How do you ensure your products are sustainable?

My focus on sustainability begins with the original artwork behind each piece and continues through every step of production. I use eco-friendly materials, reduce waste, and produce in small batches.
What are the benefits of oil paint compared to other mediums?

Richness of color: Oil paintings offer deep, vibrant colors that maintain their brilliance over time. This creates a striking visual impact that enhances any space. Timeless durability: When properly cared for, oil paintings can last for centuries, making them a long-lasting and valuable investment. Unique texture and detail: The thick application of oil paint allows for intricate details and texture, giving each painting a tactile, dimensional quality that stands out. A classic medium: Owning an oil painting connects you to a long tradition of fine art, offering a timeless and sophisticated element to your home or collection.
Do you do commissions?

Do you sell prints?

What is the Freestyle service?

Freestyle is an accessible alternative to a full commission. You provide a few key details, such as the size, theme, and inspiration, and I create something unique based on those prompts. It’s a fun, creative process that lets you enjoy a bespoke piece of art while allowing me the freedom to explore your ideas.
Are your original artworks for sale?

Yes, my original oil paintings are available for purchase. Once they become available, I'll list them here.
How should I care for my oil painting?

To keep your painting in the best condition: Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can cause fading over time. Keep it in a dry, temperature-controlled environment to prevent warping or cracking. Gently dust the surface with a clean, dry cloth; avoid using water or cleaning products. If possible, frame the artwork with UV-protective glass or acrylic for added protection.
Can I clean my oil painting myself?

For regular upkeep, gently dust your painting with a soft, dry cloth. For more significant cleaning needs, it’s best to consult a professional conservator, especially if the painting becomes discolored or damaged over time.
Do I need to frame my oil painting?

Framing is not required but highly recommended to protect the edges of the canvas and add a polished, professional look to the artwork. If you choose to frame, consider using UV-protective glass or acrylic to safeguard the painting from light exposure.
Can I hang my painting in a humid room, like a bathroom?

It’s not recommended to hang oil paintings in rooms with high humidity, like bathrooms or kitchens. Moisture can cause the canvas to stretch or warp, and it may affect the paint layers over time. Opt for a room with stable humidity levels for the best preservation.
What is your return/exchange policy?

I want you to love the wearable art you’ve chosen! If you are not satisfied, I offer returns or exchanges within 14 days of receiving your order, as long as the item is in its original condition with tags attached. Given the personalized nature of my designs, which are rooted in original artwork, I encourage thoughtful purchases to help reduce waste. However, I'm always here to ensure you're happy with your choice.
How long does delivery take once I place an order?

Once your order has been confirmed, someone will be in contact with you to provide an estimated delivery date. Timing may vary depending on the type of artwork or service you’ve purchased.
Do you offer custom or made-to-order options?

Yes! Because my brand is rooted in original artwork, I sometimes offer custom options or variations on my designs. Whether you’re looking for a specific colorway or a unique twist on a design, I’m happy to discuss custom orders. Please reach out to me directly to explore what’s possible.
Can I contact you before purchasing?

Absolutely! Feel free to email me before making a purchase if you have any questions or if I can help ease your mind. I’m happy to discuss the artwork and ensure you feel confident before placing an order.
