Fine art one of the most treasured assets you can own. Good care will guarantee they remain invaluable and special for you and for future generations to come.

In order to maintain the beauty of your fine art for many years, and potentially increase their value over time, this guide will help you to care for your fine art.

For original art and prints - To properly display and preserve your artwork consider the following tips:

•Display in areas away from extreme temperature.

    •Humidity can also affect the artwork. Fine art should be kept around relative humidity 40%-45. If the humidity is too high mold can develop in front and back of the painting. Consider a dehumidifier. 

    •Dust on a regular basis with a DRY soft cloth. Do not apply cleaning products, this can cause irreparable damage.

     •Keep away from direct sunlight. Sunlight is very high in radiation (UV) which will cause the work of art to fade or could increase yellowing of varnish. Indirect light is best. 

     •Avoid positioning lights too close to the paintings or directly above it. The best type of light for your painting is indirect sunlight, recessed lighting, or halogen lights (not ultraviolet).

   •Keep away from smoke. Close proximity to candles, fireplaces or even a cigarette can deposit nicotine and soot onto the surface of the painting.

   Consider insuring your artwork against theft and accidental damage. In the case that accidental damage has occurred or due to poor placement feel free to email heatherfreitasart@gmail.com for a quote on repair costs. We try and make these super affordable for all.
