Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is original art?

    Original art is the first version of the painting either on canvas, birch board or acid free paper. It is where I spend hours creating brush strokes, fine marks, and texture as the art piece comes to life. Each original piece of art is hand signed and delivered with a certificate of authenticity. These pieces vary in size and style.

  • What is a Giclee art print?

    A Giclee art print is a high quality, limited edition art print which is a replica of the original that is printed using museum grade quality paper and ink (unless otherwise stated in listing). Each art print is limited in number and are signed and are limited edition art prints. They are a great way to start collecting some of your favorite art pieces.

  • How will the art be shipped?

    If you are purchasing original art, you will receive a shipping bill based on your delivery area. Your artwork will be packaged for safe delivery and shipped via courier with tracking details. If you are purchasing limited edition art prints, orders are dispatched within 3-5 days working days. Thereafter, they should arrive within 1 to 4 days to the UK/Europe, in 2 to 5 days to North America and 5 to 7 days for Australia/New Zealand. Other destinations may vary - please allow up to 2 weeks for delivery. Once your order is shipped, you will receive a tracking number via email.

Framing

ORIGINAL ART

Most original pieces of art that are painted on canvas or birch board will be ready to hang once you receive the piece. All canvas and birch board pieces will have wire systems attached to them for safest and most steady methods of hanging on your wall. Original art that is on paper will need to be framed once you receive the piece. We recommend hanging behind glass for best possible protection and to ensure longevity of the artwork. If you require a custom framing quote, we can put you in touch with our local framer.

LIMITED EDITION ART PRINTS

When you purchase a limited edition art print, you can select to have the piece custom framed using our service. We recommend you to take care when handling this museum-grade print. Buying a pre-framed print will ensure your artwork is protected and ready to hang.
