Collector Reservations
ANOTHER way to collect original artwork.
I understand that sometimes the right painting arrives before the right moment.
Collector Reservations allow you to reserve an original painting with an initial payment, while spreading the remaining balance over an agreed period. Throughout that time, your painting is held exclusively for you until it is ready to make its journey home.
How it works
Choose an eligible original painting.
Get in touch to discuss a reservation.
We'll agree a payment schedule that suits both of us.
Your painting is marked as Reserved and removed from sale.
Once the final payment has been received, your artwork is carefully packaged and shipped.
Why I offer Collector Reservations
Original paintings often become part of a home for many years.
Sometimes it simply helps to have a little more flexibility while making that decision.
Rather than rushing, Collector Reservations allow you to collect thoughtfully, knowing your chosen painting has already been set aside especially for you.
What happens while my painting is reserved?
From the moment your reservation begins:
Your painting is removed from sale.
It is carefully stored in my studio.
No one else can purchase it.
It remains exclusively reserved in your name.
How long can I reserve a painting?
Most reservations are between two and four months, although longer arrangements may occasionally be possible depending on the artwork.
If you have something specific in mind, you're always welcome to ask.
Is there a minimum deposit?
Yes.
An initial payment secures your reservation and allows me to remove the painting from my collection.
The remaining balance is then divided into manageable monthly payments.
When will my painting be shipped?
Your artwork will be shipped once payment has been received in full.
Every original is carefully wrapped, insured where appropriate and prepared with the same attention I give while creating it.
If I change my mind
Because your painting has been reserved exclusively for you and unavailable to other collectors, the initial reservation payment is non-refundable.
If unforeseen circumstances arise, please do get in touch. I'll always do my best to find a fair solution wherever possible.

A personal note
One of the loveliest parts of being an artist is knowing where a painting eventually finds its home.
Collector Reservations simply allow that journey to begin a little more gently.
