Shipping & Delivery Canada, USA & International Shipping
I ship original artwork across Canada, the United States, and to many international destinations.
Each painting is carefully packaged to ensure it arrives safely at its new home.
Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on the artwork’s size, weight, and destination. Tracking information is provided once your order has shipped. If your country is not available at checkout, please contact me to inquire about shipping options.
Local Pickup
Free local pickup is available in Hamilton, Ontario, by appointment only. Please contact me in advance to arrange a convenient pickup date and time.
Local Delivery
Free local delivery is available throughout the Niagara Region and Greater Toronto Area (GTA) for artwork purchases of $500 CAD or more.
Please contact me before placing your order to confirm availability and arrange delivery.
Customs & Import Duties United States:
A 50% import tariff surcharge is added to orders shipped to the USA and collected at checkout. Import duties are paid in advance by the artist when arranging shipment, so customers do not need to pay these charges separately upon delivery.
Other International Destinations:
Customs duties, import taxes, or additional fees may apply depending on the destination country’s regulations. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility unless otherwise stated at checkout.

All Sales Are Final
Each original painting is a one-of-a-kind, handmade work of art, created with care and attention to detail.
Returns, exchanges, or refunds are not accepted for change of mind, personal preference, or if the artwork does not suit your space, except where required by applicable law.
Please carefully review the artwork’s photographs, description, dimensions, materials, and other details before purchasing. If you have any questions, I am always happy to help before you place your order.
Damaged Artwork
Every painting is carefully inspected and securely packaged before shipping. If your artwork arrives damaged, please contact me as soon as possible, preferably within 48 hours of delivery.
Please provide:
Your order number.
Clear photographs of the damage. Photographs of the shipping box and packaging.
A brief description of the issue.
Please keep all original packaging until the issue has been resolved, as it may be required for a shipping insurance claim.
Each case will be reviewed individually, and I will work with you to find an appropriate solution, including a refund or other remedy where applicable.
Lost or Missing Packages
All shipped orders include tracking information whenever tracking is available. If your package is delayed or appears to be lost, please contact me. I will help investigate the issue with the shipping carrier. If the package is confirmed lost in transit, I will arrange an appropriate resolution, including a refund when required. If tracking shows that a package was delivered but you have not received it, please contact me promptly so we can investigate with the carrier. Proof of delivery and the results of the investigation will be considered when resolving the issue, subject to applicable consumer protection laws.

If you receive the wrong painting or an artwork that is materially different from its description, please contact me with your order number and photographs. I will review the issue and arrange an appropriate resolution in accordance with applicable consumer protection laws.
Handmade Artwork & Colour
Variations Please note that original paintings may have natural textures, visible brushstrokes, and subtle variations that are part of their handmade character. Colours may also appear slightly different depending on your screen settings and lighting conditions. Minor differences of this nature are not considered defects, provided the artwork matches its description.

Original Artwork
Each original painting is a unique, one-of-a-kind piece of art, created by hand using professional-quality oil or acrylic paints.
Every painting is signed by the artist.
Artwork dimensions, materials, canvas depth, and framing details are provided in each individual product listing.
Framing & Display
Many of my paintings are created on stretched canvas with painted edges and are ready to hang without additional framing.
Please check the individual artwork description for specific hanging and framing details.
Artwork Care
To keep your painting beautiful for years to come: Display it away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, and high humidity. Avoid placing artwork near fireplaces, radiators, or heating vents. Gently remove dust using a clean, soft, dry brush. Do not use water, cleaning sprays, or chemical products on the painted surface. * Avoid touching the painted surface, especially on textured oil paintings.
Oil Paintings
Oil paintings require time to dry and fully cure. Newly completed artworks should be handled with extra care, and pressure should never be applied to the painted surface.
A Note About Handmade Art
Subtle variations in texture, brushstrokes, and surface details are part of the beauty and individuality of original artwork. With proper care, your painting can bring warmth, colour, and joy to your home for many years.
