Product FAQs

Materials Each piece is created utilizing an array of various mediums, including acrylic paint, gouache, spray paint, pencil crayons, charcoal, and pastels. Natural materials and textures have also been incorporated within certain pieces — leaves, branches, flowers, sand, etc. — which are all collected by Whitney during her travels home to Jamaica and daily adventures. The combination of materials used in each work varies with the flow of inspiration.

Linen canvases, fine art paper, and premium cold press watercolor paper are used as the base for each piece/print.
Display Every piece Whitney creates aims to speak and move each person that views it in a unique way. The interpretation of her work and its reception are not bound by a static meaning. Instead, it is open to the viewers' analysis ,understanding, and connection to the piece — allowing for a collaboration between artist and audience, creating a synergetic story. By virtue of this, there is no “right” or “wrong” way to display a piece.
Care Instructions In order to preserve and elongate the lifespan of a piece, please follow these care instructions:

To avoid cracks and fading, try to keep artwork out of direct sunlight.

To prevent warping, tears or scratches, do not lean anything against the front or back of the piece. In addition, avoid displaying or storing artwork in areas with high humidity or very dry conditions, as this may cause them to warp or become brittle.

If cleaning of the artwork is necessary, do not use water or cleaning products. Instead, to remove dust or debris, use a very soft brush or compressed air to gently clean off the surface of the artwork. Please be aware that pieces utilizing charcoal, pastels, or other soft materials may smudge if not handled with care.

Printed/paper pieces can be framed in glass to minimize exposure to pollutants (dust, smoke, grime from cooking, etc.). For canvas pieces, it is recommended to avoid placing the artwork in areas with high exposure to pollutants. Due to the nature of canvases, placing them in glass is not advised as they need to be able to breathe.

Canvases will also experience subtle shifts over time due to natural atmospheric changes, so it's best to leave them without a glass casing and allow them to mature naturally.

Check on the condition of the artwork periodically to catch any signs of damage or wear, and adjust the location as needed. If a piece is damaged, please reach out to [insert email] or a qualified conservator for recommendations and repairs.

When transporting or gifting artwork, use firm pieces of cardboard over the front and back of the piece to protect its design and help maintain its shape and structure. Finally, secure the entire piece in bubble wrap before placing it in its final packaging.
