Frequently Asked Questions
Packaging and Gift Wrapping
I’m passionately committed to protecting our planet, which is why you won’t find any new plastic in my packaging. I take great care to ensure your artwork arrives safely and sustainably:
​
-
Glass Protection: If your order includes glass, I carefully protect it using biodegradable bubble wrap.
-
Prints: All prints are wrapped in recycled tissue paper and/or compostable cellulose bags—these are plant-based and designed to break down naturally.
-
Outer Packaging: Your treasures will arrive in either a recyclable hard-backed mailing envelope or a small brown box. I encourage you to reuse or recycle these at home!
-
The Little Details: Even my thank you notes are written on recycled card or handmade paper to keep waste to an absolute minimum.
A note on gifting: While I don’t currently offer a dedicated gift-wrapping service, every print is beautifully wrapped in recycled tissue paper, making it a delight to open (or perfect to gift directly if left unopened).
Shipping Policy
United Kingdom Delivery
I want to get your beautiful new artwork to you as efficiently as possible. To ensure fair pricing, postage is calculated separately at checkout, and I always aim to keep these costs as low as possible for you.
​
-
Carrier: All prints are sent via Royal Mail Tracked 48. Need it sooner? You can upgrade to Royal Mail Tracked 24 for a small additional charge.
-
Turnaround Time: As a small studio, it typically takes me 3–7 days to fulfil an order before it is shipped. Shipping times will vary depending on the postage option you select.
Please note: While I do everything within my power to adhere to delivery times, I cannot be held responsible for shipping delays beyond my control.
​
International Shipping
At this moment, I am not shipping to countries within the European Union.
Return and Refund Policy
I want you to be completely happy with your new piece of art. If for any reason you aren't, I offer a 14-day return policy. This means you have 14 days after receiving your item to request a return.

How to Return
To be eligible, your item must be in the same condition you received it and in its original packaging. You will also need your receipt or proof of purchase.

Please inspect your order as soon as it arrives. Contact me immediately if the item is defective, damaged, or if you receive the wrong item, so I can evaluate the issue and make it right.
​
Exceptions
Unfortunately, I cannot accept returns on sale items or gift cards. Additionally, I do not provide refunds for delays in delivery or for buyer’s remorse.
