*Due to the nature of being a small business during COVID-19, shipping & handling can take a bit longer than a regular retail establishment. Please understand as I work to ensure that you receive your orders in a timely manner.
Shipping Original Art:
I take great care in shipping your purchases. Oil paintings take time to fully dry. I will not ship a painting before it is ready to be tightly packaged. At time of purchase I will provide an estimated time of delivery and it could be as long as 6-8 weeks from time of completing the painting.
Each painting is packaged so that it is best protected in transit. All mail carriers require a minimum of two inches of padding/cushioning on all sides of original artwork for cardboard boxes. ie. A framed 12 x 16 painting measures approximately 18 x 22 x 1 inches square with frame. The required minimum outside dimensions of the cardboard box is 22 x 26 x 6 inches. All artwork is wrapped, padded extremely well, and sent in a well-fitting sturdy cardboard box.
I use either a heavy-duty cardboard box as described above or a custom-made plywood box to ship my paintings.
Most artwork will ship via USPS or FedEX, and most packages arrive within 2-4 days (domestic) from time of shipping (includes tracking & insurance). International shipments will be sent via USPS or other carrier. International buyers, please note that shipping charges may vary from the amount you pay at checkout. Please email me with questions to get an estimate.
Shipping Fine-art Reproduction Prints (Giclees):
All prints are handled with the utmost care, packaged beautifully in paper or plastic sleeve.
Prints 11x14 and smaller are mailed in a sturdy flat mailer while prints 16x20 and larger are mailed in a thick tube.
Shipped via USPS 1st Class Mail or Priority Mail (usually arrives within 1-3 days within the US).
US Shipping Policies:
All orders over $125, domestic shipping is free.
International Shipping Policies:
If you live outside of the US, a flat shipping rate of $35.00 will be charged at check out. As international shipping varies due to destination, if additional shipping costs are required beyond the flat rate of $35.00, you will be invoiced for the remaining amount. The invoice must be paid before the artwork is shipped.
Please note that for international orders, any taxes and duties due upon delivery are the sole responsibility of the purchaser.
Studio Pickup:
If you want to pickup your artwork from my studio, use the code “StudioPickup” at checkout to forgo shipping fees and we will work out a time for you to visit my studio. Please email me to arrange a mutually beneficial time.
