FAQs
How big are your artworks?
I have pieces from as small as 4” x 4” to as big as 48” x 30” and 54” x 25” — I love working at a variety of sizes.
Height and width dimensions are listed on the descriptions for all pieces.
If you’re especially interested in the smaller works, you’d love my Tiny Treasures collection!
Do your pieces come framed?
I make sure to include whether a piece arrives framed or unframed in all artwork descriptions, under the “Digging into the details” section. Here are some examples of what you’ll see in terms of framing:
For some pieces, the frame is incorporated into the work itself.
For others, the work comes unframed.
And others, you can choose whether the work comes framed.
I use a variety of different frames, which I choose to suit each individual artwork. For framed artworks, if you’d like to more information about the frame (sizing, materials, color, etc.), just reach out and I’d be happy to give more details!
If you decide to order an artwork that comes unframed, I can also provide recommendations for size, color, material, matting, etc.
How does shipping work (for U.S. orders)?
Shipping is free for orders in the U.S.
After you place your order, you’ll receive an order confirmation. Once the artwork ships, I’ll send you a tracking number so you’ll know when it’s time to enjoy your new piece!
Orders typically arrive within two weeks. Please contact me if you need the piece by a certain date so we can potentially arrange for expedited shipping.
How does international shipping work?
For orders to be shipped outside of the United States: Before placing your order, you’ll need to request a quote for international shipping using my contact form.
Once we’ve agreed on the shipping cost, you’ll be invoiced for the price of the artwork plus shipping.
Do you include your signature on your artworks?
I sign some of my original artworks on the front but for most, I sign the back of the artwork. Regardless, I sign all originals.
Do you offer prints of your artwork?
Yes, you can find those here!
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, on selected pieces. Just select the Afterpay option at checkout.
What’s Chicken Doodle Soup?
Chicken Doodle Soup is the name of my blog and newsletter where I share reflections on making art, healing, spirituality, philosophy, and everyday life.
You’re a multidisciplinary artist. What do you mean by that?
I make visual art. I make music (I use the name Alice Celeste for my singer-songwriter alter ego). And I write! These are the three main ways I create art. I also love to dance!
In the past, I’ve been afraid to really own this variety about what I do. I worried: What if people don’t take me seriously because they think I haven’t narrowed myself enough? What if people don’t get the connection and misunderstand why I work across different art forms?
I used to keep my work pretty siloed and I felt shy about sharing the connections between my art, music, writing, and teaching too.
The truth is there’s no wall between mediums. This is just me being me and I bring who I am to what I do, no matter what I do. It’s all creation, expression, connection.
My approach to interviewing people connects to my approach to teaching which connects to the way I approach art-making and songwriting. It’s curiosity. It’s asking questions. It’s patience. It’s my stance of openness and compassion. It’s exploration and perpetually complicating and simplifying, back and forth, loopdity loop, linking ideas, constantly learning and gathering observations, connecting new dots to old ones, finding synthesis.
I believe that when we genuinely put ourselves out there without trying to control how people perceive us, that’s how we find the people who’ll get it — the people who’ll love us for who we are and not despite who we are, who’ll appreciate our honesty instead of our silence, who’ll enjoy our quirks instead of the way we hide them.
You can read more about the interdisciplinary nature of my work in my Chicken Doodle Soup post, “Embracing My Interdisciplinary Intricacies.”
