Frequently Asked Questions
Original Artwork FAQ
How do you create your paintings?
I work primarily outside on location painting from life. I only work in the studio if I am adding final touches to a painting or I am including elements from my imagination. My goal is to infuse my work with the energy of nature as much as possible. You can read more about my process on my about page and letters to investors, patrons, and friends.
Where can I view your work in person?
I primarily offer my work online through my website. If you would like to view a work of art in person, you can visit any local places currently showing my work, or get in touch and we can set up a meeting.
The best way to stay informed about upcoming exhibits and showings is to join my mailing list:
Join My Mailing ListHow do I order an original painting?
Please reach out via email [email protected] or by phone (508-561-9620) if you are interested in purchasing an original painting. We will discuss details and delivery options before payment.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes I do. All original work can be paid for at once or over time. Please reach out to discuss details if you are interested in a payment plan.
Is all original artwork signed?
Yes, I sign all of my original artwork. A certificate of authenticity will be provided as well.
How should I frame works on paper?
We recommend having the work custom framed with archival materials. UV protective glass should be used to protect the work from damage and light. Spacers should be used between the artwork and the glass to allow the artwork to breath and prevent moisture build up.
How should I frame paintings on canvas or board?
Unless the work is too large to ship stretched (in which case it will be shipped rolled), your painting will arrive wired and ready to hang as is. Many people opt to frame the work in which case we recommend getting it custom framed with archival materials. There is no need to use glass for paintings done on canvas or board.
Do you help with framing?
For those who are local to Marlborough MA, I am happy to meet with you at my local framer and support you in picking out the best frame for the artwork.
