Rush requests

If you require an expedited timeline for your commission, please note your request appropriately on the questionnaire form above. Rush requests are subject to approval and cost an additional fee, which will be discussed along with a feasible timeline during your consultation.

Shipping & local pickup

Local pickup is free and highly encouraged for clients within the Central Jersey area. For all other orders, shipping costs are calculated dynamically based on your location.

Sales tax

NJ sales tax (6.625%) applies to local pickup orders and anything shipping to a New Jersey address — all orders shipping elsewhere won’t include this tax.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How long will it take to receive my painting?

Because custom projects depend on many factors, such as your requested size, design complexity, and my current studio schedule, timelines will vary per project. Using the information you provide on your questionnaire form — including any pertinent deadlines, rush requests, or event requirements — I will propose a tentative completion timeline, which we will review together during your free consultation. Adjustments can be made as needed (within feasible limits) to the Target Completion Date prior to contract signing. Please refer to the “What to expect” section for an overview of how commission timing works.

Can I request an expedited timeline for my commission?

Rush requests are available but are not automatically guaranteed — they are dependent on my current studio schedule. I will do my best to accommodate one, and if feasible, we will discuss and agree upon a realistic timeline during your consultation. Please note that these requests move your project ahead of my standard queue: there is still a minimum standard processing time for the paint to properly dry and cure, so this request will not produce immediate results.

Do you ship internationally?

Currently, shipping is strictly limited to addresses within the United States only. For clients in the Central Jersey area, free local pickup can easily be coordinated at a public safe exchange spot upon completion!

What if my commission arrives damaged?

All commissions are final sale, since each piece is created specifically for you. Every painting is carefully and securely packaged before it ships. Standard carrier insurance (up to $100 through USPS or UPS) is included on every shipped piece at no extra cost. If your piece arrives damaged, please contact me within 48 hours of delivery with photos of the damage and the original packaging, and I will coordinate the necessary steps for filing a claim with the shipping carrier, as needed.
