ORIGINALS
Q. When will original paintings be available?
A. Occassionally, I will create a piece of art for myself, for the pleasure of the experience. Sometimes, if I can force myself to part with the piece, I will offer it for sale. These are far and few between as I am usually so spiritually attached to my pieces that it is very difficult for me to part with it.

LIMITED EDITION PRINTS
Q. What are Limited Edition Prints?
A. Limited edition prints are high quality copies of an original piece of artwork that have been printed in a limited quantity, such as 50, 100 or 500. These prints are hand signed and numbered by the artist and come with a Certificate Of Authenticity (COA). Due to the limited printing run and hand signing, limited edition prints are considered more collectible and valuable than a standard artwork print.

OPEN ENDED PRINTS
Q. What is an Open Ended Print? What is the difference between a Limited Edition and an Open Ended Print?
A. An open ended print is a high quality copy of an original piece of artwork printed in mass quantity. Since open ended prints are not printed in a limited quantity and are not hand signed by the artist, they are not considered as collectable as limited edition prints. All my artwork, including open ended prints, come with a Certificate Of Authenticity (COA) to show that it was legally purchased directly from the artist.
