• Coast Guard Air Station Ventura Fine Art Print

  By Bryan David Snuffer

  Honoring the unwavering devotion to duty, community connection, and operational synergy of Southern California’s guardians, this fine art print by military historical artist Bryan David Snuffer captures the essence of Coast Guard Air Station Ventura.

  Executed with exceptional detail, the dynamic montage composition anchors on an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter in action alongside local agency partners—set against iconic Southern California backdrops including the Pacific Park Ferris wheel, coastal headlands, and the Hollywood hills. It serves as a striking tribute to the aircrews, surface rescue units, and local first responders who keep watch over hundreds of miles of rugged coastline.

  Printed on high-quality fine art stock with vibrant color fidelity, this piece is a perfect addition to any military art collection, station wardroom, office, or home display.

  Unpacking & Care Instructions

  To ensure your fine art print arrives in pristine condition, it is safely rolled and shipped inside a heavy-duty protective mailing tube. Please follow these steps when unboxing and preparing your print for framing:

  1. Unpack with Clean Hands: Handle the print with clean, dry hands—or preferably cotton gloves—touching only the white border edges to avoid transferring skin oils onto the printed surface.
  2. Remove Carefully: Gently ease the rolled print out of the shipping tube. Do not pull tightly on the paper edges or force the roll.
  3. Flattening Your Print:
     • Place the print image-side up on a clean, smooth, flat surface.
     • Cover the print with the clean protective tissue paper included in the tube.
     • Place smooth, heavy, flat objects (such as large hardcover books) evenly across the corners and center.
     • Allow the print to sit for 24 to 48 hours until it naturally flattens out. Do not attempt to counter-roll or bend the print backward, as this can crease the paper fibers or crack the ink layer.
  4. Framing & Display:
     • The generous white border around the 13.5" x 21" image area is specifically designed to accommodate standard 18" x 24" matting and framing while showcasing the lower narrative text.
     • Frame your print behind UV-filtering glass or acrylic, and display it away from direct sunlight and areas of high humidity to preserve its rich colors for decades to come.
