1. Do you take commissions?

Yes, I do! If you have a concept or space in mind, I'm happy to work with you to create

something custom. Let's talk to see if it's a good fit for both of us.

​

2. What materials do you use?

I work in mixed media-typically acrylic, inks, oil and cold wax, and hand-painted upcycled

papers. I also incorporate natural materials I find on hikes: leaves, sticks, sand, bark. If it tells

a story, it might end up in a painting.

​

3. Are your materials archival and lightfast?

Yes. I use the highest quality professional-grade, archival materials-paints, mediums,

adhesives, and surfaces. Whenever possible, I choose pigments and components that are

lightfast, meaning they resist fading over time. Each painting is also finished with a

museum-quality archival UV varnish to protect against light, moisture, and dust.

​

4. How should I care for my painting?

Keep artwork in a dry environment and out of prolonged direct sunlight. For added

protection-especially for works on paper-framing under glass or acrylic is a good idea. To

clean, dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. No sprays or cleaning products, please.

​

5. Can I visit your studio?

Yes, my studio is located in Southwest Harbor, Maine. Visits are welcome by

appointment-just reach out and we'll find a time that works.

​

6. Do you ship your work?

I do. Shipping is available anywhere in the U.S., and fees are based on the size of the painting

and the destination. I pack everything carefully to make sure it arrives safely.

​

7. Do you make larger work? Where can I see it?

Yes, I regularly create larger pieces. You can view them on my website, in person at my

studio, or at the galleries that represent me-Artemis Gallery in Northeast Harbor, Maine and

Nepenthe Gallery in Alexandria, Virginia. I also regularly exhibit in juried shows in New York

City, Washington, DC, California, and throughout New England. Upcoming and recent

exhibitions are listed on my website.

 

8. Can I get a discount?

Yes-if you sign up for my newsletter, you'll receive 10% off one painting. If you buy two

pieces, you'll get 10% off the less expensive one. Buy three, and I'll take 15% off the least

expensive item. (Discounts can't be combined.)

​

9. Do you offer workshops or classes?

Occasionally. I announce them through my newsletter or social media when I have one

planned.

​

10. Can I pick up a piece instead of having it shipped?

Yes-local pickup from my studio is always an option and a good way to save on shipping

costs.

​

11. Is everything one-of-a-kind?

Yes. Each piece is original, and most include hand-painted and found materials that can't be

replicated exactly.

 

12. Do you offer framing?

While framing isn't included, I work with a trusted custom framer who creates beautiful floater

frames designed to fit my work. Many of my pieces on paper are mounted to cradled wood

panels using pH-neutral archival adhesive, so they can be displayed without a frame for a

clean, modern look. I typically avoid framing under glass, as it can cause sticking or

condensation damage with acrylic or oil paint and may dull the layered surface of the work.

My archival UV varnish provides durable protection while allowing textures and details to

remain fully visible.
