These are a few of the most common questions I get asked.  If you have additional questions feel free to contact me. 

​

HOW DO I BUY AN ORIGINAL?  

I create many, many paintings each year either painting on stage or in studio and arrangements for purchasing paintings are available through this website. These paintings tend to go pretty quickly, so be sure to be prompt!
 

Originals will be available here. 

 

CAN I COMMISSION A PAINTING?

Please use the contact form on this page to contact Michelle Weldy Art, the schedule for commission time is extremely limited.

 

Commissions take 3-12 weeks to complete, however, keep in mind that the schedule has limited space for the year.  Please reply to correspondence in a timely manner to be sure that your commission spot does not pass us by!

​

Please note that Michelle Weldy retains all rights to the artwork.  The commissioner has the right to display the artwork in their home or business. Artwork may not be resold or reproduced for profit in any way without the artist's written permission.

 

PRINT QUALITY & DETAILS:  All reproductions in my shop are Giclee reproductions printed on your choice of 3 types of materials. 

​

1. Archival Matte Paper

​

Premium Archival Matte Paper ia a smooth, neutral white, matte paper for high quality fine art reproduction. The paper supports accurate color reproduction and high contrast, high resolution output, and is acid free for a longer print life with pigment inks. It features a heavy weight (230 gsm), thick base (9.5 mil), and an instant-dry coating that resists fingerprints and smudging.

​

2. Somerset Velvet

​

Somerset Fine Art Paper has always been the first paper choice among serious artists and printmakers. Ever since the 1700's and the days of handmade paper, Somerset has enjoyed a reputation for quality that has continued to grow through the years. Now Epson brings you this old world paper with an ink jet coating to meet the quality requirements of the most demanding printmaker. Somerset Velvet is a 100% cotton, acid free paper that delivers long-lasting prints when printed with Epson Ultra Chrome HDR Inks. Like all of Epson's innovative media, Somerset Velvet is engineered to give you the highest resolution and color saturation possible.

 

3. Unstretched Canvas

 

LexJet's Matte Canvas offers users a high quality, water resistant poly-cotton blend canvas with an unsurpassed white point. This canvas comes flat and can be stretched over bars or mounted at your convenience. The new pH neutral, acid free inkjet coating allows for greater consistancy from print to print. It creates the perfect medium for fine art printers and photographers alike, truly making it the perfect vehicle for artist reproductions of the highest order.

 

Prints are produced through Prophretic Creations, and more information can be found on their site.

 

 

 

 

 

 

CAN I PICK UP MY ARTWORK FROM YOUR STUDIO?

Absolutely! You are welcome & encouraged to pick up your artwork in person at my studio in Indianapolis, Indiana. Contact me for dates, times, and details.   

 

FRAMING:  I highly encourage framing all your prints and originals.   You can order prints on Archival Matte Paper, Somerset Velvet, or unstretched canvas. I typically use common frame sizes.  Michaels, Pottery Barn, IKEA, and most art stores will have a nice variety.  Don't forget the mat and be sure to use acid free adhesive!  

 

RETURNS: Every order, commission, and sale is handled with extreme care and as much clarity and transparency as possible.  My goal is for you to be completely thrilled with your purchase!  Because of this, all sales are final except in certain situations. Please take the time to read descriptions carefully and the check colors on multiple screens if you are concerned about minor share variations.  I try my best to represent the colors and tones in my work completely honestly and clearly.

 

STOCKISTS & GALLERIES:  I am honored you would like my artwork on your walls and in your shop!  Gallery owners, please contact me through the form to discuss your gallery and ideas. YOU MAY NOT RESELL ARTWORK (prints or originals) WITHOUT WRITTEN PERMISSION.

  

DONATING ARTWORK FOR CHARITY:  I donate regularly to charitable causes, please contact me through the form for review.

 

INTERIOR DESIGNERS:  I love working with designers because I love it when my artwork lives in a fine looking room.  Contact me with any questions.

 

PRESS:  I love working with bloggers, editors, and writers.  There are many images on my site that you are free to use for your article.  Please credit me if you want to use the photo’s, if you have any questions, please contact me.
