custom photographic artwork for every occasion

FAQ

Heartwork pieces from the Milestone Collection that make use of existing designs start at $750. Commissioned artworks start at $1500. Corporate Heartworks and wall murals are priced on a case-by-case basis. Please contact me for an estimate of your particular artwork.

Heartworks take some time to create. From the moment I receive your images to the final artwork expect 2-4 weeks depending on design complexity, your availability to meet, and my current workload. Additional time is needed for printing and shipping. Please contact me to get an up-to-date estimate.

Nowadays most photos are captured on smart phones that limit the size and resolution of the image. Heartworks have been designed with this in mind, making use of small images to convey big feelings. Upload your photos in the largest format possible and I’ll figure out how large they can be printed without losing clarity. I’ll warn you in advance if images may possibly print out blurry.

While I would love to scan your images I would prefer to keep them safe and sound in your own home. Mailing original photographs back and forth is not a risk either one of us wants to take. I recommend taking photos out of their frames, using your phone at the highest setting to snap a pic, and uploading images to my server digitally. Make sure to take pics in a place with even lighting and no glare!

Not every picture turns out perfect. That’s why I include two hours of photo retouching with every artwork. Photo retouching can include red eye reduction, scratch buffing, and color correction. More extensive photo retouching can be provided for an additional fee of $75/hr.

There are two ways to receive your Heartwork:  

#1  Digital file.  This gives you full control to outsource your printing and framing to your desired online vendor. I am happy to make referrals.

#2  Printed artwork.  I willl handle the printing and ship your Heartwork to you via mailing tube. You can then work with your local framer to find the best framing option to accommodate your tastes.

Your artwork will stay most vibrant if protected behind acrylic and hung out of direct sunlight. Inks will naturally fade over time.

I am a dedicated and creative problem solver. Contact me to explore creating your own unique artwork! Turnaround times and fees for custom artworks will vary.

Yes they are! The entire Heartwork Design Studio collection is copyright protected. While certain ideas, such as the periodic table live in the public domain, my use of imagery to fill these ‘containers’ to display photos is of my own making and is entirely unique.
