FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you do custom paintings, a.k.a. commissions?
Absolutely! Contact me to start the process. I work from a photograph provided by you. I can work from a few photographs and merge images to create a painting just how you’d like it. I frequently do homes, engagement spots, wedding venus and pets. I am open to any ideas you may have, so don’t be shy, I love “out of the box” ideas! *I will say, I have a painting style that you can see in my portfolio. I tend to enhance and slightly brighten the colors from their reality. I use more suggestive brushstrokes and a mixture of thick and thin paint. My style WILL come through every painting I do, so look forward to that! *The lead time for a painting is 6-8 weeks.
What is gallery wrapped canvas?
This is the canvas I typically work on. It is a nice clean look when hanging on the wall, because it does not require a frame. The canvas itself is 1.5 inches thick, and I continue the painting onto these edges.
What if I want to frame my painting?
You can still have a gallery wrapped canvas framed at one of your local custom framing shops. If you are ordering a custom painting that you know you would like to frame, It would be easier for you (and less expensive) if you request to have it painted on traditional canvas (.5 inches thick).
How much do custom paintings cost?
Cost is based on size and subject. Minimum size is 8”x10” starting at $250 plus sales tax & shipping.
Can I do a free local pick up?
You sure can! If you are local to the Capital Region of New York, we can coordinate getting the painting to you. At this time I do not have a specific pick up location so this would be decided upon on a client to client bases.
When do you accept custom painting requests for the holidays?
Get your ideas together ASAP for holidays, its a rolling acceptance. Custom paintings take 6-8 weeks to complete, then consider shipping time. I stop taking Christmas orders NOVEMBER 1st.
Do you work with Interior Design professionals?
Yes! I love working with design professionals, and would be honored to help create the perfect piece for your client. Discounted pricing is available for you, contact me to discuss things further.
Do you create a yearly calendar of your art?
Yes! Taking a year off for 2019, but they will be back STRONG for 2020! I launch my mini (5”x7”) desk calendar, on easel at the end of October each year. They are always available online on my website. They are a great stocking stuffer, or gift for that hard to get friend or neighbor. Each month displays an original painting of mine and inspirational quote. They are $15 plus $5 shipping. *Join my mailing list, sign up here, to get notified right when they become available. Only 200 are printed each year.
How often do you launch new paintings for sale online?
This is not yet consistent or routine so I suggest to make sure you are on my mailing list, sign up here, to be the first to know (24hrs in advance) of when new paintings will be listed for purchase online. The last painting launch before the holidays is always around Black Friday.
Do you ever have sales?
Yes and no. Randomly, around holidays I will offer up to 10% off of my prints only. Never on originals.
Do you sell wholesale to small business retailers?
Yes, I love working with local (and not so local) small businesses! Please contact me if you are interested in stocking some of my art. I do have wholesale pricing available or, lets collaborate!
