Frequently asked questions

Can I return an item?

Canvas wraps and large format prints are custom made to order at the time of purchase, therefore are final sale. Prints up to size 11x14 may be returned or exchanged. Including all note cards.

(All items must be returned in original, unused condition. Buyer is responsible for all return shipping costs.)

Are your prints framed?

All of my prints are shipped unframed, simply because of the high cost of shipping framed artwork. All of my prints are offered in standard sizes where you can easily purchase a frame of your choice at a Michaels, Hobby Lobby or even a Target. Or you can choose to use a professional framing shop located near you.

Do you offer bulk or wholesale orders?

Yes indeed I do, please message me!

Help! My item arrived damaged!

If your item is damaged while in transit to you (this rarely happens thankfully!), please contact me immediately with a description and a few phone photos of the damage so that I can pass them on to my lab to have a replacement sent to you as soon as possible.

I always want you to love your purchase! If there is a problem with your purchase let me know immediately so we can figure out a resolution, I am always here to help if I can!
