Created by Rachel Smith in Columbia, Tennessee in 2025. This original work is one of a kind, and no reproductions of the original will ever be made. A limited series of fine art prints may be issued, but ownership of the original transfers directly from the artist’s studio to the collector.

As the only existing “River King” in the world, this piece carries both the rarity of fine art and the tactile intimacy of pyrography. Once acquired, the original will remain singular and irreplaceable.

To preserve the artwork's beauty and durability, please follow these simple care guidelines:

1. Cleaning:
• Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth.
• For deeper cleaning, lightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid excessive moisture.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or ammonia-based products, as these can damage the polycrylic finish.

2. Handling:
• Handle the artwork with clean, dry hands to avoid transferring oils or dirt.
• If the piece is large or heavy, support it from the bottom rather than lifting it by protruding parts.

3. Placement:
• Display the artwork indoors and avoid direct sunlight, as prolonged UV exposure can cause fading or yellowing over time.
• Keep the artwork away from heat sources, such as radiators, fireplaces, or vents, to prevent warping.
• Maintain stable humidity levels to minimize the risk of wood expansion or contraction.

4. Protection:
• Although polycrylic provides a durable finish, avoid placing heavy or sharp objects on the artwork.
• If the piece is functional (like a tray or tabletop), consider using coasters or placemats to protect the surface from spills and scratches.

5. Touch-ups (if needed):
• Small scratches can sometimes be minimized by gently rubbing a tiny amount of paste wax over the area, then buffing lightly.
• For significant damage, consult a professional for refinishing advice.

By following these simple steps, your wood artwork will remain beautiful for years to come!
