Shipping Policy for Original Paintings
Original paintings are available for shipment within the United States only. I do not currently offer international shipping.
Shipping is billed separately from the purchase price of the painting. Because shipping costs depend on the painting’s size, framing, destination, packing requirements, insurance, and carrier service, I provide an individual shipping estimate after the painting is purchased.
Shipping Estimate
Within 2–4 business days of your purchase, I will contact you to confirm the delivery address and provide a separate shipping estimate.
The estimate may include professional packing materials and labor, carrier charges, tracking, signature confirmation, insurance or declared-value coverage, and—when required—custom boxing, crating, special handling, or freight delivery. Shipping charges must be approved and paid before shipment is arranged.
Packing and Preparation
After payment of the shipping invoice, please allow 3–7 business days for careful packing and preparation.
Large, framed, fragile, or oversized paintings may require a custom box or crate. Please allow an additional 1–2 weeks for these works, depending on the materials and services required.
Standard Shipping
Paintings are normally sent by a standard, non-expedited ground service, with tracking and signature confirmation when appropriate.
For most addresses in the contiguous United States, standard ground delivery generally takes 1–5 business days after the carrier accepts the shipment. Deliveries to Alaska and Hawaii generally take 3–7 business days.[1][2]
You will receive tracking information when your painting has been shipped.

Local Pickup
Local studio pickup may be available by appointment. If you are interested in pickup, please contact me before purchasing so arrangements can be confirmed.
Damage in Transit
Please inspect the package and painting promptly upon delivery. If the package or artwork appears damaged, retain all packaging and contact me within 48 hours with photographs of the shipping container, packing materials, shipping label, and damage.
I will work with you and the carrier to document and resolve a shipping-damage claim. Please do not discard packing materials or return a damaged painting before receiving instructions.
Address Changes
Please provide a complete and accurate delivery address. Any fees resulting from an incorrect address, a missed delivery, redelivery, storage, return shipment, or reshipment are the collector’s responsibility.
