  • Each order is custom made especially for you and I do my very best to see that your items are shipped out as quickly as possible (1-2 business day). I ship all orders via USPS so please allow for adequate shipping time. Once the package leaves my hands, I have no control over the speed in which it arrives to you.

 

Do you offer returns and/or refunds?

  • If there is an issue with your order, please reach out to me directly - my ultimate goal is for you to be delighted with your order & experience.
  • I offer returns/refunds if a customer is unhappy with their order. Here are some examples where a return/refund might be desired:
    • Your item has arrived damaged during shipping.
    • The postal system has lost your package and/or it has not arrived after 4 weeks of being in transit.
    • You're unhappy with your item and seek a refund.
  • If a customer seeks a refund, they would need to ship the item back to me, & once received, I will issue a full refund. Cost of return shipping is at the buyer's expense.
  • If a package is returned to me as undeliverable, or has been lost by USPS, I am more than happy to re-send the order, or offer a full refund if the customer prefers. 

 

Are your products & packaging sustainable/eco-friendly?

  • Yes! All of my art prints & greeting cards are made with 100% cotton papers (tree-free), except for those utilizing metallic foil detailing.
  • It's really important to me that my business be as eco-friendly as possible, and part of that process is letting you know what to do with the shipping materials you receive with your orders. Below is a list of the shipping materials I use for various order types:
  • *All My Shipping Materials are Plastic-Free and Curbside Recyclable*
    • Rigid Mailers (made from 100% recycled material)
    • Tissue Paper
    • Glassine Paper Bags
    • Uncoated Paper Sticker
    • Paper Washi Tape
    • Uncoated Paper Shipping Label
    • Kraft Paper Tape w/plant-based adhesive
    • Paper Envelope
    • Cardboard Box
  • All of the appropriate recycling information will be included on a note in your order for easy reference. 

 

Do you offer customization? 

  • Yes! Just reach out to me with info about which item you’re interested in customizing and I’ll respond ASAP.
  • *However, I am not currently open for commissions of brand new artwork.

 

How do you make your original artwork? 

  • I work mainly in traditional mediums such as ink, gouache, watercolor, colored pencil, acrylic, and graphite, but I also love creating digital art too. I used to work in oil paint years ago, but I’m happier using mostly water-based materials these days because oils require a lot more setup/precautions to make sure your health is not affected with long term use.

 

Do you have any formal training in art?

  • Yes! I attended Laguna College of Art & Design and graduated with a Bachelors degree in Illustration and Fine Art in 2010.
