Commissions and Purchasing Information

Whether you are gifting yourself or someone else, an original piece of art of your beloved pet (cat, dog, reptile, horse, bunny, pet rock, etc)  is a keepsake to be cherished forever.
I have had the immense joy of creating these pieces whether it be for someone who lost their beloved pet and wanted to have a unique way to remember them or just a great way to display your favorite fur-babies in your home.
I also create wildlife images of an array of animals (any animal really!)
I use quality materials and can include framing if desired (cost applies)

Additional Purchasing Information

Prices range due to several factors such as: size, complexity, supplies etc. I prefer to finalize a price with my clients directly. Please contact me so we can discuss further but here are some base prices based on size and single subject:
5×7 or 6×6 – $150
8×8 or 8×10 – $250
12×12 or 11×14 – $350
14×18-$450
16×20-$550
18×24-$650
24×36-$850

I do collect 50% of the commission fee at time of booking to hold your place on my calendar and the remaining balance at time of completion.

I use a lot of detail and care in my work and it does take time to accomplish this. I typically ask for 3-4 months for completion depending on the subject and current bookings. However, if your timeline is shorter please reach out and we can discuss.

Framing: I offer framing with all my commissioned pieces but it is optional. Many of my original art scratchboard pieces come framed and can not be unframed. These are secured for exhibiting. I do use high quality frames that compliment the piece.

Shipping does accrue additional cost. I am happy to provide a shipping estimate in advance. I utilize a shipping resource to get competitive rates.

While I am unable to guarantee the arts safety in transit, I make every effort to package the artwork to minimize any risk of damage..

Satisfaction Guarantee: I do my best to represent my artwork as close to how it looks in real life. If you are not satisfied with your purchase and notify me within 7 days of arrival I will refund your purchase minus any shipping or insurance cost after received/returned to me. If you do not like the frame, re-framing is at the purchasers expense. I will always send photos ahead of time that include the frame.
