frequently asked questions
do you have a studio open to the public?
Yes! I am fortunate to have a space at The Stacks Art Studios and Gallery in the Old Mill District here in Bend, Oregon. We are suite 422 (located above the Sisters Coffee and in between Salon Estilo and The Lubbesmeyer Art Studio and Gallery). I am reliably working Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from around 9:30-4:30. We have First Friday events the first Friday of every month from 3-6pm, so thatโs always a great time to come by and shop.
can I commission a painting?
Iโm not currently accepting commissions, but I always love to recommend embellished prints as an alternative. Find out more about embellished prints below, or over in my print shop!
what is an embellished print?
I offer the option of embellishment for all of the prints in my print shop! Embellished prints are a great middle ground between original paintings and prints. After a canvas print is printed, Iโll paint over the top with my brushes and palette knives to add real paint, texture, and shimmer. The extra dimension will make the print look even more like an original painting, at a fraction of the cost. The embellishment is done by hand, so no two embellished prints will be alike. Embellishment is only offered on canvas prints (stretched or unstretched).
my painting or print was rolled and shipped in a tube. how do I flatten it back out?
All paper prints larger than 11x14โ will be rolled and shipped in a tube. Here is my recommended method for flattening it back out:
Prepare a flat, smooth, hard surface for working. Clean it of any grit and particles. Place the print face down on the protective sleeve or archival paper it was shipped with and cover with heavy books overnight. If itโs still a bit curled after this process, you can carefully roll the artwork in the opposite direction of the curl, being extra careful not to crease the paper.
how will my artwork be shipped?
Paper and unstretched canvas prints: Pieces 11x14โ and smaller will ship in a flat mailer, anything larger will ship rolled in a tube. You can expect all orders to be dropped off at the post office within 5-10 business days (+ 2-3 days of shipping time).
Stretched canvas prints and originals: All artwork on stretched canvas will be carefully packed and shipped via UPS Ground.
do you allow local pickup?
Yes! Select the Local Pickup option upon checking out, and youโll receive an email when your order is ready to pick up. Pickup location is at The Stacks Studio in Bend, OR (located in the Old Mill on the 2nd floor above Sisters Coffee). 450 SW Powerhouse Drive Suite 422 Bend, Oregon 97702. Your order will be labeled with your name and can be picked up Mon-Fri 10am - 6pm and Sat from 10am - 4pm.
what is your return/exchange policy?
I donโt accept returns or exchanges on prints or originals unless theyโre damaged during shipping. If you're concerned about color, size, quality, etc., feel free to email me! Iโd be happy to share more photos and/or details about the artwork.
