FAQs

I love to paint and create  as many paintings as possible.  Mostly, I release them in collections on my website (though some are released as I make them because I can't wait to share them with you).  The collections will be well advertised before hand via social media and mailing list.  However, Originals and prints will be available here.

Currently, prints are created by me with archival ink on art paper and almost have the look and feel of a beautiful original painting. They are printed flat and cut by hand.  There is a small border left around the print to aid in framing.  

All prints are printed to order and take the usual 1 - 3 days to process. 

A comprehensive framing guide will be coming shortly to help you make your artwork and prints look their best to grace your beautiful home. 

DON’T FORGET THE MAT.  Seriously.  Matting your print will make it look SO much more legit and elegant.  

 The sizes listed are the largest sizes I am able to create.  

If you are interested in filling a  large area of your wall with my artwork (which is awesome - thank you!!) I recommend putting together a collection of 3-4 pieces.   Or you can email me to see if my local printer can do the larger size you are looking for.  (This will take a few days due to waiting for their response.) Email christina@cvdesignsfl.com to discuss that! 

Originals

• Paintings are painted on cold pressed 140lb watercolor paper.  All paintings are carefully packaged and beautifully wrapped in paper or a plastic sleeve and supported by a chipboard backing to prevent bending if 11x14 and smaller.  While paintings 16x20 and larger are mailed in a thick tube.
• Most artwork will ship via USPS or UPS, and most packages arrive within 2-4 days (domestic) from time of shipping (includes tracking & insurance). International shipments will be sent via USPS or other carrier. International buyers, please note that shipping charges may vary from the amount you pay at checkout. Please email me with questions or to get an estimate.

Prints

• All prints are handled with the utmost care, packaged beautifully in paper or plastic sleeve.
• Prints 11x14 and smaller are mailed in a sturdy flat mailer while prints 16x20 and larger are mailed in a thick tube.
• Shipped via USPS 1st Class Mail or Priority Mail (usually arrives within 1-3 days within the US).

International Shipments

• I currently do not have shipping information for international shipping.  However, please contact me at christina@cvdesignsfl.com and I will be happy to work with you and get your shipping charges sorted out .
• International packages are a bit outside of my control. Border fees, duties, and handling fees may be charged by other countries. Tracking is also quite unreliable with international shipments. 

 Every order, commission, and sale is handled with care and as much clarity and transparency as possible.  My goal is for you to be completely thrilled with your purchase!  Please read about our return policy on the shipping and returns page for more information on the process. 

 I am honored you would like my artwork on your walls and in your shop!  Gallery owners, please send me an email at sales@cvdesignsfl.com to discuss your gallery and ideas. 

 I love working with designers because I love it when my artwork lives in a fine looking room!  I offer designers a discount on prints.  Please email sales@cvdesignsfl.com so we can set up a specific coupon code for you to use frequently.  I do not offer discounts on original paintings nor do I allow my work to be marked up without consent. 

 I love working with bloggers, editors, stylists, and writers!  There are many images on my site that you are free to use for your article.  Please credit both me & my photographers.  If you have any questions, please email me! sales@cvdesignsfl.com  I am always open to interviews and love sharing my story with the world! 

I retain all rights to all artwork I create.  This includes the rights to the image of sold & commissioned original paintings.  I retain the right to make reproductions of any and all artwork I create unless the Collector has purchased the full or partial rights to the artwork (this is in addition to purchasing the original).  

The Collector or buyer may not reproduce the artwork in any way without written permission.  

If the artwork ends up being reproduced in a magazine or other media I only ask for credit (and congratulations! that means your home is absolutely stunning!).

When you purchase an original painting you, the collector, have the right to display the artwork in your home or business (hooray!) but the artwork may not be resold or reproduced without my written permission.

Please let me know if you are interested in purchasing full or partial rights to your painting.  Some collectors choose to purchase my right to reproduce the artwork to ensure it will never become a print.  I am totally happy to discuss that with you if you would like!
