Purchasing Options Guidelines

A watercolor practice shaped by light and transparency

When deciding whether to buy art on canvas, prints, or originals, it's essential to consider your budget, the purpose of the artwork, and the emotional connection you seek. Original artworks are unique and often more valuable, offering a personal touch and investment potential, while giclée prints provide a more affordable option that can still enhance your space. Canvas giclée prints can serve as a middle ground, combining visual appeal with accessibility, allowing you to choose sizes and styles that fit your decor. Ultimately, the choice depends on your aesthetic preferences and how you wish to engage with the art in your home. Personal preferences, budget, and the intended role of the artwork in your space should influence the choice between canvas, prints and original artworks. Additionally, consider factors like the quality and texture of the art, care requirements, and the environment where it will be displayed.

FROM THE STUDIO: I invite you to enjoy the dance of my watercolors in your life too!

  • Original Framed Art

    The original art creations available through Selva Studios have been custom framed by my talented husband, Derek, to harmoniously complement the art. The originals require a larger upfront investment, and their value appreciates over time.

  • Giclée on Watercolor Paper

    Giclées on archieval paper are created under the supervision of the artist and use the highest quality materials while involving specialized labor. These fine art reproductions typically cost 2 to 3 times more than standard art prints and hold their value exceedingly well.

  • Canvas Giclée

    Giclées are prized by serious collectors, artists, and galleries alike because they closely match the look, feel, and longevity of the original artwork. Due to the premium materials and specialized labor required, they typically cost 2 to 3 times more than standard art prints.
