F-A-Q
Answers to common questions
Read 1st
1. The site is designed for immersive visual images so you can experience each work intimately. Give pages time to load as I use larger image files to allow you to see detail. In the Shop you can filter your search by basic size and also by price.
2. When in the SHOP looking at the available paintings – click on the painting and it will be full screen – you can then use the < > arrow keys to move from one image to the next to see the details and experience the work virtually.
3. There are a number of works in various sizes. To assist you in narrowing them down we added a “Wish List” List function – you will notice a small button near the work that says Wish List. Click that to save that work to your wish list so you can revisit it later. You will find that under the menu > Artworks >Available Now.
Using Your Wish List!
There are around 900 available paintings in the shop in a number of sizes. It’s not easy to view that many and possibly remember your favorites so – when you find one that you love add it to your wish list (there is a button on the paintings page) – you can review it later and narrow down your choices until you find the perfect work that resonates with!
You can review the list at anytime (even email it to yourself or a friend if looking for a gift) so your time is not wasted while you shop.
Why should I buy your art?
Simple Honest Answer – you should buy my work because it resonates with you!
Art is to be experienced and enjoyed so buy what you will enjoy, what will inspire you, what “speaks” to you! Don’t rely on a curator or interior designer to tell you what to buy – You know what you like! I have nothing against using a professional and work with both.
You are probably interested in seeing more because you saw my work on-line or someone shared my site’s link via social media. Maybe you Googled “abstract art Los Angeles“, and want to see more. That’s what my website is about – Creating a space for collectors to experience my artwork and giving collectors from all over the world the opportunity as well. This is something that a brick-and-mortar gallery can’t do.
Life is short and time is something you can’t buy – But – you can make your present as comfortable and interesting as possible. Buy art you want to live with and share space with because you will see it every day. This is not “wall decor” you are buying art from an actual artist.
This is serious… “wall decor” is not.
Certificate of Authenticity
You are considering making an investment in my work because it resonnats with you strongly. I love that so much! That’s what I strive for as an artist and to protect that investment I include with every work I sell – a signed Certificate of Authenticity
This is a signed official document. It has a photo of the work, the materials used, and dimensions. If you were to ever sell the work – this document is vital. It provides proof that the work is genuine and that I am the artist.

What is "unstretched" canvases?
An un-stretched canvas it refers to a painting that is a rolled canvas which is not mounted on “stretcher bars” – that wooden framework the canvas is wrapped around – not a frame – which is on the outside of the painting. This is a canvas that is hand cut from a large roll of canvas which allows it to be cut the ant size the artist wants for the piece.
These works are hand cut and are shipped rolled in a tube. When you simply take it to your local framer to have it mounted. Since it is loose canvas there are an infinite variety of framing methods. Simply pick the one that is best suited from the intended installation area.
Commission Info
Commissions are done when you need a special work made specifically for you. Perhaps you saw one of my works that you love but it’s not the right size for your space. You might even see a work that is sold and you want something similar just for you. All of those are reasons for a commissioned piece.
My favorite and most often done commission is for someone who loves my overall body of work and wants me to create a work for them. Usually I am given a general idea of which of my styles they enjoy and a color palette to work with and let me have at it! As you can see all of my works are unique and there are never two that are identical – that’s not my style.
How it works: You contact me and we talk so I can find out what you need. We discuss things such as the measurements and the area it will be hung in. That is very important. Once I know this information I can give you a quote for the creation of your commission. We will discuss exactly what you have in mind. Lee (my partner) and I will discuss every detail with you until you are totally comfortable with the process and are excited about experiencing it!
I do provide a contract with specifics what covers all the basics such as payment/delivery etc. I also ask for a (non-refundable) down payment of 35% of the commission price be made to start. The balance is due once the work is completed and prior to shipping. The work will then be shipped to you!
Use the contact form at the bottom of the page and you will be contacted within 24 hours.
