Common questions

Good to know.

Common questions about the work, the studio, and how to buy.

What is pour painting?

Pour painting is an acrylic technique where mixed paint is poured directly onto canvas and shaped by tilting, gravity, and movement. It produces flowing, organic patterns and cells that brushwork can't reproduce. Every piece is one-of-one — the paint never lays down the same way twice.

What is the hairdryer for?

Warm air opens cells in the paint and helps me shape how the pigments settle. It's part of how each piece finds its breath. It's also how I keep the paint moving without losing its body.

Can I commission a custom piece?

Yes. I take commissions for specific palettes, sizes, and rooms. Most commissions take two to four weeks depending on size and cure time. Reach out by phone or Instagram to start.

Can I pick up at the studio?

Yes — local pickup at the Salon Lofts studio in Akron is the easiest way. Walk in during my studio hours, or message me on Instagram to schedule.

Do you ship?

Shipping or pickup can be discussed when you inquire. Most local buyers (Akron, Cleveland, Medina, Hudson) pick up directly at the studio, which is the easiest option. International shipping is not offered at this time.

Do you offer Certificates of Authenticity?

Every original ships with a signed Certificate of Authenticity that includes the piece's title, date, materials, and a brief note about the work.

Do you work with realtors or designers?

Yes. I work with realtors and interior designers on staging listings with original work, commissioning palettes to match a room, and signed originals as client gifts. See the designers & realtors page, or call (440) 477-1972.

Where can I see the work in person?

At my studio inside Salon Lofts, 3987 Medina Rd, Studio 3, Akron, OH 44333 — and at upcoming shows including the Boston Mills Artfest, June 27–28, Booth #88, North Tent.
