Do you offer a refund?
We have a 14-day return policy on eligible products, which means you have 14 days after receiving your item to request a return.
To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase. You can find out more about the Refund Policy here.
Originals & Commissions (not eligible)
All original purchases are final and customised, therefore, due to the bespoke nature of a commission originals are not eligible for a return. However, I want you to be absolutely happy with your purchase and can offer up to 2 revisions for commissioned artwork. I am confident that you will love your new artwork and I am committed to offering the highest quality fine art products for you to enjoy!
Fine Art Prints and Canvas Prints (eligibility varies): All our prints are made to order, they are very delicate (one could say extremely). Our quality control and sanitary standards are quite strict and most cannot be re-sold upon return. Only if prints are unhandled and in their original packaging, will they be eligible for return. If returned prints are deemed unfit upon inspection for any reason, we reserve the right to deny a refund.

Can I Commission A Custom Piece?
My commissions for 2023 are currently open. Please submit your request in the commission form and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
-
What types of custom paintings do you do?
Through my years of practice I’ve painted a wide variety of subjects. These days I especially love painting landscapes.
-
How long does a commission take?
The timing varies for each painting due to the size and complexity as well as my current schedule. If you have a specific event or date that you’d like a painting for, I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs. We can discuss this on a call.
-
Border Sizes?
All prints include a 1” white border around the image to allow for future framing and matting if desired. The size listed in the product description is the final size of the artwork. The artwork itself is printed a bit smaller than the final product size.

-
Is it hard for you to let go of your original paintings?
My paintings are part of me, they represent what is in my heart and mind. But, It makes me really happy when someone loves and appreciates my art enough to make it a part of their home.

-
Do you varnish your paintings?
I do, I love Gamvar gloss varnish by Gamblin. I usually apply a thin layer of varnish onto the canvas with a flat brush and I like to give the painting extra protection with two coats. I also like Winsor & Newton Satin Varnish. Depending on the work I create, I decide which one is more suitable.
