What is a Giclee?
A "Giclee" print is a high quality, fade resistant, archival-grade reproduction of an original artwork. Giclees can be printed on various media such as canvas and paper.
What is a Matted Print on paper?
A matted print on paper is an open edition reproduction of an original painting on 100% recycled sugar cane paper and printed with high quality inks. These prints are then mounted on a firm backing and held in place by a mat board and include Heather Brown's signature on the mat.
What is a “Limited Edition” print?
A “Limited Edition” print, also known as an "LE," is a reproduction that is restricted in the number of copies produced. These editions are regulated under state consumer protection laws in order to ensure each print in its edition is accounted for.
What is an “Artist Proof” print?
An “Artist Proof” print, also known as an "AP," is an exclusive giclee print that is numbered outside of the original edition size, where traditionally only 25 Artist Proof canvases are offered per title. Each AP is signed and numbered (front and back) by the artist, gallery wrapped, and hand highlighted to give the canvas a special luster and texture similar to that on the original painting. It also comes with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) that give the details of the piece.
What is the sizing on your t-shirts?
Our shirts are made using traditional t-shirt sizing and are made to fit almost all body types. If you're not sure what size to get or if you're in-between sizes, we suggest ordering the next size up. Please refer to our SIZE CHARTS for more detailed information.
What does "Unisex Size" mean?
Unisex shirts have more of a boxy fit, that are comfortable for both men and women to wear.
