In order to understand the "HOW" is important to know the "WHY".
Why?
Artist McKenzie was recently diagnosed with a form of LUPUS thought to be triggered by environmental toxins. 20+ years of painting and the use of toxic chemicals in small unventillated art studios and printing areas is thought, by her doctors, to have been the culprit. Artist McKenzie went on an exhaustive search to find GREEN--HEALTHY-ORGANIC alternatives to her Art production...and has done just that. She has created the FIRST AND ONLY Art Product to meet LEED Requirements and Standards. She calls it "Art Making a Difference TM " and 100% of the Company's profits go directly to Eco Causes.
How?
THE PROCESS
1. The Original Paintings are created on 100% recycled Cotton Canvas with Water-based
Paints and Inks.
2. The paintings are digitized using a Green Certified Business run on Wind Power.
3. The digital files are printed using environmentally friendly inks by a Green Certified, LEED
Accredited Printer.
4. The Art is directly printed on 100% Post Consumer Waste Recycled Substrate.
(Strong enough to be displayed without framing if desired)
5. The Art is then hand-embellished by trained artisans with organic aqueous coating to give it
texture (brush strokes) and to extend the life of the print to 25 years.
6. The Print may be framed with a FSC Sustainable Wood Frame or purchased independently
without framing.
7. The Art is then shipped using recycled packaging to its' destination.
