To begin the ordering process, please
contact us via email at the link below. When you write, please
include your name, address, phone and a description of what kind of
finished work you were looking for (see chart below for sizes and
prices). We will then be able to give you an approximate
timeframe in which your artwork will be completed (due to demand,
ordering for holidays is not suggested). Usually, finished works
are completed within 4 to 6 weeks of start of work.
You will be asked to furnish 3 to 5
detailed photos of your pet/pets. What is needed will depend on what
you would like in your finished work, i.e. - single head shot, full
body, both, multiple pets, etc. What Amy is striving for is to
capture your pet's favorite "look," the quirk that sets him/her apart.
That will be your job...to furnish Amy with the expressions/impressions
that YOU would like to remember!
Before the work is begun, a deposit of
half the final cost will be required (costs are calculated on size,
number of images and any extra details you might desire in your final
piece). A low-res file will be sent to you via email to confirm
completion of work, after which the balance of the final cost will be
due. Upon receiving the final payment, your new artwork and your
original photos will then be shipped directly to you via Priority Mail.
If necessary, other shipping options can also be arranged to suit your
needs.
All monetary transactions are handled
through PayPal, the internet's safest, most secure, worry-free way
to transfer funds online. You do not have to be a member to use
this service! When you are at the point where a payment is
needed, we will send you an invoice via email, through PayPal, which
will take you step-by-step through the payment process. You will
go through this process once to put down your deposit and a second time
to pay the balance using any of the major credit cards to do so.
No, sorry...we do not accept personal checks.

You can either specify your preference before work is begun or leave that
decision up to the artist. Note: Some poses or compositions will
naturally require a particular layout. The artist reserves the right
to make a final decision in this regard to achieve the most pleasing
composition possible.Note: Shipping is
an additional charge. Rates may vary. Original photos will ship
separately.
Q:
A:
May we suggest having your custom
artwork made into prints? It's a great way of sharing
memories of your best friend with all those that love them! See our
"Order Online" page for sizes, prices and more details....

Yes...larger artwork can be ordered. The above are simply the most
commonly asked for sizes because they fit standard frames. If you
would like a special size, the artist can, in most instances, accommodate
you.
Q:
A:
Do you frame the artwork?
No, we do not frame your artwork. For the most part, our clients
prefer to have their artwork framed in a manner that suits their own tastes
and decor. Occasionally, we may be asked what type of frame we would
suggest, but we prefer to leave the final creative touch to our clients.
Q:
How is the artwork shipped?
A:
All artwork, including prints, are rolled, placed in a Priority Mail tube
and sent directly to you. However, in the case of custom artwork, more
preparation is needed. Your artwork, when completed, is sprayed with a
permanent UV fixative to ensure stability, covered with an additional cover
sheet, rolled, then placed in the mailing tube and sent Priority Mail.
This has worked quite well for us. If you feel you would like to make
different arrangements for shipping, we would be happy to do so (pricing may
vary).
