Please contact me within 48 hours of delivery and provide photographs of the artwork and its packaging. Because each artwork is an original and cannot be replaced, I will work with you to arrange a professional repair when possible, or a full refund. Artwork shipments are insured for their full purchase value.
-
I want you to feel confident in your artwork purchase. Original artwork may be returned within 14 days of delivery, provided it is returned in its original condition and packaging.
Please contact me before returning an artwork so I can provide return instructions. The buyer is responsible for return shipping and insurance unless the artwork arrived damaged or defective.
Once the returned artwork has been received and inspected, the refund will be processed within five to seven business days. Original shipping and handling charges, when applicable, are nonrefundable.
Because commissioned artwork is created specifically for the buyer and approved before delivery, commissioned pieces are final sale.

Begin by contacting me through the contact page and sharing as much information as possible about the artwork you envision, including the preferred size, colors, subject, and intended space.
Once we have agreed on the concept, dimensions, price, and expected completion period, a 50% deposit is required before work begins.
When the artwork is completed, I will share photographs with you for review. The remaining balance is due after you approve the finished artwork. The piece will be shipped or released for local pickup only after your approval and final payment.
My commissioned work is interpretive rather than traditional portraiture. I accept commissions for abstract, nature-inspired, cultural, and conceptual works, including compositions with abstracted figures. Preliminary sketches may be used to establish the overall direction while allowing room for the painting to evolve through my creative process.
Commission pricing is based primarily on size and may vary depending on the complexity of the project, materials, and any special requirements. I use professional- quality, archival materials in creating each artwork.

Acrylic and mixed media paintings should be displayed away from direct sunlight and moisture. Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth; no cleaning products are needed. Paper Works should be framed under glass or acrylic for long-term protection. With simple care, your artwork will remain vibrant for many years.
