What's an open edition?

An open edition is a print produced with no predetermined limit to the number of copies that might be made. Sharon's open editions are initialed by her en recto (on the back). We currently offer only one print size of each image as an open edition (7"x9").

What's a limited edition?

A limited edition is a limited run of artwork which is numbered and signed by the artist. The limited number of prints in an edition yields a collectible piece of art. Sharon signs and numbers all limited edition prints en recto (on the back) and they come with a signed and numbered certificate of authenticity. We currently offer up to four print sizes per image as limited editions. Once an edition sells out, it is closed forever and will no longer be available.

What framing does Sharon recommend and do you offer framing?

We don't offer framing, but please take a look at our Framing Tips section.

Can I get a custom sized print made?

We only offer sizes as described in the product listings. Custom sizes (even very small sizes) would require us to make new printer files, would be considered a one-of-a kind print, and would not be cost effective for our customers. Therefore we can not accommodate requests for custom sizes.

Why are the large, limited editions so much more
expensive than the small, open editions?

When Sharon first made her work available to the public as only large, limited edition prints, people started asking her if she'd consider making a more affordable option. She wanted to give more people the ability to own her work in some form, so she came up with the idea of a small, open edition that she could offer at a significantly lower price than the large, limited editions due to sheet paper size, bulk printing rates, and open edition nature (see the two Q's above for an explanation of open editions and limited editions). The large, limited edition prints can not be produced with the same cost saving parameters as the small, open edition prints, and therefore are more expensive.

Can I get a high-res digital file so I can make a print myself?

No way.

Can I get a student discount, a designer discount, a quantity discount?

Sharon's prints are already priced as low as possible with affordability in mind, and therefore cannot be discounted further; even for orders with multiple prints.

How can I put your prints on my Baby Shower register?

You can register for our prints by using www.myregistry.com (it's easy! see their site for instructions).

Can Sharon sign my print on the front instead of on the back?

Sharon is not able to sign the front of prints due to the nature of the photo paper and because it is her preference to sign the back. We include a signed and numbered certificate of authenticity with all the limited edition prints that can be affixed to the back of the frame (once the print is framed).

What are favorites?

Favorites are a great way to keep track of the prints you want to purchase and also a way to share them with others. To create favories, you need to set up an account. Once you have an account, just click the "add to favorites" button found at the top of each listing. Then when you log into our site, you can access your favorites and you'll be able to email your favorites to others or grab html code to post your favorites to your event site or blog.

Do I have to set up an account to make a purchase from this site?

How will I know when my order ships?

An email confirmation was sent to the email address you used when placing your order. And an email will also be sent to the same email address when your order ships. If you did not receive a confirmation email, please contact us. If you set up an account, you can also check your order history through our site under "order history" in "accounts" .

I received my order of multiple prints, but one or more prints are missing.

Please flip over the sleeve to check both sides. We ship two prints per sleeve. If it isn't there, oops! Email us and we'll check your shipping weight to be sure, then send you the missing print/prints.

What if my print gets lost in the mail or arrives damaged?

If you think your order is lost in the mail: Before contacting us, please make sure you have read our processing and shipping times and contacted the shipping carrier (USPS or FedEX) using the delivery confirmation number or the tracking info that was emailed to you. If after doing both, you think your order is lost in the mail, please contact us by email and make sure to include your order number. If we conclude that your order is lost after our own efforts to find it, we will replace your order.

If your print arrives damaged or has a flaw, please email us immediately with a snapshot of the print so that the problem is visible.

Why is $5 flat rate shipping only available to USA customers?

Because unfortunately international shipping is much more expensive than domestic shipping. You can find international shipping prices in the shipping section of our site.

How do you ship the prints?

The small, open edition prints are carefully packaged in a sleeve with chipboard and shipped in a sturdy flat cardboard mailer. The large, limited editions are carefully rolled in a tube, and the tube is shipped inside a box. For shipping prices, combined shipping, and delivery times, please check shipping information on our info page.

What printing method is used for the prints?

All of our prints are created using archival pigment inks on fine art photo paper with a luster finish. To ensure the highest quality, Sharon personally inspects every print before it ships.

Do the colors/tones of the actual prints
look like the images we see online?

We have made every effort to ensure fidelity between the images you see on our site and the final prints. However, since the colors you see depend on your computer monitor settings, we cannot guarantee they are 100% accurate. Personally, we think they look even better in person.

Is there a place I can see the prints in person?

We're an online shop only. If you're considering a limited edition in a 20x24, 30x40, or 40x50 size and would like to see the paper and print quality before making such a significant purchase, you may purchase a small, open edition print and if you end up purchasing the same image as a 20x24, 30x40, 0r 40x50 limited edition print within 30 days, we'll deduct the cost of the small print from the total of the limited edition print order. Just be sure to email us after you've placed your limited edition order so we know to issue you a refund.

I want a print from an edition that is sold out,
can you make one for me?

No. Unfortunately once an edition is sold out, it's closed forever. This is also the case with Sharon's 20x200 editions. Sorry!

Why are some of the prices lower at 20x200?

Our prices were set in motion well before 20x200 asked Sharon to offer editions. Because 20x200 is a larger company, they receive volume discounts from their vendors which make their production costs much lower than ours (20x200 takes on all the production costs for Sharon in order to offer prints at their set prices). Because Sharon appreciates and admires what 20x200 is doing for art and artists, she happily offers a small selection of her images through them - However, it's not feasible for her to sell all her work at those prices.

Do you offer gift certificates?
Or can you put a gift message in with my order?

We do offer Gift Cards. You can find them here. And, our checkout is set up to accept gift messages, so you may enter a message to your recipient at checkout in the "gift message" field.
