how it works —

Purchasing a painting

The short version: original paintings ship free within the contiguous United States, fully insured and professionally packed. If it doesn't feel right in your space, you have 10 days to start the return process — no difficult questions asked. I want you to love what's on your wall.

Shipping

Contiguous US — free. Every painting ships fully insured, professionally packed, and tracked from my studio to your door. You'll receive photos of the packed work before it leaves and tracking information the day it ships. Delivery typically takes 5–10 business days depending on your location.

Alaska, Hawaii, and US territories — please inquire first. Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, and US territories is available but costs vary significantly by location and painting size. Reach out before purchasing and I'll give you an exact quote with no obligation.

US military addresses (APO / FPO / DPO) — usually free. Most military addresses qualify for the same contiguous-US rate via USPS Priority Mail. Larger pieces and overseas bases may need a custom quote. Please reach out so I can confirm before you purchase.

International — please inquire first. I ship internationally on a case-by-case basis. Customs, duties, and import taxes vary by country and are the responsibility of the buyer. I'll walk you through what to expect for your location before you commit to anything.

The 10-day guarantee

Art should feel right where it lives. If it doesn't, I want to know.

You have 10 days from delivery to decide. If you'd like to return a painting, contact me within that window and I'll guide you through the process. The painting must be returned in its original condition and packaging, and return shipping costs are the buyer's responsibility. Refunds are issued in full once the work arrives back safely.

This policy exists because I believe in what I make, and because buying original art should never feel like a risk.

Sales tax

Sales tax is applied at checkout based on your delivery address, in accordance with applicable state laws.

Commissions and large-format work

Commissions are handled differently. Pricing, timeline, shipping, and payment structure are discussed personally before any work begins. If you're interested in a commission, start here.

A note on buying original art

There is only one of each painting. Once it finds a home, it's gone from the gallery.

If something catches your eye, it's worth reaching out — even just to ask questions. I respond personally to every inquiry, usually within a day.
