the premise of everything i do is inspired by the natural world and so sustainability is at the heart of everything i do. i tend to steer clear of acrylics until i find a more environmentally friendly version. i try to be as eco-friendly as i can, choosing brands that have a rigid commitment to sustainability.

• oil paints
  daler-rowney georgian oil paints are over all durable, long-lasting, and offer good lightfastness; however, some pigments inevitably contain heavy metals. i am committed to gradually making the switch to eco-friendlier brands such as michael harding oil paints.

• paint thinner, brush cleaner, medium
  non-flammable and biodegradable zest it safe oil paint dilutant and brush cleaner and as medium i use refined linseed oil.

• watercolours
  winsor and newton cotman watercolours; generally eco friendly making use of non-toxic pigments, natural binders, and water as a solvent.

• pastels
  sennelier soft pastels and oil pastels which are made using traditional, handcrafted methods. for charcoal sketches, i prefer the use of coarse black panpastel to powdered charcoal.

• pencils and crayons
  personalised mix of faber-castell polychromos, faber-castell watercolour, and derwent lightfast coloured pencils, winsor and newton charcoal pencils, derwent charcoal pencils and carran-d’ache water-soluble crayons. their commitment to sustainability is linked as follows: faber-castell, winsor and newton, derwent, carran-d’ache, daler-rowney.

• ink and pens
  sakura pigment liner and winsor and newton water-thinnable ink.

• paper and sketchbooks
  most of my professional work and prints are made using strathmore and hahnemühle FSC certified paper and sketchbooks (their respective commitment to sustainability is linked). i am committed to fully transitioning to these brands solely, as i complete my old stock of paper.

• shipping and packaging
  i try my best to use plastic alternatives where possible. where plastic is necessary, i use acid-free recyclable plastics sleeves as i slowly transition to biodegradable glassine sleeves and biodegradable cellophane sleeves.

to ensure the quality and integrity of my work, returns are unfortunately not possible after they're shipped unless they have noticeable defects upon receipt. however, under special circumstances where you wish to cancel an order after having placed it, please contact me as soon as possible; if the items have not yet been shipped, refunds may be possible.

since i print on demand, i aim to dispatch orders within 1 to 2 weeks of placement. this timeline may vary depending on special requests for framing and mounting, as well as the time needed for printing, quality checks, and shipping.

the customer is responsible for the cost of custom and import taxes. unfortunately, i am unable to take into account additional fees that may incur after shipping.

if you have a vision you'd love to bring to life and you think i'd be able to capture its essence, please get in touch with me and we can have a chat. however, i would advise to book commissions at least 2 months in advance so i can ensure quality and integrity. if you're short on time and would still like to commission me, feel free to reach out; depending on my time commitments, i'll see what i can do.
