FAQ's

What is an Artist Proof (AP)?
Artist Proofs are prints made by the artist outside the numbered edition while refining tonality, paper choice, or crop. Each AP may show subtle variations and is offered in a variation of select sizes and are available as large scale commissions.
 

Editions vs. AP — what’s the difference?
Limited Editions are numbered and capped (e.g., 1/30), signed, and include a Certificate of Authenticity.
Artist Proofs (APs) are not part of the numbered edition and come in small batches. Both are archival fine-art prints.

Donation math — how is the 15% calculated?
For all items in this collection, I donate 15% of the item price (before tax and shipping) to Ventana Wilderness Alliance.

• Example: a $60 proof print → $9 donated.

• Example: a $500 limited edition → $75 donated.
  Donations are tallied on fulfilled orders and remitted monthly.
   

Campaign dates (when your purchase counts)
Purchases made Nov 20–Dec 31, 2025 in the Ventana Partner Collection qualify for the 15% donation.
 

Certificate of Authenticity (COA)
All Limited Editions include a signed COA noting title, paper, size, edition number, and date. 
 

Framing options
Matte black framing + double matted boards are already included in the LE Series Posters, framing is available for commissions + large scale pieces, framing is not available for APs or post cards but I highly recommend you check Tony's Frame Shop in Carmel BTS should you be interested in framing an AP or postcard with a pro.
