Frequently asked questions

Questions before collecting? You’re not alone — here are a few answers.

Are these original paintings or prints?

All works in this collection are original, one-of-a-kind paintings. No prints or reproductions.

What materials do you use?

Each piece is created with acrylic paint on canvas, using a layered process that allows for variation and unpredictability within a consistent structure.

Are the paintings framed?

Paintings are sold unframed with painted edges. The 0.5″ canvas depth gives them a clean, minimal profile that can be displayed as-is or framed to your preference.

When will my painting ship?

Orders ship within 5–7 business days from my studio in Charlotte, North Carolina.

How are the paintings packaged?

Each piece is carefully packaged to ensure it arrives safely. I like to treat them like they’re being sent back to me 🙂

Do you accept returns?

All sales are final. If you have questions before purchasing, please reach out — I’m happy to help.

Do you offer discounts for multiple purchases?

If you’re interested in collecting multiple pieces, please reach out before purchasing.

Will you be releasing more work like this?

Yes — this is part of an ongoing series exploring repetition and variation. Future releases will build on this process while continuing to evolve. Sign up for my mailing list to be the first to know when the next series will drop.

Can I see the painting(s) in person?

If you’re local to Charlotte, please reach out — studio visits are available  by appointment.

Do you ship internationally?

I’m currently shipping within the U.S. only, but if you live elsewhere, please get in touch. I’m happy to discuss international shipping rates.
