Orders can be emailed or phoned in that you might want to purchase at an upcoming show. They will be held until picked up if they are prepaid. Unpaid orders will be held only until the end of the first day.
We do not have a bricks and mortar building. When we are not doing shows the inventory is kept in a climate controlled storage. If you are in the triangle area we can arrange to show you some of the framed pieces but the best selection is displayed at the shows.
We accept checks as payment if you do not want to use a card. The mailing address is on the contact page.
Shipping
Unframed giclees are shipped in a sturdy tube and several can be shipped in one tube. Cards, mini matted pieces and framed artwork are shipped in a box. You should receive your unframed pieces within 2-7 business days. Mountain and Pacific locations might take up to 10 days.
We charge a nominal shipping and handling fee and your shipment will go ground, by Fed-Ex ( larger items) and US Post (smaller items)
Call or email for expedited and air shipments.
International
We can ship unframed artwork to other countries with a minimum order of 75USD. We ship in a sturdy tube by US Post which is a little slower than some commercial carriers but the cost is far less. Other carriers do a better job of expediting shipments through customs but there is rarely an issue with artwork. Our past experience is that shipping by other carriers adds about 100 USD. We ship to North America, Europe, Japan and Australasia. Contact us if you have questions about shipping to your destination. Shipments usually take 2-3 weeks depending on destination.
We do not ship framed pieces to other countries
Choosing a size
The measurement we use are IMAGE size. The paper size will be larger so there will be plain paper around the image. On giclees the paper size will vary a little, but this is of no consequence.
We use triple mats on framed pieces. Outer dimensions are approximately as follows:
- small image 12" x 16" framed 22" x 26"
- medium image 15" x 20" framed 27" x 32"
- large image 21" x 28' framed 35' x 42"
The space needs to be larger than that to hang it.
If you have trouble visualizing the size cut the same size from paper and tape it to the wall. Use removable painters tape. This also works well to arrange collections.
