Shipping

Oil paintings take a very long time to dry, so it may be necessary to add an additional couple of weeks for shipping if the paintings are not done drying at the time of purchase.

All originals are wrapped in protective paper and plastic and shipped in a sturdy bao with PLENTY of padding. Shipping rates vary by size. I ship via USPS, FedEx, or UPS, and work arrives 3-5 days from ship date. 

Work larger than 48" on one side can either be shipped via freight or unstretched with stretcher bars included in the box for a lower rate (stretching can be done at your local framer for approximately $100-200).

Shipping costs are a flat $5 rate no matter the order size.

Florida Tax Note

Florida collectors will be charged a 7% sales tax at checkout.

International

International rates are calculated at check out and can be hard to predict based on customs and border considerations. If more or less is required to ship, I will credit or invoice you directly prior to shipment. I appreciate your patience. Please contact me with any questions!

Caring for your painting

Your painting is forever!

I take great care to ensure best practices for producing a permanent painting, including careful attention to long-lasting mediums and lightfast colors. I primarily paint with Gamblin and Williamsburg Oil Colors, both excellent quality and long-lasting.

I offer complimentary varnishing and use Gamvar by Gamblin, which is removable with proper solvents and protects the painting from dirt and damage. With these protocols in place, your painting will last.

Lightfast pigments are advertised to even be able to withstand direct sunlight, however, it’s generally advised to minimize harsh sunlight as much as possible.
