FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Buying original art shouldn't be mysterious. If your question isn't here, just ask.

Are these original artworks or prints?

Every piece marked "original" in the shop is an original, one of a kind. Each painting and sculpture is made by hand in my Los Angeles studio, and once a piece sells, it’s gone.

Does the work arrive framed?

Paintings ship unframed and ready to hang. The edges are finished, so a canvas looks complete on the wall exactly as it arrives. If you’d rather frame a piece, any good framer can work from the dimensions listed on its product page. Ceramic sculptures ship as they are, and each listing notes whether the piece hangs or stands.

Is the work signed?

Yes. Every piece is signed on the back (painting) or bottom (ceramic).

Do I get a certificate of authenticity?

Yes. A signed Certificate of Authenticity comes with every original, listing the title, year, medium and dimensions.

How is the work packed and shipped?

Everything ships professionally packed and fully insured. Smaller works go out within 5 to 7 days. Large or crated pieces take 2 to 3 weeks, because they get a custom crate built around them rather than being squeezed into a box. I email you directly with timing and tracking once your piece is on its way.

How much is shipping?

Shipping is free anywhere in the United States. It’s already built into the price, so the number on the product page is what you pay. California orders have state sales tax added at checkout.

Do you ship internationally?

Checkout is set up for United States addresses at the moment. If you’re outside the US and there’s a piece you want, email me. Large work needs custom crating and a freight quote, and I’d rather price it properly for you than guess.

Can I return a piece?

Because each work is one of a kind, all sales are final. Damage is a different matter. If a piece arrives damaged, send me photos within 48 hours and I’ll make it right. Everything ships insured for exactly this reason.

Do you take commissions?

Sometimes, depending on what you have in mind and what else I have scheduled. Get in touch with the scale, the space it’s going into and your timeline, and I’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a good fit.

The piece I wanted is sold. What now?

Email me. I often have related work that hasn’t been listed yet, and I can let you know when new pieces from the same body of work are finished.
