THANK YOU
“Creating the art I make today has taken 2 degrees, endless sacrifices, a large HECS debt and nearly 36 years of practice. Practice to nurture the artistic skill, years of self exploration to clarify my personal tastes, and years of hard won inner-work to gain clarity on my purpose which I imbue into my work. It has taken decades of exploration, testing, detours and failures to experience the triumphs.
As I value longevity and quality, I take care to use the best processes and archival quality materials accessible to me, even when taking shortcuts could improve profit margins or cheapen the price to improve turnover. With proper care, my original paintings and archival prints can last a lifetime and beyond. Merchandise such as the postcards and Tshirts etc are intended to be worn, written-on or otherwise physically enjoyed and will last proportionally to natural wear and tear.
I am still, at the time of this writing, a one woman show. The artwork creation, marketing, administration, emails, packaging etc is all handled by me. Everything from pricing, packaging, product delivery times, to the above Terms & Conditions, has been carefully considered to make creating quality artworks viable.
The Terms and Conditions outlined above help to protect the one of a kind artworks that often take weeks to months to complete, and help to make pursuing ambitious projects possible. Without these considerations, my paintings and the future creations I have yet to dream up and make, would not exist.
Thank you for respecting and appreciating my efforts and for your patience and flexibility in supporting my art. I thank, and appreciate you.” - Cynthia Howard, 2023.
