Generally 8-16 weeks, depending on the season, I am also a full time art educator so hopefully we will be able to work out a timeline that works best for us both but I tend to work well under a deadline lol so if you have something specific coming up—an anniversary, party, etc. I will do my best to get it to you by then.

I work closely with customers while the piece is in progress to ensure that you are completely satisfied with the color, balance, mood, & direction of the piece. You are not obligated to purchase the painting, and if you were to decide that it is not for you or your space, you will be able to use your 50% deposit as store credit to apply to another painting. However, this has never happened before, so hopefully you would not be the first.

You can pay in two installments—50% deposit up front to begin your order & the remaining half when your painting is complete and you are 100% pleased with the finished piece.

Choose the right size for your space and budget. You can give me color ideas by sending interior paint colors, fabric swatches, or photos. Look through the site and tell me the titles of the pieces you are attracted to but might not be the right size & I can help you with the rest. Your order officially begins when you have officially chosen a size and made your deposit.

As long as you like my current work and allow me my fair share of artistic control, I am happy to accommodate your opinions and a few edits. I will send in progress photos so you feel able to express your opinions before the piece is even considered "finished" and this makes it easier for me to get it just right.

Go to the Commission Inquiry page and fill out the Commission Inquiry Form. I will send you a email with everything you need to know to plan your perfect painting, including the commission price chart. Please note: This is separate from my general mailing list, you will receive a special one time email when you fill out the form.

The best way is to follow me on Instagram to see works in progress in the studio and to join my mailing list to be the first to know when new paintings are added to the website.

Of course I do! I use USPS and FedEx Ground to be sure they arrive safely. Check out my shipping policies and you will see the shipping charge at check out.

Yes! Be on the lookout this information is coming soon!

I love using cold press watercolor paper but I also use some Bristol and mixed media paper as well.

I use a variety of high quality acrylic paint such as Golden and Liquitex. I also use Daler-Rowney FW Acrylic Inks, Prismacolor Nupastels, Chalk Pastels, Caran d'Ache pastels.

Good question! Be on the lookout for a statement page coming soon where you can learn more about the meaning and inspiration behind my work.

No, they do not come framed but each artwork is matted and ready to pop into a standard size - 8"x10" or 11"x14" frame in your favorite style- white, gold, silver, or natural wood. Each Mat is 4-ply thickness, Acid- free, white core, and beveled cut.

No, Both the gallery stretched canvases and the wood panels create their own frame with a 1-4" depth and can be hung without a frame. The sides are also painted to have a finished look. You are welcome to frame your piece if that is what you would prefer.

All the matts I use are 4-ply thickness, Acid- free, white core, and beveled cut.

Yes, both originals on paper and all other paintings (canvases and wood panels) have a matte varnish that's made to protect artwork from dust and light.

I use Pro Artist tape. It's Acid Free and PH neutral.

I paint on the sides of the wood panel or the gallery stretched canvas as if the painting wraps around the edges or I give the edges a solid color based on what I think the painting needs.
