Purchasing Existing Work
I offer original works of art for purchase. Pricing reflects both the time invested in creating each piece and the cost of materials. I believe in transparency, so all prices are set and non-negotiable.
When an original artwork is sold, a print may still be available. Prints typically range from $10–$20, depending on size. Optional embellishments can be added for an additional fee; pricing varies based on the materials and techniques used.
If you’re interested in a piece that isn’t currently listed in my shop, I’m happy to upload it and send you a direct link. For your convenience, you may also browse my art shop first to see what’s already available. The link is below.
Commissions
I am not currently accepting commissions. When commissions reopen, I will only accept projects that align with my artistic style.
All commissions require a 50% non-refundable deposit paid upfront. This deposit covers materials and initial labor. A client contract will be emailed to you and must be signed before work begins.
Commission Payments
Payments can be made through my Art Shop or via a PayPal invoice.
I do not accept checks.
Work on your commission will begin only after:
The 50% deposit has been received
The signed client contract has been returned
What to Expect During the Commission Process
Editing & Planning Phase
Before starting the final artwork, I will provide a simple outline sketch to ensure I fully understand your vision. Once you approve the sketch, I will begin the piece.
A 5x8 illustration typically takes 1–2 weeks to complete.
Important Notes on Changes
Requests for additions or changes after work has begun may result in an increased total price. This is because changes may require restarting the artwork on new paper, additional materials, and extra time (often an additional work week).
Once any additional payment is received, I will continue work on the piece.
Finished Artwork
If you decide you no longer want the finished artwork, you are not obligated to pay the remaining balance. In that case, I will retain the piece and offer it for sale in my online shop to recoup time and material costs.
Please note: The initial 50% deposit is non-refundable.

Shipping & Handling
Shipping and handling costs are additional for orders outside New York State. Please provide your location so I can calculate the correct shipping fee and include it in your invoice.
Returns (Commission Work Only)
If you decide to cancel after the artwork is completed and wish to return it, the second half of the payment will be refunded once the original artwork is returned to me in its original condition.
