Pricing
Current Base Price: $160 CAD + shipping
this is the starting price for canvases sized 10 x 10 and smaller, increasing with larger canvas sizes
Artwork is very personal and something which I can't price based on canvas size or general subject matter alone. I value my projects individually, taking time to understand what each client is looking for and ensuring the price fairly reflects my devotion of time and labour to creating their custom piece.

I want to ensure your entire ordering process is a positive and memorable experience from start to finish - it should be a special and stress-free journey to have a custom piece of art made just for you!
