Purchasing Artwork


    Art is a hands on / eyes on / endeavor, for both the artist and the observer. Making a piece is only part of the process; having someone truly appreciate the work helps bring it together. We are happy to sell our work, and will endeavor to make it as easy as possible to order. Ideally all transactions would be done in person, but given the reality of our wide ranging world, we will do the best we can long distance. If you live within driving distance, we can often arrange a convenient meeting spot for personal delivery.

    Though we strive to keep our website up-to-date, there is sometimes a delay between the time a piece is sold and updating the pages. Please call, email, or write us for availability and price, or with any questions you may have. We can send a higher resolution or closer picture of a work via email or by regular mail. All work is 100% guaranteed. If you are not satisfied with a piece when you receive it, you can return it to us in original condition, packed carefully as it was shipped to you, via insured UPS or Priority Mail within seven days, for a full refund.

    Artwork will be shipped when payment has cleared (usually ten business days). Pieces that are currently on exhibit in a show will be shipped when the show has ended. If you would like to be notified when new work is put on the website, send us your email address and we will be happy to do so. 


ORDERING and PAYMENT  

Payment can be made by check or money order, in U.S. dollars. For convenience you can use  our online  PRINTABLE ORDER FORM . Please include an email address or phone number when you order in case there are any questions. Orders will be shipped when payment has cleared and we will notify you at that time via email (if available) or postcard.


SHIPPING

Wood and Fiber artwork is shipped via insured UPS or insured Priority Mail. Charges are based on the actual cost to ship which varies depending on weight and destination. Contact us for shipping charge. 

Watercolors -- Most of the watercolor paintings are already matted,  framed and glazed with glass. I prefer to sell them ready for hanging as the frame is often an integral part of the look of the painting, and I spend much time choosing the frame to suit the painting. If a frame type is not listed under the painting, it means it is not yet framed so there may be a small delay to allow time for matting and framing.  
          Framed watercolors will be packed and shipped in a special, padded, reusable Airfloat Strongbox designed specifically to safely ship glazed artwork without breakage. A pre-paid return label will be sent with the box for its return via UPS. Simply attach the return label over the shipping label, retape, and drop the box off at any UPS Customer Center or Authorized Shipping Outlet, or give it to a UPS driver. A $60 deposit will be added to your order which will be refunded when the Strongbox is returned. Please let us know when you have shipped the box so we can track it and make sure it arrives safely. We appreciate the prompt return of the box, not only to be able to refund your $60 but so we can use the box for the next order.
          Shipping charges are included in the watercolor prices so no additional shipping charges need be added to your order for paintings shipped within the continental United States. For shipment elsewhere, please contact us for rate.

Damage in Shipment -- Though we've never had a piece damaged in shipment, it can happen. Be sure to fully inspect your package when it is delivered. Any external evidence of loss or damage must be noted on the paper which you sign on receipt. If not noted, claims may be denied by the carrier. If you find damage within when you open the box, be sure to report the damage and file a claim immediately (the same day) with the carrier (UPS or USPS if shipped by Priority Mail). Then contact us so we can help you decide what can be done with the damaged artwork. Hopefully, this is something none of us will ever have to deal with.
