Shipping & Buying Guide
I’m Interested. Now What?
Buying original art should be an exciting milestone, not a guessing game. Here
is exactly how a piece goes from my Wentzell Lake studio to your walls, with
zero hidden fees or surprises.
Claim Your Piece: See a character that speaks to you? Click Contact Me to claim it! Let me know which
portrait you're eyeing and your shipping address. I will find a shipping price (at cost) that works for you, calculate the total cost and if that works for everyone? I email you an invoice to finalize the purchase. I currently take Paypal in the US and Paypal or E-transfer in Canada. International? It's best we chat to discuss what makes the most sense.

- Delivery & Unboxing: Your art arrives safely at your doorstep. Open it up, meet your new character, and get ready to hang it!
Frequently Asked Questions
Shipping & Logistics
How much does shipping cost?
Originals on Paper: Free worldwide shipping. The price you see is the final
price you pay, no matter where you live.
Cradleboards: Shipping is calculated manually based on
your specific location and the package's dimensions, per our discussions. I try to keep the cost as a low as possible. If you require signature or special handling that would be extra.
How are the artworks packaged?
Works on Paper: Shipped flat in a heavy, rigid, double-walled cardboard mailer
or securely rolled inside a heavy-duty postal tube. They arrive unframed,
allowing you the freedom to choose a frame that perfectly matches your home
decor.
Cradleboards: Wrapped securely in protective layers, cushioned with corner
guards, and shipped in a sturdy, heavy-duty cardboard box.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. I ship from my studio in Nova Scotia, Canada, to collectors worldwide.
Please note that international buyers are responsible for any local customs
duties or import taxes that may apply upon arrival.
Art & Studio Details
What is a "Cradleboard"?
It is a premium, professional artists' surface featuring a smooth wooden panel
mounted onto a rigid wooden support frame (the "cradle"). This means the
painting is solid, structurally sound, stable, and completely ready to hang on
your wall right out of the box—no framing required.
Are these prints or originals?
Every portrait I sell is a one-of-a-kind original fine art piece. They are layered, painterly (maybe mixed-media) works created daily with high-viscosity
acrylics and professional mediums. There are no duplicates.
