Paintings

What medium are your original paintings?
I work mainly in water based mediums; acrylic paint, watercolour, inks and pencils. Further details will usually be listed alongside each piece.

Are your paintings framed?
It can vary though most work is sold framed; there is a picture of each painting in its frame on the website.
Paintings on cradled wood usually have a contemporary wooden frame, some painted some natural wood. Details will be with each work. Please contact me if you would like bespoke advice or have any further questions – framing can be an art in itself!

Will my painting be ready to hang?
Yes, all paintings will come ready to hang. (with cord, wire or hanging straps) You just need to decide where!

My favourite painting has sold – how can I be sure to know about new work?
Some pieces sell very quickly. Make sure you join my mailing list to find out about new work before it is added to the Shop. But, as I try not to bombard you with emails, you can also follow studio progress on Instagram or Facebook to see work coming up.

How will my painting be packaged/ wrapped?
It depends on size, but paintings will be carefully packed using corner protection, bubble wrap and cardboard. Each one is unique so I take care that is well protected to arrive in perfect condition.

Do you do special commissions?
Currently I’m not taking on any new commissions, as I’m working on a new body of work. If you like my style then one of those may be the one for you!
