Frequently Asked Questions

What inspires your paintings?

Most of my paintings begin with a moment in nature that makes me pause—North Carolina sunsets, the layered greens of trees and plants, or a place that carries a strong sense of memory. I’m less interested in painting a perfect landscape than in capturing how a place feels when you remember it.

Will the painting look exactly like the photos?

I photograph each painting carefully in natural light so the colors appear as accurate as possible. However, colors can vary slightly depending on screen settings.

If you ever have questions about a painting before purchasing, you are welcome to contact me and I’m happy to send additional photos.

What kinds of paintings do you offer?

I offer original acrylics painted in layers on stretched canvas. I work from photographs I have taken or someone has shared with me. The composition of the scene and the colors are usually what stops me in my tracks. I fully feel the healing and calming effects of nature and the color green. I enjoy bringing those feelings into the house and love to share the pieces with you.

Are the paintings original?

Yes. Every painting is an original work created by hand by me in my Raleigh studio. I do sell limited prints of these originals and magnets with reproductions of my work.

Do you offer prints?

Yes! I offer limited prints. If I do not have a print that matches the piece that calls to you or is not the right size, contact me and I can usually prepare one for you. Note that I am new to this process so please be patient as I work to make sure you receive the best quality product as quickly as possible. I am not Amazon, however, so if you have occasions to celebrate, gifts to give, or you see a piece you just can't live without, please act early.

How are paintings packaged for shipping?

Paintings are carefully wrapped in protective materials and shipped in sturdy boxes to ensure they arrive safely. Prints will be placed in firm packing envelopes.

Do you accept returns?

Because artwork is a personal purchase, I generally do not accept returns. However, if a painting arrives damaged, take a picture of it and please contact me within 48 hours so I can make it right.

Can I see the painting in person?

If you’re in the Raleigh area, you may occasionally see my work at local art shows or markets. Announcements for these events will be shared on Instagram.

Do you take commissions?

Yes, depending on availability. So much fun! If you are interested in a custom piece inspired by a place or color palette you love, feel free to reach out through the contact page.
