Your Confidence in Buying Original Art

Welcome! You’re in the right place if you’re considering investing in original mixed media art. I created this space to help you buy with clarity, care, and confidence. Below you’ll find how I package, ship, care for, and support your artwork long after it arrives.

1. How to Purchase & Payment Options

  • Every artwork you see is an original, one-of-a-kind.
  • You can pay via credit card, PayPal.
  • Once payment clears, I’ll begin preparing your artwork for shipping or pick up from gallery. 
    Gallery Location.
  • I’ll send you confirmation and tracking information as soon as your work leaves the studio.

2. Packaging & Shipping — From My Studio to Your Wall

I take shipping seriously — your art is precious, and I treat it that way every step of the way:

  • Protective packaging: Your painting is first wrapped in brown packaging paper, then in bubble wrap, and placed into a custom reinforced box.
  • Double-boxing or crating (for larger pieces): For larger works, I use wood crates or double-boxing to absorb shock and protect the piece.
  • Corner protectors & cushioning: All vulnerable edges are shielded, and voids in the box are filled so nothing shifts during transit.
  • Climate considerations: For mixed media works that include delicate layers, I add moisture-control materials or protective layers to prevent warping.
  • Carrier & insurance: I ship only via trusted art-friendly couriers and insure pieces during transit.
  • Tracking & delivery: You’ll receive tracking updates and delivery guidance. If damage occurs en route, contact me immediately and we’ll resolve it.

Note: For very large or very delicate works, I may recommend white-glove delivery or local pickup.

3. Care & Display Tips for Your Artwork

Once your painting arrives, here’s how to keep it glowing:

  • Gentle dusting only: Use a soft, dry brush or microfiber cloth. Avoid solvents, liquids, or sprays.
  • Avoid direct sunlight & humidity extremes: Keep your painting away from windows with strong daylight and away from heat sources or damp areas.
  • Stable environment: Try to keep room temperature and humidity steady; rapid fluctuations can stress materials.
  • Proper framing & mounting: Use quality frames with spacers or museum glass to prevent the artwork from touching glass, especially for textured mixed media.
  • Rotate your view: Occasionally step back, look at your painting from different angles — noticing small changes or settling is part of stewardship.

4. Returns, Refunds & Condition Guarantee

My goal is for you to love every piece. Here’s how returns/refunds work:

  • You have 3 days from delivery to request a return (must be in original packaging, unused).
  • Buyer covers shipping back (unless there’s damage).
  • Once I inspect the piece and it’s in original condition, I’ll issue a refund.
  • If the artwork arrives damaged, take photos immediately (packaging & piece), and contact me — I’ll coordinate claims with the carrier and arrange repair or replacement.

5. Why Trust Me with Your Investment

  • Every piece ships with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by me.
  • I care about the longevity of your art — not just the purchase moment.
  • My process, packaging, and policies are designed to protect your investment and your peace of mind.
  • I’m always here: email or call me personally if you have questions before, during, or after your purchase.
