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.

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 class 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.
