Frequently Asked Questions

General

I want you to be totally happy with your purchase, and for your shopping journey from start to finish to be a pleasant and smooth experience! Merchandise products offered are extremely high quality and are carefully selected in an effort to guarantee their reliability.

What is the Love Works Resource Center? It’s a nonprofit located in King of Prussia, PA that serves local communities in tangible ways: one person & one family at a time. It has a widespread and growing reach to help the under-served throughout Montgomery County. They have an on-site food pantry & community garden, a free clothing room, free furniture program, an art therapy program, and more!

Why Love Works? I love and support the mission of this organization, and feel it ties in perfectly with that of my own business. I donate 20% of profit from my art & merchandise shops to Love Works because it is important to me to give back to my community and I know they will use the money wisely and well.

I love to receive feedback and reviews! Whether it's through Thumbtack, Google, Facebook, or directly contacting me after your custom work is complete or you've received your order - I truly value your feedback! If you have anything you’d like to share about your experience working with me or shopping using this site…whatever it may be, I’d love to hear from you!

CUSTOM & ART SPECIFIC

I work with all budgets & sized spaces, paint both interior & exterior murals, and do residential & commercial work. I also create custom canvases and paint furniture & other items as requested. I do not currently offer services for portrait or memorial work. I am booked an average of 6 weeks in advance, and my business is both licensed and insured.

To get started, clients generally contact me and we'll discuss ideas, expectations, and details. We'll coordinate timing and pricing of the project, discuss mock-up designs if applicable, and I'll email a contract. For all projects, a $200 non-refundable deposit is required to secure a spot on my calendar, which is applied toward the project total.

Custom projects vary by nature, but standard pricing for murals starts at $20/sq. foot and increases depending on factors such as detail requested, surface texture, prep needed, etc. I have a $500 minimum for custom projects.

Yes! Frames can add a nice finishing touch to most pieces of art! Please get in touch if you'd like to discuss framing!

Most paintings on the website are created on professional grade, hangable canvases that do not require frames, but floating frames are always an option to add. Canvases without sides/depth can be framed as well, and I would be happy to give recommendations that would provide the best finished product if you are interested in adding a frame!

Yes! Prints of most paintings can be ordered from the website or through inquiries in a standard 8.5" x 11" size for $12 each. Prints typically include a white border. Other sizes are available as a custom order - there are so many options we can play with and I want to make sure we select the best one specifically for you! Prints make a wonderful, affordable, and very customizable option! We can do prints in several sizes of full or partial paintings, the hope/love logo, or images like those featured on my Instagram that include some "artspiration"! Have a favorite you'd love to turn into the perfect sized print for your space? Reach out and I can create some mock-up samples and go over some framing options too! This is where things can get really fun! :)
