  • "I was instantly impacted by Stephen Milner’s artwork"

    ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑ By Alison

    When I walked into The Welcome Swallow Gallery, I was instantly impacted by Stephen Milner’s artwork of Ruapehu. Yet it wasn’t just the three metre canvas it was displayed on - it was the covering of snow on Ruapehu contrasted with the rich oranges and browns of the tussock. Between these contrasts was the mist over the plains so often witnessed in this area. Although offered, I didn’t choose to reduce the size of the photo or I think this photo of Ruapehu would have lost the awe that drew me in, in the first instant. It now hangs proudly in my lounge and has already had many admirers. Thank you Stephen Milner for sharing your talent.

  • "This artwork captivated us the moment we laid eyes on it"

    ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑ By Matilda And John

    This artwork captivated us the moment we laid eyes on it. Mystery, almost abstract like, we could feel the force of nature displayed dramatically in all its glory. It invited us into its magic. As it hangs proudly in our dining living space it stops us in our track to stare, to observe, and bathe in its glory whenever we see it. This balance that exists in each moment in nature was beautifully captured by Steven Milner. We stand reminded every day all we have at our feet and how majestic some parts of our beautiful land are.

  • "This artwork offers a unique capture of one of the greatest landscapes presented on earth"

    ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑ By Clive

    The majesty of Mitre Peak in golden hue, is captured by Stephen Milner's artful photography. For those whom have witnessed, alongside those who have not, this artwork offers a unique capture of one of the greatest landscapes presented on earth. Milner is more than equal to the task, presenting an image that is both memorable and uplifting. Immeasurable visual pleasure.

Care and Handling

To ensure the longevity of your artwork from Stephen Milner Photography, it’s essential to follow these care instructions:

Handling Your Artwork:

  • Always handle your artwork with clean, dry hands, or wear cotton gloves to prevent oils or dirt from transferring onto the surface.
  • Avoid touching the printed surface directly, especially for fine art paper prints, as fingerprints and smudges can be difficult to remove.
  • When unpacking your artwork, place it on a clean, flat surface to prevent scratches or damage.

Acrylic Prints:

  • Acrylic prints are water-resistant, making them easy to clean. Use a soft, damp microfiber cloth to gently wipe the surface.
  • For fingerprints or smudges, use an acrylic-safe cleaner with a non-abrasive cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could scratch or damage the print.
  • Direct sunlight should be avoided for all artwork, as prolonged exposure can lead to color fading.

Canvas Prints:

  • Dust canvas prints gently with a soft, dry cloth or feather duster. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions that may damage the ink or fabric.
  • Like other artworks, avoid direct sunlight to prevent colors from fading and the canvas from warping over time.

Fine Art Paper Prints:

  • Fine art paper prints should be framed by a professional framer for best results. They will ensure the print is well-protected and displayed correctly.
  • Follow the framer’s care instructions, which should include using UV-protective glass or acrylic to shield the print from light.
  • Avoid direct sunlight and high humidity, as both can cause damage to the print, including fading and discoloration.

General Environmental Care:

  • Ensure your artwork is displayed in areas with stable temperature and humidity. Avoid hanging art in spaces with high moisture levels, like bathrooms, to prevent potential damage.
  • Avoid direct sunlight for all types of artwork, as it can cause fading or deterioration over time.

By following these care guidelines and avoiding direct exposure to sunlight and harsh environments, you can preserve the quality and vibrancy of your artwork for many years. For further assistance, feel free to contact us!
