Custom and personalized orders

Whether you’re looking for a large abstract work to complement your home, or an intimate portrait to commemorate a new addition to the family or a special occasion, I would be happy to work with you to create the perfect original work of art for you! If you’d like to commission a piece from me, please contact me. Please note there are no refunds on custom or personalized orders.

Gift wrapping and packaging

I would be happy to include a handwritten gift note and ship directly to your gift recipient! Please let me know if your order contains a gift, and whether you would like complementary gift wrapping and a gift note, in the "notes to seller" upon checkout. Gift will be wrapped with brown kraft paper and tied with black and white twine.

Please keep artwork out of the sun, as sunlight may fade some materials over time. I recommend framing artwork under UV-protected glass.
