FAQ
Q: What materials do you use for your artwork?
A: All of my materials are artist grade, sourced with care to ensure the highest quality. I prioritize supporting local art stores for my supplies. For acrylic paint, I love working with TRI ART Paints, Golden, and Holbien brands. My canvases are all gallery depth, stapled on the back and ready to hang with D-rings and wire installed. No framing is needed for my canvas art.
Q: Can you tell me more about your canvas preparation process?
A: Certainly! Some of my canvases have been stretched with new cotton and painted with gesso by me, resulting in a more rustic look at the back. I take pride in refurbishing canvas that I feel needs a complete do-over. Starting over is a feeling of complete rejuvenation for me. I won't overwork a canvas until it has too many layers; I would rather start over with fresh cotton canvas.
Here is an example of the back of a painting with d-rings and wire / title /year and signature is on the back. Signature is on the front as well.
Q: Do your artworks come with any documentation?
A: Absolutely! I include a certificate of authenticity with each artwork, ensuring its provenance and authenticity.
Q: How long does it take to prepare my artwork for shipment after purchase?
