ARCHIVAL MATTE 

Due to its lasting and flexible qualities, Archival Matte is an excellent choice for your modern coastline landscape. With its heavy-weight matte finish, it is made for high contrast and crisp reproduction of high-res images.

Also, as it is neutral white in color, it will suit all color palettes. Because it is acid-free for archival longevity, it is ideal for all fine art applications. 230 gsm / 9.5 mil

SOMERSET VELVET 

This radiant white paper offers vivid color reproduction and deep, rich blacks for amazing contrast. In addition, its texture softens the overall effect of the artwork and adds an extra hint of warmth. For these reasons, we recommend it for reproductions of modern oil paintings and pastels. This is a 100% cotton rag paper. 255 gsm / 19 mil

WATERCOLOR

Without question, we recommend watercolor paper for a modern abstract watercolor painting. Due to its textured finish and weight, this fine art paper provides an authentic look and feel for watercolor reproductions. Also, this is a neutral-toned, acid-free paper made from 100% cotton rag. 300 gsm / 24 mil

PICTURE RAG

Picture Rag, the traditional gold standard for fine art paper, is popular for its ability to reproduce high contrast black and white imagery and hold incredibly vivid and true colors. Due to these qualities, we recommend it for your semi abstract boat art. In addition, Cool Tone Picture Rag is an acid-free paper made from 100% cotton rag.  300 gsm / 24 mil

SEMI-MATTE PHOTO 

Semi-Matte gives an art print a subtle finish. Because of this quality, many artists and photographers love it. It has minimum glare; therefore, it is optimal for strongly-lit home and office spaces where your beach house decor is displayed. 260 gsm / 10 mil

LUSTRE PHOTO 

Lustre Paper has a light sheen. Due to this finish, Lustre Photo makes seascapes and coastal art shine! 250 gsm / 10 mil

GLOSSY PHOTO  

Glossy Photo has an ultra-gloss finish. It is an excellent choice for reproductions of nautical oil paintings and ship portraits. Because of its glossiness, this fine art paper conveys the depth and vivid color of the original oil painting. 250 gsm / 10 mil

About the Artist

Catherine McKinnon is a coastal artist from Nova Scotia, Canada. She has always been drawn to the ocean, wooden boats and the visual imagery of maritime life. Her coastal art depicts the majesty and beauty of the sea and the boats and ships that navigate its waters. 

McKinnon's passion for nautical painting led her to study fine arts at the Rhode Island School of Design. During her time there, she continued to explore her fascination with the ocean in her drawings and paintings.

She developed her own unique style of nautical art which is semi abstract, yet representational. She is particularly drawn to the colors and textures of the sea. As a result, her art reflects this through the use of vibrant colors and bold brushstrokes.

In addition to her artistic endeavors, McKinnon is a wooden schooner owner, a sailor and a fiddler. Also a passionate advocate for ocean conservation, she is a "Wavemaker" with Oceana, an international organization dedicated to protecting and restoring the world’s oceans on a global scale.
