What is the lead time for artwork?
Fine Art Print : Prints are certainly one of the quickest options to choose when looking for artworks! As each piece is printed to your size requirements and if opted for hand embellished. Once dry prints will then be carefully packaged up with certification. I aim to work towards 2-3 weeks to dispatch. I typically use Royal mail tracked delivery unless outside of the UK in which case Courier may very. Tracking will be provided so that you can keep tabs on you exciting parcel!
Original Art on Canvas
Whilst they are readily available they do require a small lead time to allow for framing. This is because the frame is made to order in your choice of finish and then fitted professionally in house, with hanging fixtures for your ease. This typically takes 2-4 weeks.
If you have any questions at all please do get in touch!

What is the difference between a commission, a print and an original?
Original art is art that was created by the artist, by hand. It's a one-of-a-kind.
A print is a high-quality image reproduction of an original artwork, that is then printed onto a new material like paper or canvas . Art prints allow people to own and enjoy a copy of an artwork that may not be accessible or affordable in its original form.
Commissioning art is the process of hiring an artist to create an original piece/pieces of artwork, based on certain requests.
Can artwork be shipped Internationally?

Can you frame my artwork or advise on frames :
Fine Art Prints : I don't unfortunately supply frames for artwork on paper as framing can be such a personal choice in terms of mount size, colour, material.
Canvases : Adding a frame to a canvas is a great way to finish a piece and also add significant value to the artwork. If selected I have a frame professionally made upon completion of the artwork as per your chosen colour and style requirements. We can discuss this further via the 'Lets Talk' tab.

The Size I'm after isn't available?
Fine Art Print : I print on Standard International Paper Sizing, the measurements can be found on either 'My frame guide' or 'paper size guide' but if you have a frame that you love and my paper sizing is not suitable please do get in touch as I may be able to trim them slightly to fit your frame or size requirement. .
