Frequently Asked Questions
Why dud you become an artist?
I began painting at 83, driven by a fierce love for life and a desire to inspire. I paint not just what I see, but what I feel—the rhythm, breath, and spark of growth—hoping each piece sparks joy and reminds us all of our boundless potential.
How long does it take to make a painting?
Each painting has its own life, shaped by brush, paint, emotions, motivation, and intuition. Sometimes I revise a piece 20 times until it speaks; other times, it flows effortlessly, as if the painting creates itself. It’s complete only when my heart says yes. The time varies because each work is a unique, intuitive journey.
Do you paint with oil? What is your medium?
I’m a digital painter transitioning from amateur photography, working on a large digital canvas that mimics traditional painting without the mess. Using ultra-realistic software, I simulate oil, acrylic, and watercolor with various brushes and palette knives. Final high-res images are printed on textured paper, canvas, wood, or metal, with textured prints often resembling authentic oil paintings.
Can I buy one of your paintings in custom sizes?
LYes, you can purchase my paintings in custom sizes. Using modern technology, I can produce prints in virtually any size, allowing me to provide art that fits your specific space and budget.
How soon will I get my art? What are shipping costs?
Your art will arrive within 5 to 8 working days. Production is rapid, and shipping is fast and free for standard sizes up to 36". For larger sizes, special packing and handling are required, which will incur an additional shipping cost.
What is the quality and how long do prints last?
I am thrilled to deliver the highest quality archival materials designed to last a lifetime, all at affordable prices.
