Sizing Art for your home properly

Art not only creates interest and a focal point to any space, but it can also balance a room and serve as a window. 
Sizing art can be tricky. We’re here to help. Before investing in a Papek Fine Art print, email us a picture of your wall along with the furniture dimensions. Then choose your favorite image and we will email you a mock-up that shows exactly how the image will look above your furniture. Remember that framing adds 8 to 12 inches to the piece (i.e., a 20” x 60” print becomes a 32” x 72” art piece).
See below for specific examples of how art has the potential to inspire your room:??King size approximate size is 78” inches?. To download this guide click Papek Sizing

Scott Papek is a self-taught Fine Art nature photographer who was born in Omaha, Nebraska, the current base of his gallery and business. Although his previous life in the music business first prompted the flow of his creative juices and took him to California, Scott eventually recognized his calling to an alternative outlet that permitted him to share his creativity through a camera lens.
Scott began a disciplined self-education in La Jolla, California, where he would rise early each morning, grab his camera, and head to capture the natural beauty of the coastal area into frequent inspiring reproductions. Occasional setbacks only seemed to motivate Scott, and nine months of persistent through-the-lens devotion was rewarded with his first gallery shot. Since then, Scott has been living a life of adventure, freedom, and fulfillment where he has made it his mission to mentor others to do the same.

When he is not spending time with his lovely wife and their young twins, Scott’s curiosity and drive to explore new places fuel his travels around the world where images await capture.

The Right Road

                                            SCOTT PAPEK PRESENTS  “THE RIGHT ROAD”

During my 10 day pacific northwest photo I covered the western part of Oregon and Washington. Lake Quinault is on the south from the heart of Olympic National Park. My brother was in the area 2 weeks prior and talked me into stopping here to check it out. I ended up staying at the brilliant Lake Quinault lodge and had the best salmon in my life at the “Salmon House” right down the road. When my kids get older I can see a family vacation destination for us.  “The Right Road” is a limited edition of only 300 gallery prints and looks best at 40 x 40 with the Aluma museum mount. Visit HERE for more details.

Storm Upon

A nice little find off highway 6 west of Atlantic, Iowa. The pre-storm colors create a beautiful story here. Photgraphing in the midwest offers so much diversity with colors from seasons, storms and humidity.

Scott Papek Limited Edition Print Release “ZENITH”

Scott Papek Limited Edition Print Zenith, White Sands, New Mexico

Scott Papek Photography is proud to announce another limited edition print to the family.  Let’s welcome, “ZENITH”. Zenith was captured in the White Sands Park in New Mexico at 5:43 AM.  On this morning I had set up an early arrival with the Game and Parks.  You pay them $50.00 an hour and they open the gates for you at any time.  The hike to my scouted location was 1.1 miles with the help of my Garmin hand-held GPS.  It’s easy to get disoriented when you are surrounded with white rolling hills and on top of that throw in complete darkness!
I adore Zenith and, hopefully, you do too.
