FAQs
Do you accept art commissions?
Yes! I accept a limited number of commissions for original artwork created in my established painting style. We will begin with a conversation about size, color palette and the space where the piece will live. From there, I take the reins and create an original work using the movement, layering and techniques that are characteristic of my work.
For commission inquiries, please send me an email and tell me a little about what you have in mind. You can also review my Commission Information and Terms before getting started.
How can I see more pictures or get more information about a piece of original art?
Please send me an email and let me know which piece you are interested in. Additional photographs, detail images and a live video viewing are happily available. I want you to feel comfortable with the artwork before you make your purchase, so please do not hesitate to ask questions.
Will the artwork look exactly the same in person as it does on my screen??
I make every reasonable effort to photograph and represent my work accurately, but original art has a way of behaving differently in person. Color can vary slightly from one screen to another; texture, layering, depth and subtle changes in surface sheen can respond differently as the light changes. Plus, all devices are calibrated a little differently, just like people, right? Many times, the colors are much more vibrant in person than when viewed on a screen or in print. We want you to love the art, so if you have any hesitation or questions about how something may look, please send an me an email before purchasing. I am happy to send additional photographs, show the work in different lighting or arrange a live video viewing. While we take great effort to accurately represent items, ultimately, you assume the risk of these differences.
Is shipping included with original art?
Yes. Standard insured delivery within the continental United States is included in the listed price of original artwork.
If you live in Alaska, Hawaii or outside the United States, please contact me before purchasing so we can discuss delivery options and costs.
Expedited delivery, white-glove service, installation or other special delivery requests may involve an additional charge.
How will my original art purchase be packed?
Very carefully. Each original is packed using materials and methods appropriate for the size, surface and delivery method of the artwork. The painting itself is protected with glassine and appropriate packing materials, and larger works may be professionally crated and transported by a fine-art shipping service.
Your artwork will also arrive with its signed Certificate of Authenticity.
How long will it take to receive my original artwork?
Smaller works generally ship within approximately two weeks. Larger works requiring custom crating and/or professional fine-art transportation may take approximately four weeks or longer to arrive. These are estimates rather than guaranteed delivery dates. I will keep you updated along the way.
Can I request faster or special delivery?
Usually, yes. Please contact me before purchasing if you need expedited delivery, white-glove service, installation or another special delivery arrangement. Additional charges may apply.
What is your return policy for original artwork?
Because each painting is an original work of art, all original artwork sales are final, except in the event that the artwork is lost or damaged during shipping as described in the Purchase Terms.
I want you to love what you purchase! If you have questions about color, texture, scale or anything else before buying, please contact me. I am happy to provide additional photographs, detail images or a live video viewing before you make your decision.
What if my artwork is damaged or gets lost during shipping?
First, please do not throw away anything—including the box, crate, wrapping or other packing materials. Contact me within seven days of delivery and include your order number, photographs of the artwork and damage, and photographs of the shipping container and packing materials. Please document everything.
I will work directly with the carrier and/or insurer to address damage that occurred during shipping. I may need your help providing additional photographs, retaining the packaging or making the artwork and packaging available for inspection.
Because every painting is an original, an identical replacement generally is not possible. Depending upon the circumstances, an appropriate resolution may include professional repair or restoration, a refund, or another solution we agree upon.
What if my artwork is lost in shipping?
If tracking indicates that your artwork has not been delivered and it appears to be lost in transit, please contact me. I will work with the carrier and/or insurer to locate the shipment or resolve the loss.
If tracking shows that the artwork was delivered to the correct address but it is subsequently lost or stolen, please contact the carrier and appropriate local authorities. Unfortunately, I cannot be responsible for theft or loss occurring after confirmed delivery.
Please double-check your delivery information when ordering. Additional expenses resulting from an incorrect address provided by the purchaser, refusal of delivery or repeated unsuccessful delivery attempts may be the purchaser’s responsibility.
