BUYING ART
South Vienna, OH over my mantle.
- Buying original artwork is rewarding. And not just for me, who is selling her work! It makes your home unique and it creates an instant heirloom for your loved ones. I remember the first time we took the leap beyond posters and prints into something created by an artist or craftsman. We found it in a local gallery and the moment we saw it we knew we wanted to buy it. It was a large-scale graphite (#2 pencil!) drawing that still remains in my family. At the time it was a stretch for our young family but we never regretted it.
- Here are some commonly asked questions.
- WHO BUYS YOUR ART?
- I'm proud to say that my paintings are in homes across the country and in far-flung places across the world. I have sold work through galleries both the brick and mortar type and online. Also, many of my collectors return to buy more. It's quite gratifying.
- PRICES?
- I'm happy to send you a current price list. Generally speaking, the larger the piece the higher the price. Prices are for UNFRAMED work only. You can find my email address on the CONTACT page.

- No, it will come ready to hang but not framed. I'm happy to help you select and will install a frame for you that will complement and protect your painting or drawing for years to come.
