ORIGINALS

Your artwork is more than a piece—it’s a connection. Thank you for bringing one of Sonia’s original paintings into your life. We want to ensure your investment is protected, preserved, and cherished for generations to come.

This guide provides simple steps to help you care for your original WALL ART by Sonia painting, wherever it hangs.

🖐️ Handling & Installation

• Watch this first: Hanging Your Art Properly
  Begin with this video above and then you can move on, to watching the short install video on proper 3M CLAW™ techniques—in the middle of this section.

  • Any questions, hit us up at support.

• Use the white art-handling gloves provided in your Studio ART PACK to avoid transferring oils, moisture, or fingerprints to the surface.

• Always support the painting from the sides or back, never from the canvas or brushwork.

• For effortless, no-tools installation, use the included 3M CLAW™ premium hanging system also found in your Studio ART PACK.
  (Need help? A full 15-minute instructional video on using 3M CLAW™ is also at the bottom of this guide.)

☀️ Display & Environment

• Avoid direct sunlight, high humidity, or extreme temperature changes. These can lead to fading, cracking, or warping.

• Display your painting in a well-lit space with indirect or diffused light to enhance its beauty without harm.

• Maintain humidity between 40%–60%. Avoid hanging in bathrooms or kitchens, where moisture is high.

🖼️ Framing & Mounting

• If you choose to frame your original, we recommend selecting from our three handcrafted frame options, or work with a professional framer who uses archival-quality materials like those we use in-house.

🧼 Cleaning & Maintenance

• Gently dust the surface using the Swiffer® Duster™ included in your Studio ART PACK, or a clean feather duster. Always start at the top and move downward.

• For deeper cleaning or restoration, consult a professional art conservator. They’ll ensure your painting is treated with the care it deserves.

🖐️ Handling & Installation

• Watch this first: Hanging Your Art Properly
  Begin with this video above and then you can move on, to watching the short install video on proper 3M CLAW™ techniques—in the middle of this section.

  • Any questions, hit us up at support.

🧼 Cleaning & Maintenance

• Gently dust your print with the Swiffer® Duster™ included in your Studio ART PACK or a soft feather duster.

• Avoid direct sunlight, excessive humidity, or areas with large temperature fluctuations.

• To enhance protection, we recommend framing your art print under UV-filtering glass or acrylic to prevent fading over time.

• Watch this first: Hanging Your Art Properly

• Avoid excess moisture, harsh cleaners, or scrubbing, as these can compromise the varnish and overall quality of the print.

☀️ Display & Environment

• Hang your piece away from direct sunlight, humidity, and temperature extremes.

• Prolonged UV exposure can lead to fading—so if possible, position your canvas out of direct window light.

• Avoid areas like bathrooms or basements where excess moisture may affect the canvas or varnish layer.

🖼️ Framing & Mounting

• If you choose to frame your canvas, we suggest selecting from our three signature frame options, or working with a framer who uses museum-grade archival materials like we do.
