Paintings
What medium are your original paintings?
I mainly work with acrylic paints, cyanotypes, and oils mixed with cold-wax medium. Please refer to the painting’s description for details.
Are your paintings framed?
It varies, but most paintings are sold unframed. Some paintings are shown framed for illustrative purposes, and some include a frame – please refer to the painting’s description for full details. All paintings have painted or natural wood sides (panels only) which many collectors have expressed appreciation for. This gives you the option to display the artwork unframed with a clean modern look. You also have the option to choose the frame style that best works with your space and aesthetic. While it isn’t necessary to use glass for paintings on canvas or wood panel, it’s best to keep them out of direct sunlight.
Paintings on paper will include a white acid-fee bevel-cut mat and backing board so they are ready to frame and display.
Please contact me if you would like advice on bespoke framing or have any further questions.
Will my painting be ready to hang?
Outside of small paintings (<10in) and works on paper, all other paintings on canvas or panel come with hanging hardware installed. You just need to decide where to display them!
My favorite painting has sold – how can I find out when new work is available?
Some pieces sell very quickly! Make sure you sign up for my Studio Notes to get first access to new work, studio events, and exhibition news. You can also follow my journey on Instagram or Facebook and see artwork in progress.
How will my painting be wrapped?
All artwork is wrapped in glassine or tissue paper, brown paper, padding, and sent in a sturdy cardboard mailer or box. Each one is unique, so I take care that to protect them well so they arrive in perfect condition. For further details about delivery please see the Purchasing & Shipping page.
Do you paint special commissions?
Yes! Commissions are open throughout the year and scheduled based on my studio workload and your ideal timeframe. If you like my style and want to get on my commissions calendar – please check out details on this page.
Prints
What is an art print?
A print is a high quality reproduction of an original artwork, the detail is so fine you can’t see the printed dots with the naked eye.
How are the prints made?
A high resolution photograph of the original work is taken and carefully color adjusted to ensure an optimum match. The prints are made with a professional printer that uses a wide range of long-lasting inks (+50 years). I currently offer two types of prints:
- Giclee Canvas Prints – specialty giclee canvas primed to accept inkjet ink. They are mounted on cradled wood panels, varnished and the sides are painted in coordinating colors.
- Fine Art Paper Prints – heavyweight professional quality photo paper with a satin finish made in Japan, or 100% cotton rag paper made in France. Please see product listing for available options and details.
Do you make prints of all your paintings?
No, most are only available as originals. Only a few of my favorite paintings are selected to be printed.
Can I order a print of a different size?
Most prints have several sizing options so you can choose what works for your space, although not all are available in large sizes. Also take into account that once you have added a matt (for a paper print) and a frame, the final display dimensions will be larger.
Will my print be framed? And how will it be packaged?
All prints are sold unframed. Most paper prints will be rolled in an extra strong cardboard tube to make sure it reaches you in best condition. Giclee canvas prints will be wrapped with glassine or paper, well padded, and sent in a sturdy cardboard mailer or box. For further details please see the Purchasing & Shipping page.
