Paintings

WHAT MEDIUM ARE YOUR ORIGINAL PAINTINGS?

I work mainly in water-based mediums: acrylic paint, inks, guache, and pigments. Further details are usually listed alongside each piece.

ARE YOUR PAINTINGS FRAMED?

It varies. Most work on canvas is sold unframed; many people prefer this look as it’s more modern and can be shipped without costing you more. If you like the look of a frame, I suggest purchasing one when you have the painting with you – it’s much easier to decide that way! A slim floater frame looks great on a canvas.

WILL MY PAINTING BE READY TO HANG?

Yes, all paintings will come ready to hang with D-rings and hanging wire attached. A couple of exceptions are art pieces that are sold matted, which will arrive in an archival cellophane bag for which you would purchase a frame locally, and large artworks that have been shipped rolled, where you would find a local framer to re-stretch and frame the artwork locally.

CAN I PURCHASE YOUR WORK WITH A PAYMENT PLAN?

Yes, that can be arranged. If you would like to purchase an original painting over $500, you are welcome to purchase it in stages. As the value of my work grows, this can be a helpful option. A 50% deposit is payable to hold your painting. The balance can be paid the following month or in 2 monthly payments of 25% each. Please contact me if you are interested in arranging this. Your work will be shipped to you as soon as the final payment is made.

This is not a credit scheme but an arrangement OF trust at no extra cost to you. Usual shipping costs and return policy will apply.

MY FAVORITE PAINTING HAS SOLD - HOW CAN I BE SURE TO KNOW ABOUT NEW WORK?

Some pieces sell quickly. Make sure you join our mailing list to find out about new work before it is added to the Shop. But, as we try not to bombard you with emails, you can also follow studio progress on Instagram or Facebook to see work coming up.

It depends on size, but paintings will be carefully packed using corner protection, bubble wrap and cardboard. Each one is unique, so I take care that it is well protected to arrive in perfect condition. For further details about delivery, please see the Shipping details.

DO YOU DO SPECIAL COMMISSIONS?

Currently, I’m not taking on any new commissions, as I’m working on a new body of work. If you like my style then one of those may be the one for you!
