About the paintings

Originals
Originals are one of a kind. This is the actual painting that the artist devoted time to applying paint techniques to a stretched piece of watercolor paper. See the artist statement and the photos from nature to learn more about what inspires the artist to create these unique paintings.

Limited Edition
Signature Limited Editions are archival prints that have a limited print run. Marsee does a short number of prints to ensure a greater value for the collector. For example, the number 5/25 on a limited edition means that piece is the 5th one printed of 25. After 25 are sold, that exact piece will never be reproduced again by the artist. It is valuable because it will never be mass produced.

Archival Prints
Reproductions of the original painting that are printed with archival ink onto archival paper. Archival means that with the proper care, a piece will be preserved for up to 200 years without fading. As with traditional photos, proper care will minimize color changes and maximize display life. To protect the prints from atmospheric contaminants like humidity, cigarette smoke, and high levels of ozone, it is recommended that prints be:

  • framed under glass {or}
  • placed in a plastic sleeve
  • prints should also be kept out of direct sunlight. The actual display life of photographs will vary in accordance with lighting conditions and exposure to atmospheric contaminants. Independent testing by Wilhelm Imaging Research, on the print process.
