Questions & Answers
Fine Art Originals
A Fine Art Original is a one-of-a-kind artwork created entirely by hand.
No reproductions of the original artwork exist in its original form. Any printed works or cards reproduce imagery only and do not replicate the original artwork itself.
Yes. Every original artwork is completely unique. Due to the layered, intuitive, and mixed-media nature of my process, no piece can ever be recreated or replicated.
Yes. All original artworks are hand-signed by the artist and dated.
Yes. Each Fine Art Original includes a Certificate of Authenticity along with a Blessed Artwork Certificate, confirming the artwork’s originality, title, materials, size, and date of creation.
Original artworks are created using professional-grade, archival materials and may include layered acrylics, mixed media, handmade papers, earth pigments, and natural elements inspired by the surrounding landscape.
These materials are chosen for their longevity, depth, and connection to place.
Each original artwork is created intentionally and completed with a quiet blessing process, honouring beauty, presence, and peace within the space it inhabits.
This is offered as a personal and meaningful layer of the work, without altering its artistic integrity.
Some originals may later be released as limited edition prints, while others will remain original-only.
If an artwork is released as a print, the edition will always be strictly limited to protect the integrity of the original and its collectors.
Framing details are clearly stated in each artwork listing.
In-person viewings may be available by appointment for local collectors. Please contact me to enquire.
Original artworks are priced to reflect the time, materials, process, and artistic vision involved.
While art should always be collected for love first, original works often hold strong long-term value due to their singular nature.
Due to their unique and irreplaceable nature, Fine Art Originals are final sale, unless damaged during transit. In the rare event of damage, please contact me within 48 hours of delivery.
Originals are professionally packaged using archival materials, protective wrapping, and rigid supports. Larger works may be shipped in custom crates to ensure safe delivery.
Limited Edition Prints
Each artwork is released as a strictly limited edition of 30 prints only. Once all 30 are sold, the edition is permanently closed and will never be reprinted in that size or format.
Limiting each edition to 30 preserves the integrity, rarity, and collectability of the artwork.
This approach bridges the space between owning an original and a mass-produced print — offering collectors a piece that remains special, considered, and exclusive.
Yes. Every limited edition print is hand-signed and individually numbered (e.g. 5/30), confirming its place within the edition.
Yes. Each print includes a Certificate of Authenticity detailing the artwork title, edition size (30), print number, medium, and signature.
No. Once the edition of 30 has sold out, it is never reprinted, resized, or reproduced again. This commitment protects collectors and ensures long-term value.
Limited edition artworks often hold stronger long-term value than open editions due to their scarcity.
While art should always be purchased for love first, owning a low-edition print offers both beauty and collectability.
Pricing may increase as an edition nears completion. Early collectors benefit from securing a piece at the initial release price.
When an edition sells out, it is marked as Sold Out and archived. No further prints of that artwork will be produced in that format.
Limited edition prints are produced using museum-quality giclée printing on archival canvas, capturing the depth, texture, and tonal nuance of the original artwork with exceptional fidelity.

This tracking number will link to the carrier's tracking website, enabling you to track the status of your order.
