What is Image Wrap?

“Image wrap” means the image continues around the sides of the canvas. This is achieved using mirrored or extended edges from the original artwork—so the main image is never cropped. The result is a polished, frameless presentation that suits any space.

Our watercolor paper prints are museum-quality fine art reproductions made with care in our Massachusetts studio. Printed on luxurious, archival cotton paper and hand-signed by the artist, each print is designed to preserve the color, texture, and detail of the original painting for years to come.

Key Features:

• Archival Fine Art Paper:
  
  We use 100% cotton mould-made watercolor papers that are acid-free, lignin-free, and chlorine-free for exceptional longevity.
  
  
• Premium Weight & Texture:
  
  Papers are carefully selected—smooth or textured depending on the image—and range from 285gsm to 315gsm for a substantial, luxurious feel.
  
  
• Color-Proofed & Professionally Printed:
  
  Each print is color-proofed and produced using a wide-format EPSON printer with UltraChrome archival pigmented inks, offering vibrant color and superior resistance to fading, water, and smudging.
  
  
• Hand-Signed Limited Editions:
  
  Every print is hand-signed and titled by the artist. All prints are part of a limited edition series, making them a meaningful and collectible piece.
  
  
• Ready for Framing:
  
  Prints include a 2-inch white border around the image to accommodate matting and framing. We recommend framing under glass or Plexiglas with an acid-free mat to preserve the artwork.
  
  
• Shipping & Care:
  
  Each print is shipped rolled in a protective tube with a 3-day processing time and free 2–3 day shipping. Care instructions are included with every order.
  
  

Choosing a frame is a personal decision and often depends on your interior, budget, and the look you want for the artwork. Many customers choose to display our stretched canvas prints exactly as they arrive — ready to hang with image-wrapped edges that create a clean, gallery-style presentation without the need for additional framing.

In fact, several customers have told us that after seeing the finished canvas print in person, they felt that “no frame was needed.”

However, framing can certainly enhance a piece depending on your interior style and preferences.

Canvas Prints (Ready to Hang)

Our canvas prints are professionally stretched over solid wood stretcher bars and arrive ready to display right out of the box.

Do Canvas Prints Need a Frame?

No — framing is completely optional.

The image wraps around the sides of the canvas, creating a finished appearance that works beautifully without a traditional frame. This modern gallery-wrap presentation is one of the reasons canvas prints are so popular.

Recommended Frame Style for Canvas Prints

If you would like to frame your stretched canvas print, we generally recommend a simple “floating frame” (also called a floater frame).

A floating frame surrounds the canvas while leaving a small gap between the artwork and the frame edge, creating a clean contemporary look without covering the image.

For common canvas sizes such as 12x12, 12x18, 16x20, 18x24, 24x24, 24x36,   etc., ready-made floating frames are sometimes available online through retailers such as:

• Amazon
• Jerry's Artarama
• Blick Art
• Frame It Easy
• American Frame

Custom framing is also an option if you are trying to match existing furniture, trim, or interior colors.  

Glass Is Not Necessary for Canvas Prints

Each canvas print includes a protective UV coating that helps protect the artwork from:

• Moisture
• Humidity
• Atmospheric contaminants
• UV/light exposure

The coated surface may also be gently cleaned with a soft microfiber cloth lightly dampened with water.

Framing Fine Art Paper Prints

Our fine art paper prints ship rolled in a protective tube and will require framing before display.

Customers generally have two options:

Option 1 — Ready-Made Frames

If your print is a standard size, you may be able to find an affordable ready-made frame online or at a local craft or home décor store.  

Some popular online ready-made framing resources:

• Jerry's Artarama
• Blick Art

You may also wish to add a mat board around the artwork for a more finished gallery presentation.

Some popular online framing resources include:

• American Frame
• Frame It Easy
• Framebridge
• Level Frames

Option 2 — Custom Framing

For the best fit and presentation, many customers choose to bring their print to a professional local framer.

A custom framer can help with:

• Mat color selection
• Frame style selection
• UV protective glass or acrylic
• Sizing and spacing
• Matching existing décor

This option is especially helpful for larger prints or non-standard sizes.

Important Recommendations for Fine Art Paper Prints

To help preserve your print over time, we recommend the following archival framing practices:

• Use acid-free mat boards and mounting materials
• Prevent the artwork from directly touching the glass or acrylic
• Use archival or reversible mounting methods whenever possible
• Hinge mounting is generally preferred
• Avoid permanent “dry mounting” methods

Permanent mounting adhesives may discolor or damage fine art prints over time and can make future conservation impossible.

