FAQ

What is your policy for returns?
I do not accept returns.

Which tools do you work with?
Watercolor paints:
Schmincke is professional grade, and their supergranulating colors are among of my favorites.Daniel Smith is also a fantastic choice.
Winsor Newton has my favorite field kit - great for travel and everything else. (I recommend avoiding the student grade “Cotman” series.)
This Sennelier kit is what I currently use when traveling. It’s bigger with lots of room to grow and make your own pans with these.
Ink pens : Sakura Pigma Microns are my bread and butter.
Watercolor paper: Arches cold press watercolor blocks is my standard. If you’re looking to only do linework or just prefer a smoother painting surface, try hot press

How do I care for my original painting?
You can best care for your latest acquisition by entrusting it to professional craftspeople at a specialized frame shop.
I am happy to now offer this service and personally oversee the process - you would receive a full-protected and framed piece ready to be installed in your home.
Please inquire here.Should you opt to have your painting delivered without framing, I still strongly recommend consulting with a professional frame shop. They are experts that will ensure your piece is protected and up the highest archival standards.
They would also be able to assist with aesthetic choices to ensure your latest acqusition is in harmony with your home.
Please keep all original artwork out of direct sunlight. -
What are the details of the prints?
You can expect to receive a professional-grade Fine Art Giclée print on premium watercolor paper that either meets or exceeds the standards set forth by the Fine Art Trade Guild for pH and lightfastness.
They are of an exceptional quality, and as true to the original paintings as possible.

Who owns the artwork?
Check out the legal section here for answers to this and more.
Some private collectors choose to purchase an exclusive license to ensure it will never be reproduced. I’ve also offered non-exclusive licenses to musicians for use as album imagery.
