How To Purchase

Q- How does it work if I want to purchase something?

A. First, fill out your information on the contact form and be sure to include the name or number of the painting you're interested in. I will calculate the final cost, including shipping and tax (if necessary), and send you an invoice.

Q- What does it cost to ship a painting or print?

A. That depends... Smaller paintings are simple to ship. Larger pieces require crating. I usually ship via FedEx. I will do all I can to minimize shipping costs, but shipping is expensive. I will calculate a shipping cost and let you know how much it will be before you finalize the purchase. At this time, I only ship to addresses in the US.

Q- What are the options for prints?

A. At this time, I am offering prints on either canvas or high-quality art paper. They can be printed up to 44" wide by almost any length. Canvas prints are sprayed with a protective coating and are available as flat prints or stretched over 1.5'' thick wooden stretcher bars that will arrive ready to hang. Prints less than 16' x 20" will be shipped flat. Larger flat prints will be shipped rolled in a tube. Large stretched canvas prints will require crating just like an original.

Q- What does "Giclee" mean?

A. Giclee (pronounced "zhee'clay") is a type of fine art print created by using a specialized high-resolution inkjet printer. Giclee prints stand apart with their extremely high level of quality and longevity.

Q- What does "Gallery Wrap" mean?

A. A Gallery-wrapped canvas simply means the canvas fabric is stretched over extra-deep (1.5") wooden stretcher bars. The canvas completely covers the stretcher bars and is attached to the back so no staples are visible. I always continue the painting over all 4 sides, giving a more dimensional look when viewed at an angle. Gallery wrap canvases require no additional framing, although they can be framed if you prefer.

Q- Can I commission a custom piece?

A. Absolutely! I would love to discuss your vision for the perfect art piece for your space. Commissions require a 50% deposit.

Q- I am coming to Hawaii. Can I see your work in person?

A.You bet! If you are visiting the Big Island, please contact me to schedule a studio tour. Some of my paintings are also on display at Sunshine Arts Gallery in Kane'ohe, Oahu.
