What is your shipping and return policy?
Smaller paintings/prints are sent out using Royal Mail, larger paintings are sent with Parcelforce (48 hour express). I try to dispatch the item as soon as possible, most UK orders are delivered in 3-5 working days. Within the first 30 days of your purchase you can exchange your print/painting, it must be in the same condition that you received it in.
Do you offer international shipping?
Yes I do offer international shipping, I use FedEx and it costs £15.99, shipping usually takes 5 - 10 working days (please allow up to 14 days for delivery though).
Can I commission a custom piece of artwork?
Yes absolutely, please head to my commissions page to find out more or drop me an email at georgie@geebythesea.co.uk
What is the difference between Fine Art Prints and Canvas Prints
Fine art prints are printed on high quality gloss paper, they arrive with a mount behind glass in a white wooden frame, there’s an option for the print to be unframed, the print will just arrive in a mount with a cellophane bag for protection. The canvases are printed on cotton, the canvas can either be framed, in a white floating frame (made in house by my partner Tristan) or unframed, please note that you can still hang the canvas that is unframed, the canvas will be stretched and assembled and a hook will be attached onto the unframed canvas for hanging.
Can I request a different size for a particular artwork?
Absolutely, just pop me a message at georgie@geebythesea.co.uk
Are your original artworks signed?
All original paintings are signed and arrive with a certificate of authenticity
Can I visit your studio or see your artwork in person?
Yes! My studio is at home, people often book a time/day to visit and I’m always delighted to show people around, if you’d like to book a visit please email be at georgie@geebythesea.co.uk or WhatsApp me on 07817188113
Are you available for art exhibitions or collaborations?
Yes I’m always open to art exhibitions or collaborations, drop me a message with some more info and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
How can I stay updated on your new artwork releases and upcoming events?
Either on instagram (@Gee_By_The_Sea) or sign up to my newsletter
Do you offer art classes or workshops?
Not yet! I might be in the future, watch this space!
How do I clean my artwork?
Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster. Avoid using any cleaning solutions or water. When moving your artwork always hold it by the edges, try your best to avoid touching the surface.
Is there anywhere which my artwork shouldn’t be displayed?
Try to avoid direct sunlight, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause colours to fade - pick a spot that receives indirect light. Also think about the temperature and humidity - try to keep your artwork in a stable environment. Extreme temperature changes and high humidity can damage the material.
How to store the artwork?
If you need to store it, wrap it in a protective material and keep it in a cool, dry place.
