FAQ

About the Artwork & Artist

Is your art paintings or photographs?

Paintings! I love transforming boring, white painting panels into vibrant worlds through many layers of oil paint. 

Why did you start your fruit series?

It all started with Halloween! My fruit series did start out as a photography project but soon switched to paint. I discussed this in depth during the Method: Art Talk at gallery43, which you can read about here.

What is a cradled painting panel?

A cradled painting panel is a painting surface like a typical art canvas – but it’s made entirely out of wood. “Cradled” simply means that a wooden panel has supports around the back perimeter, giving the object physical depth and preventing it from warping when the temperature and humidity fluctuates. Since it is wood instead of a textured canvas or linen, I can sand it down to a silky smooth finish. 

In this video I’m holding Blood Orange III, oil paint on cradled painting panel, 2017. 8″ by 8″, private collection.

What is your exhibition schedule?

It varies, so sign up for my newsletter or follow me on Instagram and Facebook to learn where I’m exhibiting my artwork next. Read about my past artist talks and special projects on my Exhibitions and News page.

You can always view my paintings in person at Signet Contemporary Art in London, England, UK and The Loft in Marietta, GA. 

When you say internationally collected and exhibited, do you mean it?

Yes! My paintings have been exhibited in galleries since 2006, and In 2019 alone I showed in Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, the UK, and the eastern USA. I am humbled that my art collectors live around the world, from Los Angeles, California, to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.

Absolutely! I love working with art collectors to create a painting that is specifically designed to fit their criteria, budget, and art collection. Read more about the process on my Commission a Painting page.

My favorite painting sold. Can I purchase a glicee fine art print? Will you replicate it for me?

I offer a limited number of fine art prints in my studio shop and at The Print Shop in Atlanta, GA. 

If you missed out on your favorite artwork, I would love to create a custom painting for you that reflects the concept, colors and subject matter in a similar way while still creating an original work of art. You can read more about my commission process here.

Can I receive a Certificate of Authenticity for my Angela Faustina painting?

Absolutely. Please contact me with the name and photograph of the painting as well as proof of purchase from the gallery you purchased it. You can also include a request for one in the Order Notes section of my purchase page during checkout from my website.

Shipping Policies

How much will shipping my new painting cost?

Free Shipping is currently offered through my art studio to delivery addresses within the continental United States. Please email Angela@AngelaFaustina.com for international shipping rates and pricing information for large paintings not listed in my online shop.

All artwork is shipped via USPS First Class with USPS Tracking and Shipping Insurance. It will ship upon receipt of payment only.

Artwork is fragile. How do you prevent damage during shipping?

I carefully pack all artwork to ensure it arrives in beautiful condition.

Paintings on canvas or cradled painting panel are wrapped in an acid-free protective sleeve or acid-free tissue paper and plastic wrap. They are shipped surrounded by layers of protective bubble wrap, air pillows, and/or foam, with special attention to the corners and front of the painting. Please open your box carefully.

Artworks on paper or unstretched canvas are placed in an acid-free protective sleeve, mounted to a flat board via tape and corner protectors, and shipped in a rigged envelope or flat package. Please remove the tape holding the corner protectors to the flat board before removing the artwork to ensure the artwork remains in pristine condition.

How long will my new artwork take to get to me?

Orders are carefully packaged and shipped within 14 business days.

If I anticipate it will take longer because I am out of the studio, I place a notification banner on the top of my website and send out a public message on social media with my new expected shipping dates. I also send emails or messages directly to collectors who purchase during these times to ensure they know their artwork will be delivered on a later date.

Do you accept returns?

Returns are not accepted but I do want my art collectors to be happy with their purchase. Please contact me within 3 business days if you are unhappy with your new painting.

What if my painting arrives damaged or part of my order is missing?

I am responsible for getting your order to you quickly and carefully. If items are missing or damaged, please notify me immediately with photos so we can rectify the situation. I cannot be held responsible after 3 business days after delivery confirmation.
