Frequently Asked Questions & Policies
How do I purchase an original painting?
I offer paintings in collections both on my website and with the galleries that represent me and my artwork. I release artwork in groups periodically throughout the year. The best way to be sure you snag a piece is to join my email list! I give early access to all collections of original artwork to my email subscribers. You can also find artwork available at various galleries and shops here.
Do you take commissions?
Yes! I absolutely love working with clients on custom paintings. I am currently booked for 2021, but will be opening up spots for 2022 towards the end of this year. You can join the Commissions Waitlist now!
Will you work with interior designers?
Absolutely! I do offer designer discounts on originals and prints, so contact me if you have a project that needs some artwork!
Do you offer framing services?
For most original paintings, I will either sell the artwork with a frame already installed, or with the option to purchase a frame in addition to the painting. I do not offer framing for prints. Contact me if you need any recommendations for frames - I also always suggest supporting your local frame shop! Another talented artist, Emily Jeffords, has a lovely framing guide with even more in-depth framing guidance.
Can I return or exchange my painting or print?
All purchases of original artwork (commissions or not) are final. All prints are made to order, meaning I order each print specifically for you! If you wish to cancel or return a print order beyond 24 hours after placing your order, a restocking fee of 25% will be applied. In situations of damaged artwork arriving at your door, we can discuss a solution specific to your case!
How is my artwork going to be shipped?
PRINTS: All prints 12x12” and smaller will be shipped in a rigid flat mailer. The prints are tucked into a sealed plastic sleeve to avoid any potential water damage. I affix a “Do Not Bend” sticker to the outside of the mailer so that our mail carriers know they are handling precious goods! Prints larger than 12x12” will be shipped in a shipping tube. They will be carefully wrapped in paper in between layers of the rolled canvas to protect from any damage to the surface of the print. In a similar fashion, I also affix a “Do Not Bend” sticker to the outside of the package.
ORIGINAL PAINTINGS: All of my original paintings are packed with extreme care! I wrap each original in paper and wrap it with a bow. I then attach flat pieces of cardboard cut to the size of the painting on both the front and the back of the piece. I then wrap the painting in bubble wrap, and place the painting in a box, filling in any gaps with more paper and bubble wrap. Extra-large paintings require crated freight shipment, incurring a higher cost of shipping, which will be billed separately.
MY SHIPPING PRACTICES
Please select the appropriate option for shipping!
The cost of shipping prints is $6 no matter the order. Prints are sent via USPS.
The cost of shipping original paintings varies from $15-$100 (except for freight shipments), depending on the size of the artwork. Shipping and the required materials is expensive, and quite a bit of effort. I would so appreciate you paying the correct amount for shipping your order! Oil paintings on canvas require a additional time to fully dry after the painting is finish. Once the painting is appropriately dried, I then varnish the painting for archival purposes and UV protection. this helps your painting stay beautiful for years to come. If the painting requires framing, it will then be framed after the varnish dries. From the painting’s completion to it arriving to your door takes anywhere from 3-6 weeks. All originals are shipped via UPS Ground. Freight shipping costs vary from $300-$800.
A NOTE ON PRINTS
All prints are made to order! I do not keep inventory of prints for a number of reasons, the main one being I operate my print ship out of a spare cabinet in my living room ;) I outsource my printing, so it can take anywhere from 1-2 weeks to receive the prints, then another week for me to package it up and send it to you! You will receive your print 3-4 weeks after placing your order. The sizes listed on each print’s product page are the only sizes I can offer that print in. Unfortunately, I cannot print larger than the largest size listed. For some early paintings, the image I captured is not of high enough quality to print larger than the painting’s original size.
RIGHTS TO THE ARTWORK
As the artist, I retain the rights to the images of all original artwork. This means I can use images of a purchased piece of artwork to create prints and products. If you are interested in purchasing the rights to the painting you have purchased, please contact me! My work may not be reproduced in any form without the my consent.
