FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


How do i decide which ART PRINT TYPE to order?

Great question! Here's a little mini guide on mediums below to help you. If you have further questions, please Contact Me and I can discuss it with you. 


MEDIA TYPES:

FINE ART WATERCOLOR PAPER - This is a lovely choice and offers a nice, musem quality fine art paper. This Epson Cold Press bright white 19mil, 100% Cotton based paper is sturdy, preserves vibrant colors, and has a little bumpiness to it. You'll need to order a mat or frame for the print, with or without a mat. 

METAL -This is Bay Photo Lab's most popular material as it has a sleek and modern look, is glossy, and comes with a hanging device on the back already built in so the artwork is ready to hang right out of the box.

WOOD -This is a great choice if you are looking for a textured, warm, down-to Earth surface. Maple Wood Prints are printed directly onto 1/2" thick maple surfaced wood board, for a warm and natural-looking print that is also eco-friendly. The grain and other natural characteristics of the wood shows through the light and white areas of the image for a natural warm tone and vintage feel.

CANVAS - Canvas  gives a beautiful painterly finish. What's nice about the canvas print is that it is finished as-is so you don't need a mat or frame. Canvas is lightweight, easy to hang, and durable. 

ACRYLIC - Acrylic is by far the most durable medium and offers a solid, non-glare finish and comes with mount attachments.

FUJI PHOTO PAPER -This option is available only in the Gift Shop. This is a great inexpensive option for mini prints.


SIZES

Please check out the WALL PREVIEW Button to view the artwork in various places - a living room, bedroom, office, etc. You can choose the color of the wall paint, and scroll down to choose the size of the artwork you're considering and how it looks in a room. There's also a LIVE PREVIEW AR Button that allows you to use augmented reality to superimpose the artwork you are consdiering on your own wall to see how it will look. Want to see how it works? I can show you in this video tour of the site.


WHAT IS YOUR SHIPPING POLICY? 

FOR PRINTS
Prints are handled through Bay Photo Lab in the USA. They choose the most cost-effective shipping carrier based on the items ordered and their destination. Shipping times range from 1-7 business days. You will receive a tracking number as soon as your order has been shipped.

*If you live in Malawi, please contact Kristen directly to learn how to get original artwork delivered to your door as well as art prints and merchandise items that are printed locally, so we can support Malawian businesses together as well as save you from international shipping charges.

The fulfillment vendors I work with in the USA (Bay Photo Lab for art prints and Gooten for merchandise) are not responsible for duties and taxes required for international shipping.

Shipping Quotes are available for large orders or orders shipping to international destinations. Please contact me with the details of what will be in the order and the address it will be shipped to.

FOR ORIGINALS & LIMITED EDITIONS

Please remember I live in Malawi, Southern Africa so unless you are also in Malawi or a neighboring country, shipping original artwork from Africa may be a little less straightforward than you are used to. (If you are in Malawi though... Hey! Stop in for a chat and a coffee!)

All original art orders come with FREE international shipping.
After I receive your order, I will then get a price quote from Fed Ex and/or DHL in Lilongwe, Malawi and set up the delivery. Shipping times range from 3-9+ business days. Tracking information will be emailed to you as soon as available. Please note that once you have ordered and I have scheduled and paid for your shipping, no cancellations or returns are possible.

*If you live in Malawi you do get a small local discount on original artwork as no international shipping is involved.

Verified Archival Materials Used

The Art Storefronts Organization has verified that this Art Seller has published information about the archival materials used to create their products in an effort to provide transparency to buyers.

Description from Merchant:

All drawings are created on acid-free archival heavyweight paper. I use Tombow dual tip watercolor pens which are set in place with fixative. Paintings are made on triple primed canvas panels and the acrylic paints are then fixed with varnish. For best possible protection against fading over time, original artwork should be kept out of direct light. Drawings should be protected by a sheet of UV filtered glass.
