"The quality of the canvas I use to create and paint my artwork on is of utmost importance. It is for this reason that I choose Fredrix Print Canvas exclusively. I am committed to providing my collectors with a work of art that will withstand the test of time, and Fredrix has the finest archival quality canvas. Being a pop artist, my work features many very vibrant colors, as well as my trademark, 'Art on the Edge,' in which I create art on all sides of the canvas. I can rely on Fredrix canvas to capture the vibrancy and detail to my highest exacting standards."
