A guide to limited editions, Certificates of Authenticity, numbering, and the integrity of the collection.
Each artwork in the Ephemeral Garden Collection is offered as a limited edition.
This means the number of available works is intentionally restricted, documented, and honored. Once the edition is fully acquired, the image is permanently retired from the studio catalog and will not be offered again as a new fine art edition.
LIMITED EDITION OF 50 WORLDWIDE
Each selected artwork is released in a limited edition of 50 worldwide.
This edition number includes all listed sizes and presentation options combined.
For example, if an artwork is offered as Acrylic, Metal, Framed Fine Art Print, and Unframed Fine Art Print, those presentations are all part of the same edition of 50. The edition is not multiplied by size or material.
This preserves the integrity of the artwork and helps ensure that each collected piece remains part of a clearly documented and limited body of work.
WHY LIMITED EDITIONS MATTER
A limited edition creates a defined boundary around an artwork.
Rather than allowing an image to be reproduced indefinitely, the edition gives the work a beginning and an end. This helps protect the collector’s trust and preserves the seriousness of the collection.
Limited editions also bring clarity.
The collector knows how many works may exist, how the piece is documented, and what happens once the edition is complete.
For me, this is part of honoring both the artwork and those who choose to live with it.
EDITION NUMBERING
Each artwork is individually numbered within its edition.
A piece may be marked, for example:
1 / 50
12 / 50
37 / 50
This means the artwork is one of only 50 works released from that image.
The edition number is recorded with the artwork and appears on the Certificate of Authenticity.
CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY
Each acquisition includes a serialized Certificate of Authenticity.
The certificate documents the important details of the artwork, including the title, edition number, presentation, size, and studio record.
This certificate serves as the collector’s formal documentation that the artwork is part of the authorized limited edition.
It should be kept in a safe place, as it remains part of the artwork’s history and provenance.
WHAT THE CERTIFICATE REPRESENTS
The Certificate of Authenticity is more than a receipt.
It is a record of the artwork’s place within the edition and a statement that the piece was produced, inspected, documented, and released through the studio.
Each certificate helps preserve the connection between the collector, the artwork, and the edition from which it came.
EDITION RETIREMENT
Once all 50 works in an edition have been acquired, the image is retired from the studio catalog.
At that point, no additional fine art prints of that image will be offered in any size or presentation.
The artwork may still appear on the website, in archive references, or in studio records, but it will no longer be available for acquisition as a new limited edition work.
ARTIST INSPECTION AND STUDIO RECORDS
Each artwork is personally overseen before release.
The process includes production, inspection, documentation, certificate preparation, and final review before the artwork begins its journey to the collector.
Studio records are maintained so the edition, presentation, size, and acquisition details remain documented.
PRESENTATION AND EDITION INTEGRITY
Changing the presentation does not create a new edition.
Acrylic, Metal, Framed Fine Art Print, and Unframed Fine Art Print are simply different ways of presenting the same artwork. They all belong to the same limited edition unless otherwise stated.
This approach keeps the edition clear and honest.
A collector choosing Acrylic and a collector choosing a Framed Fine Art Print are both acquiring from the same limited edition of that artwork.
ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPHIC WORK
All artwork presented in the collection is created from my own original photographic work.
No generative AI imagery is used in the creation of these collections.
The finished works are shaped through my photographic process, artistic choices, composition, light, movement, atmosphere, and final preparation for fine art presentation.
REPLACEMENT AND DOCUMENTATION
If an artwork is damaged during shipping, documentation and photographs may be required so the issue can be addressed through the insured shipping process.
In the event that a replacement is required, it is handled through the studio so the edition record remains accurate and protected.
A replacement does not create an additional editioned artwork for open release. It is part of resolving a specific documented issue with a specific collector acquisition.
PROVENANCE AND CARE OF RECORDS
Collectors are encouraged to keep their Certificate of Authenticity, receipt, and any studio correspondence connected to the artwork.
These records help preserve the history of the piece over time.
For collectors, designers, estates, or future transfer of ownership, clear documentation helps maintain confidence in the artwork’s authenticity and edition status.
A NOTE ON TRUST
Edition integrity depends on trust.
When a collector chooses one of my works, they are trusting not only the image, but the promise behind it.
My responsibility is to honor that promise by keeping the edition clear, documented, and limited as stated.
That is part of the care behind each acquisition.
