Frequently Asked Questions
DELIVERY
How much are shipping costs?
Currently I am offering free shipping to the UK.
Do you offer international shipping?
If you’re outside of the UK, please send me an enquiry using the contact form and I will provide you with a quote on shipping.
How long will I be waiting for my art once I’ve paid for it?
I aim to have all orders dispatched within 7-10 business days.
If you have ordered a limited edition print this time allows me to have it printed and for me to sign and package your print. If there is going to be a delay due to unforeseen circumstances, for example if my printer’s have a busy workload, I will get in contact. If you need it sooner, please get in touch and I will do my best to facilitate this.
If you have ordered original artwork please allow up to 14 business days to receive your original artwork as these need additional measures to ensure safe transit. This time allows me to package your order securely to protect the artwork.
If you have ordered photography prints, A5 wall art prints or greetings cards these will usually be dispatched within 3-5 business days.
How will my order be shipped?
For all orders requiring postage costs I try my best to keep these to a minimum. I don’t buy fancy packaging or charge you extra for it.
I use Royal Mail to post my orders. For orders of £20 or less these are send as standard mail. For orders over £20 I use the Second Class Signed For service through Royal Mail. For very large orders I tend to use Parcel Force due to weight and value.
You will receive an email upon dispatch.
All prints are packaged with backing board in a cellophane bag in a ‘Please do not bend’ envelope.
Originals will be wrapped and packaged securely according to size and weight.
Can I collect in person?
Yes, absolutely! This also helps me so I don't have to cover shipping costs!
Please select this option at checkout if you would like to collect your artwork in person. I will then email/text you to arrange a suitable date and time for collection.
Please note when choosing this option that I am based in Husbands Bosworth, Leicestershire, LE17.
COMMISSIONS
Do you take commissions?
Yes, on occasion, I will take commissions. Send me a message on the contact form and we can discuss your individual needs.
Commissions are currently closed until April 2026.
Can you draw or paint from photos?
Yes. This is my preferred method to work from and am happy to help you choose appropriate photos to use as reference.
How much do you charge for commissions?
I charge £30 per hour which includes all materials (Framing is an additional cost or you can provide the frame yourself, this is often the option my customers choose as they want a frame to match their home decor).
If you send an enquiry for a commission I will generate a quote for your requirements.
If you decide to go ahead with the commission a 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your booking in my diary.
FRAMING
Do your prints come framed?
No, prints do not come framed, if you buy a limited edition print you will receive the print only.
Are frames included with original artworks?
Where stated in individual artwork descriptions, frames may be included with originals.
What frames do you use?
The frames I use are inexpensive, (unless stated as a custom made frame).
There are a few reasons for this.
Nowadays, most people want to match a frame with their decor and style, so they may change the frame once they have received their order. I try to use frames to compliment the work, not detract from them.
Also, if I used more expensive frames I would have to charge a lot more for my Art. Framing is a costly and laborious task, therefore, it is much easier for me to use inexpensive frames for my artworks and not raise my prices.
Where stated that I have used a custom made frame for a piece of artwork the price will reflect this. On occasion I will work with local framers Lilypad Fine Arts in Leicestershire to frame certain pieces.
