Frequently Asked Questions
What do you paint?
That’s the question I get asked most often! I paint realistic and semi-abstract landscapes, realistic seascapes, and semi-abstract florals. My work ranges across several styles — from realism and impressionism to surrealism and fauvism — depending on the mood or idea I want to express on the canvas. Look through my collection for contemporary art for the living room, bedroom, hallway or office.
Do you do commissions?
Yes. For sure. I see commissions as team work, my mission is to create your artwork by listening and understanding your recollections of place and viewing images presented. It’s a unique creative process.
Once a price is settled upon. A fair non-refundable 30% start up fee is requested. The resulting artwork requires your approval before completion and final payment. The commissions can take any where from a week to two months to complete, depending on the medium and the level of detail.
Commission an impressionist or abstract style landscape, seascape or still life by sending a contact email.
How’s the art business going?
Well, thanks for asking — it’s going great, but it keeps me busy! Running an art business means wearing a lot of different hats throughout the week. Alongside painting, I’m doing woodwork, prepping, priming, sealing — all the hands-on stuff that keeps the artwork itself in top shape. Then there’s the business side: advertising, emails, documentation, archiving, and maintaining my websites. I also handle product placement with original art sales sites and print houses, organise professional art photography, and take care of hanging, storage, and studio maintenance. Add in commissions, packing, postage, and courier runs — and it’s a full schedule! But I love every part of it; it all helps keep the creative wheels turning and the business thriving.
Do you exhibit?
Yes. I exhibit in various group shows/art prizes through out the year. To see my artworks in person. Studio visits are welcome by appointment. Contact via email.
Do you sell prints?
Yes. I provide links on my Prints page for a range of Print houses who carry my artworks. From highest quality prints to affordable prints for sale.
