Do you work off of photos?

Yes! Photos are easiest to work from as long as they are in high resolution. I can only paint what I see. Please remember to send all photos in the highest resolution possible.

Can you combine multiple photos into one painting?

Sometimes! I’ll have to take a look at the photos first. As long as the photos are clear, are taken from a similar angle and have similar lighting, I can make it work! Please understand that this is one of the hardest tasks in fine art. It will cost more than a standard painting.

How long does it take to complete a painting?

Paintings can range from 1 day to 1 week to complete. Then it takes an additional 2 weeks for the painting to dry.

How far ahead should I order my painting?

I am generally booked 1 month out. If you allot for dry time and shipping time, you should order 2 months ahead

I want to give a painting as a gift but don’t want to break the bank.

Small paintings on canvas board (frameables) in 5x7” or 8x10” would be under or close to $100. Small 11x14” pet portraits or botanicals would be around $120. There are affordable options for any budget!

Does my painting need to be framed?

95% of my paintings are made on stretched canvas. Stretched canvases don’t need to be framed, but can be if you prefer to! The other 5% are made on canvas boards. Canvas boards need to be framed if you’re planning on hanging it on the wall. Anything painted on a canvas board is described as so.

What information do I need to include in my custom painting inquiry?

You will need to briefly describe the painting you are wanting. If you have a size in mind, include that! If you have a budget, great! Include that as well. Once I respond, you can send me any photo that is relevant to your request. Don’t stress about this part. I’ll ask you any additional questions I have!
