-published a 1,000-copy hardcover history book. That initiative earned the Maryland Historical Trust’s Excellence in Community Engagement Award, alongside Governor’s, General Assembly, and Congressional Citations.
From co-founding the Allegany National Photography Competition & Exhibition (ANPCE) to evaluating public art and serving on grant committees, I understand the technical, financial, and emotional hurdles of bringing a creative vision to life. Whether we are digitizing your first physical original, mapping out a grant budget, or preparing a gallery run, I bring that same archival rigor, strategic problem-solving, and relentless tenacity to your project. Let’s collaborate and cross the finish line together.
FINE ART REPRODUCTIONS
Fine Art Reproduction & Master Print Creation
We speak the same language. I understand the frustration of a print that doesn't match the colors you carefully mixed on canvas or captured in camera. Using a professional Epson SureColor P9000 with archival pigment inks and an elite gallery selection of Hahnemühle and Canson papers, I treat your art files with the same technical rigor I demand for my own preservation work.
High-Resolution Digitization: We scan your physical originals or historic family photos at ultra-high resolutions, capturing every physical brushstroke, pencil line, and paper texture into a pristine digital master file.
Collaborative Soft-Proofing: Don't guess what your work will look like. We can sit down together to review color profiles and on-screen gamuts side-by-side, making precise adjustments before a single drop of ink hits the page.
Physical Artist Proofing: Hard-copy proofs are available upon request so you can physically hold, inspect, and approve your color fidelity before we execute a full production or edition run.
Flexible Fine Art Press Runs: Tailored production for individual exhibition centerpieces, limited-edition numbered print runs, or custom fine art photography portfolios on your choice of premium photo or matte finishes

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.
