Frequently Asked Questions

How did you learn to paint?
I am very grateful to my mom who introduced me to paint-by-numbers when I was very young. I enjoyed it but became frustrated with the limitations. When I was about 12-13 she taught me the basics of painting freehand. Other than that I am self-taught. My mom passed away a few years ago, and I have many of her paintings and a few that she started but never finished. I plan to finish those paintings one day.

I also enjoy watching other artists online tutorials from time to time and have learned about new techniques and materials from them.

Do you use oil paint exclusively?
I use acrylic as well as oil. I have tried watercolor and pastels but always go back to oil, acrylic, or oil over acrylic.

Is it hard for you to let go of your original paintings?
Not really, as I enjoy sharing my work with others. Some of the paintings of family I wouldn’t let go of because of the obvious sentimental value.

Do you sell your paintings?
Yes, I sell my original paintings here on my online Shop for Originals or Shop for Prints. In addition to my originals, I also have prints, canvas prints, and other merchandise available.

Do you take returns?
All sales are final, except in the case of defect or damage. If your product has been damaged please contact the shipping carrier as soon as possible and keep the box and packaging. You can CONTACT ME with any problems regarding your order and I will try my best to resolve any issues.
