Purchasing Artwork

Ordering Process:

Visit my online Shop and select the artwork you wish to purchase.
Add the artwork to your cart.
Proceed to checkout and provide the required shipping information.
Complete your purchase using our secure payment gateway.
All art is unframed unless otherwise noted in my Shop.

Payment:

I accept payment through Squarespace Payments, which enables you to use your major credit card as well as a number of other payment methods.
All prices are in US Dollars.
Sales tax will be added where applicable.

Shipping:

Domestic Shipping (Within the United States)
Your artwork will be carefully packaged and shipped from my studio in Greensboro, North Carolina.
I utilize UPS, FedEx, and USPS for domestic shipments, selecting the most appropriate and cost-effective carrier based on the size and weight of your artwork. The cost of domestic shipping will be calculated and added to your order total at checkout. You will see the shipping cost before finalizing your purchase. You will receive an email notification with tracking information once your order has shipped. Please allow up to 7-10 business days for delivery after your painting has been shipped.

Important Note Regarding Drying Time: Please be aware that oil paintings require a significant amount of time to fully dry. Paintings that are "fresh off the easel" will need 3-4 weeks of drying time before they can be safely packaged and shipped. This time-frame is in addition to the estimated delivery time.

Insurance and Signature Confirmation: For your peace of mind, all original artworks will automatically include shipping insurance and signature confirmation upon delivery.

Incorrect Shipping Address: Please carefully verify your name and delivery address, including your telephone number, during checkout. If you notice an error after your purchase has been processed, please contact me immediately. While I will do my best to assist, I am not responsible for items shipped to incorrectly entered addresses.

Returns and Exchanges:

I strive to ensure your complete satisfaction with your purchase. However, due to the personalized nature of original artwork, all sales are final. To avoid any misunderstandings, please review the product description and image carefully before purchasing. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
Please note: While I cannot offer returns or exchanges on original artwork, I will work with you if your painting arrives damaged. Please contact me immediately upon receipt of the damaged item, and I will take the necessary steps to resolve the issue.

Ownership of Artwork:

Upon full payment, ownership of the artwork will transfer to you.
I, Phyllis Sharpe, retain the copyright to all artwork.
None of my site’s content may be used for commercial purposes by others.

I, Phyllis Sharpe, will not be liable for any damages arising from the purchase or use of the artwork.
