Professionally framed fine art print reproduced from an original watercolor painting on paper by Kim Knoll. Printed on acid-free, natural white fine art paper, mounted to foam board, and custom-framed in a high-quality, slim metal frame with standard acrylic glass.

Nice print but cheap frame.

Print is quite nice but the frame is cheap - will have to reframe. It’s already separating at the corners.

Hi Michael, the frames I use are the Nielsen brand and are found at most professional frame shops. The corners shouldn’t be separating and I’m sorry that you’re having that experience. Can you send me photos of the corners so I can see what’s happening? With all metal frames, the corners are joined together with screws on the back. It might just be a matter of loosening a screw, readjusting, and tightening it again. If for some reason your frame is unrepairable, I’m happy to send you a replacement at no cost. — Kim

Meet The Artist
Kim Knoll

Hi, I'm Kim Knoll—a painter, traveler, and equal parts nature lover and city girl living in the heart of Chicago. Each year, I spend time in different parts of the world exploring on foot, from a big city like Madrid to the narrow canyons of Utah. These experiences inspire new perspectives and guide my work.

From my studio in Humboldt Park, I paint on paper using mixed media to find peace within my environment and myself. I think of things that bring me calm or joy, like the movement of water, different layers of land, and the expanse of open sky.

My original paintings are scanned and made into high-resolution art prints that are professionally printed, framed and carefully packed for shipping. 

I hope my work creates a connection that invites you to pause, slow down, and become present long enough to restore your own peace and the simple joy of being.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why shouldn't I just use a frame from a store?

Great question! My framed prints are professionally made and dry-mounted to acid-free foam board. "Dry mounting" is a professional framing technique used to permanently adhere the print to a rigid backing board using heat and a heat-activated adhesive. It's done to eliminate wrinkles and prevent the paper from waving or buckling over time, making these a perfect choice for bathrooms or any space with humidity or moisture.

Another big difference is that the matboard has been sourced to match the paper color perfectly, which is a crucial detail in making the framing look expensive or cheap. There are so many different "whites" when it comes to matting that finding a store-bought, readymade frame with a white mat that matches the paper is surprisingly hard.
Why did you choose this frame?

There are so many reasons why I chose this frame that I wrote an entire blog post about it! You can read why here.
What does the mat, paper and frame look like up close?

Another great question! I thought you might be wondering, so I took some photos up close and wrote this blog post that covers each part of the framed print.
How are your framed prints packed for shipping?

I completely understand the fears that come with shipping something fragile, and I want to assure you that my framed prints are packed well, by professionals. In fact, I show exactly how they are packed and explain it in detail in this blog post, so you know what to expect.
