A short letter about what is on the easel, which series is drying, and when the next commission window opens. Useful if you are weighing a canvas against a print, or waiting on a specific view of the Karoo or the coastline.
Leave an email and I will send the studio letter. No forwarding, no third parties, and you can step out at any time with one reply.

Questions about a specific canvas, a print edition, or a commission slot usually get answered the same day. If you are unsure which series suits a room, describe the wall and the light and we can point you to two or three works worth a closer look.
Visitors are welcome, but a call ahead helps — the studio doubles as the packing bench, and large canvases are often laid out across the floor.
Most of what collectors ask concerns shipping, editions and how a commission actually runs. If your situation is not covered here, the studio answers email directly and usually within two working days.
Still unsure which series fits your space? Reach the studio through Contact and describe the room, the light and the wall.
A few terms in this catalogue get read in more than one way. Here is how the studio actually applies them, so nothing about a painting, a print or a commission is left open to interpretation.
An original is the single painted surface made in the studio, signed on the reverse with its title and year. A giclée print is a reproduction of that painting, produced in a numbered run and signed in pencil below the image. Buying a print does not transfer any rights to the original work.
The number listed for each print is the total run for that image, not the quantity currently in stock. Once a run closes it is not reprinted at a different size. Small collectible studies are one-offs and carry no edition number at all.
Canvas originals can leave the studio either stretched on a frame or rolled in a tube. Stretched work arrives ready to hang but ships in a crate; rolled work is lighter and cheaper to send but needs a framer to re-stretch it. The choice is made at checkout, not after dispatch.
Measurements are given in centimetres, height before width, and describe the painted surface only — not the frame or the border of a print. Screens vary, so a deep teal on your monitor may sit closer to green in daylight. If an exact match matters, ask for a photograph of the piece in natural light before you commit.
Commission slots open twice a year and are limited by studio time, not by demand. A commission is a new painting based on a view or palette you describe; it is not a copy of an existing work in the catalogue. Sketches are shared for approval before the final canvas is started.
A painting, a print and a pack of greeting cards can sit in the same cart, but they do not always ship together. Prints and cards are packed flat; canvases travel separately. Where an order splits, you will see it noted before payment rather than discovering it at the door.
