FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW DOES STARVING ARTIST LLC HELP THE COMMUNITY?

​

At Starving Artist LLC, we believe art should not only feed the spirit but also serve the world around it.

​

Through fundraising events, partnerships with local nonprofits, volunteer work, and community-based creative programs, we use art as a tool for connection, empowerment, and positive change. A portion of every purchase helps support organizations and initiatives working to strengthen our communities.

​

Whether through accessible art workshops, collaborative projects, or direct community support, our goal is to transform creativity into action and make a meaningful impact beyond the canvas.

​

If you're interested in collaborating on a community-centered project, I'd love to hear from you.  Please contact me.

​​​

DO YOU TAKE COMMISSIONS?

​

Yes!

​

I offer a limited number of commissioned works each season. Whether you're looking for a meaningful portrait, a statement piece for your home, or artwork that honors a personal story, I'd love to explore your vision with you.

​

To get started, please reach out through the Contact page with a brief description of your idea, desired size, and timeline. A non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your commission slot.

​

Let's create something meaningful together.

​

​ARE YOUR PRINTS SIGNED?

​

At this time, prints are offered as high-quality, open-edition reproductions and are not individually signed or numbered.

​

As a small, independent artist-run business, a great deal of time goes into creating new artwork, professionally preparing original pieces for print reproduction, managing the website and online store, fulfilling orders, and volunteering in community-focused initiatives. Offering signed and numbered editions is a goal for the future, but it is not currently part of the standard print process.

​

If you are interested in a signed or numbered print, special requests may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Please reach out through the Contact page before placing your order, and I will do my best to accommodate your request whenever possible.

​

Whether you purchase an original work or a print, every piece supports both independent art and the community-centered mission of Starving Artist LLC.

​

​WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ORIGINAL AND A PRINT?

​

An original artwork is the one-of-a-kind piece created by hand by the artist. Original works may include layered paint, texture, mixed media elements, pencil marks, gold accents, and other details that make each piece completely unique. Once an original is sold, there will never be another exactly like it.

​

A print is a high-quality reproduction of the original artwork, created from a professionally photographed or scanned image. Prints allow collectors to enjoy the artwork at a more accessible price point while preserving the spirit and visual impact of the original piece.

​

Whether you choose an original or a print, your purchase directly supports independent art and the community-centered mission of Starving Artist LLC. Both are meaningful ways to bring art into your space and become part of the story behind the work.

​

If you're unsure which option is right for you, please feel free to reach out through the Contact page.

​

​DO YOU SHIP INTERNATIONALLY?

​

At this time, Starving Artist LLC only ships within the United States.

​

Due to the complexity of international shipping, customs fees, import duties, and fluctuating shipping costs, international shipping is not currently available. We hope to expand shipping options in the future as the business grows.

​

Thank you for your understanding and support.

​

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RECEIVE MY ORDER?

​

Prints and apparel items are typically processed and shipped within 3–5 business days.

​

Original artwork may require additional processing time depending on the size, framing requirements, and shipping arrangements. Once your order has shipped, tracking information will be provided when available.

​

If you need an item by a specific date, please reach out before placing your order and I will do my best to accommodate your timeline.

​

CAN I VIEW ARTWORK IN PERSON BEFORE PURCHASING?

​

Yes!

​

Collectors located in the Atlanta metropolitan area may arrange an in-person viewing of available original artwork by appointment.

​

Viewing artwork in person can be a wonderful way to experience the texture, scale, color, and details that may not be fully captured in photographs.

​

To schedule a viewing, please reach out through the Contact page.

​

DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?

​

In some cases, payment arrangements may be available for original artwork.

​

I believe art should be accessible and understand that collecting original artwork is a meaningful investment. If there is a piece you love but need flexibility with payment, please contact me to discuss available options.

​

Payment arrangements are considered on a case-by-case basis and must be approved prior to purchase.

​​

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY ARTWORK?

​

Avoid Direct Contact


To preserve the integrity of your artwork, avoid touching the painted surface whenever possible, especially on textured, mixed-media, or embellished pieces.

​

Keep Away from Direct Sunlight


Extended exposure to sunlight may cause colors to fade over time. Display your artwork in a location protected from direct UV exposure.

​

Maintain a Stable Environment


Artwork lasts longest in spaces with consistent temperature and humidity. Avoid placing pieces near fireplaces, heating vents, or damp environments.

​

Dust Gently


Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust as needed. Avoid cleaning products, sprays, or moisture near the artwork.

​

Frame with Care


For works on paper or unframed pieces, archival-quality framing materials and UV-protective glass are recommended for long-term preservation.

​

Store Safely


If artwork must be stored, keep it in a cool, dry location using archival materials whenever possible. Avoid stacking artwork face-to-face.

​

If you ever have questions about caring for your artwork, please don't hesitate to reach out. Your piece is more than décor—it's a story, a connection, and an investment meant to be enjoyed for years to come.