Our General Recommendation

If you prefer a clean, modern presentation with minimal effort, our stretched canvas prints are usually the easiest option because they arrive ready to hang and often look complete without a frame.

If you enjoy selecting mats and frames or want a more traditional presentation, fine art paper prints offer greater flexibility for custom framing and interior design coordination.

Either way, framing is ultimately a matter of personal taste — the most important thing is choosing a presentation that you enjoy in your home or workspace.

All paintings are original, one-of-a-kind works created on stretched, gallery-wrapped canvas or linen. Each piece is crafted with lasting materials and professional care, ensuring beauty and durability for years to come. 

The original acrylic paintings are stretched and "Gallery Wrapped" with staples on backside. The Canvases or Linens are primed and sealed with a special acrylic Gesso formulation on both sides. All wood stretchers are primed and sealed in the same manner with very strong cross-braces. The colors in the paintings are permanent and Guaranteed "light-fast" and will never crack. 

All paintings are easily cleaned and are provided with instructions for care and maintenance. Every Painting is ready to hang.

James Morton has had the rare opportunity to view paintings he created over 50 years ago in private collections. When properly cared for, the acrylic paintings still look as vibrant and pristine as the day they were painted.

Private commissions are available upon request with negotiable terms, and inquiries are always welcome.

In making these digital woodcuts, I first compose a specially prepared collage of my own digital photographs. Once satisfied with the composition of these photos, it is introduced to the woodcut imaging software.

It is within this software that the image may take any form chosen. It is possible to generate coarse or refined woodcut lines or shapes to define image forms. It is, in truth, a digital carving! As with any other media, it depends upon the skill and invention of the artist.

The next step is the choosing of the color palette. This can be as broad or as limited as chosen.

Texture, transparent colors, layering etc. can also be implemented. I can work with the actual colors within the photo or derive any palette of my choosing. Although this new media can be time consuming it is spontaneous as well.

When satisfied with the piece as viewed on screen, the Giclée printing process can begin. All of the prints are made in the studio on my own wide-format printer where I have complete control over the color proofing and final results. In this way, all digital woodcuts are original works of art from start to finish. This new printing process yields extremely high definition prints, which were not previously possible using traditional mediums.

I have used the traditional process of woodcut printing in the past but was never entirely satisfied with its physical limitations and always yearned for the woodcut medium to have that same immediacy that is inherent in the acrylic paintings that I have made over the past thirty-six years. The new digital media has made what was formerly impossible possible.

Digital Woodcuts take the finished physical from of a high resolution Giclée Print and are not a "copy" or "reproduction" of an original painting or drawing etc. Each Digital Woodcut is considered an "original print" similar to Fine Art traditional printmaking.

Currently, I am making Original Digital Woodcut Prints up to 44 inches in height and at almost any length using Fine Art Watercolor Papers and Canvas.

James Morton’s Digigraphs are original artworks created using a hybrid process that blends photography, digital painting, and fine art printing. Each piece is built in layers—reimagining real places with expressive color and texture—then printed using archival pigments for lasting beauty. These are not reproductions, but original digital works printed in limited quantities and signed by the artist.

Artists Description:

The Original Digigraph Prints are a combination of numerous digital media. I do not use any “apps” to make these works . These are a result of techniques I have been developing over the past 20 years.

The Digigraph technique begins with making a specially prepared collage of my own digital photographs.  Once satisfied with the composition of these photos, the image and color is digitally transformed. The contours shadows and texture are also changed to suit the overall composition; making some images come forward and others recede. Transparent colors and layers are added to create visual luminosity and depth. Lastly, hand-directed digital painting is added.

There is currently no distinct name for digitally based Fine Art or Art made through the use of digital tools and software on a computer. The name Digigraphy or "Digigraphie" is one term referenced more frequently in Europe to define high quality digitally based fine art prints created with an Epson printer and Giclée Printmaking.

My Digigraphs take the finished physical from of a high resolution Giclée Print and are not a "copy" or "reproduction" of an original painting or

drawing etc. Each Digigraph is considered an "original print" similar to Fine Art traditional printmaking.

Currently, I am making Original Digigraph Prints up to 44 inches in height and at almost any length using Fine Art Watercolor Papers and Canvas.
