Frequently Asked Questions
Do you do commissions?
I am not taking commissions at this time.
Where can I see your work in person?
My work is currently only available online.
Do you ship internationally?
International shipping is now available. Canvas paintings larger than 30cm (12 inches) will be removed from stretcher bars and shipped in a roll. When you receive the canvas, it will need to re-stretched on a frame. Please get in touch for a shipping quote.
How long did that take to paint?
This is the most difficult question to answer! I generally rotate through several pieces at a time to maintain the creative flow as layers dry. Many hours and days are involved in the painting process. Prices are established by the size of work, the material, and a general understanding of the time required to create a work of art. Each piece is priced by square inch.
What colour did you use?
I create colour mixes from hues that I have learned work best for my work. I have spent many years trying different paints and colours to develop my methods and artistic style. This is proprietary information and I encourage you to explore colour yourself to find what best suits your intentions and style.
Do you teach?
Yes! I was a teacher for several years before focusing on my career as an artist and love to share my knowledge with others.
I offer online classes through my website and will be developing more classes and long-form courses.
At this time I am not offering private lessons.
I love that painting! Can you please teach a class for it?
I love to teach and help people; however, I have spent decades of time and finances on developing my artistic style and practice, and that cannot be given away. I offer some tips and techniques on my YouTube channel and in my online classes, but I do not teach my style. Although it is valuable to learn from other artists, I strongly encourage you to try as many different styles and approaches to art-making as you can. Play with your chosen medium and use inspiration from your own life and environment. Artists’ work is copyrighted and should only be used as a learning reference if you have permission from the artist.
Will you donate a painting to our charity?
Artwork is a valuable product, encompassing significant costs in high-quality materials and the time required for its creation. Behind every artist lies countless hours of study, practice, and investment in costly materials to refine skills and acquire knowledge. Many artists face challenges in earning a livable wage. Therefore, we kindly ask for fair financial compensation rather than being asked to give our work away for free.
