I process orders by the second business day of having received the order. This allows customers to cancel their order if they change their mind.
NZ economy aims to deliver within 1-3 business days and NZ Post couriers aim to deliver the next day.
Do you offer International Shipping?
The international market has suffered significant disruptions from 2024-26 with shipping costs and uncertain tariffs. If your heart is set on a piece then please contact me for personal service on finding appropiate shipping for your country. Afterall the value of art is as great as your heart desires.

Commission and Care FAQ
Do you paint pet portraits?
No thanks, although I do recommend pastels as a truly beautiful medium for pet portraits.
Do you do portrait commissions?
Not normally... though if your heart is really set on one then please contact me to discuss what you really, really want.
How should I care for original pastel paintings?
Pastels will last for centuries. Some of Leonardo da Vinci's pastels are 500 years old. Pastels use the same pigments as those used in oil paintings.
Like any pigment based art, pastels are best hung out of direct sunlight to avoid UV damage.
I recommend framing with non-reflective art glass, as it not only protects from dust and moisture it reduces lighting reflections.
Gravity and vibrations can displace a small amount of pastel dust over time. Pastel framers have excellent techniques to catch and hide any potential pigment dust.
If you are buying locally from me then I am happy to recommend an excellent local framer who does a fantastic job.
