FAQs

How do I purchase an original?

I create as many paintings as possible and release them in collections on my website a few times per year.  This will be well advertised before hand via social media, my blog, and mailing list. These paintings will go quickly and be available here.

Can I commission a painting?

A non-refundable 50% deposit is to be made at the time of confirming the commission. Work will not commence until the deposit has been paid. In the unlikely event that you decide to cancel once the commission has started, the 50% deposit will not be refunded to pay for my time creating this artwork. There are to be no renegotiations on price once the commission has started.


As the artist, I reserve the copyrights to all commissioned pieces and may use photos of the completed artworks to promote my business. If you have any questions regarding this, please don't hesitate to contact me and we can work through any concerns together.

Do you offer framing?

Yes! Frames are custom-made for larger pieces and purchased for smaller art. Ask about pricing when purchasing.

How does my item come shipped?


*Pick-up is available for local clients.

Unframed prints are sealed in an archival clear sleeve backed with a hard board. They are then wrapped and posted in a rigid mailer to ensure they arrive safely.


Framed prints and canvas artworks come bubble wrapped in a custom cardboard box for safe travel.
