This March we celebrate B Corp month with up 50% off thousands of artworks in our artist sales
Beautiful painting, finely painted and lifelike. I am delighted with it! It arrived well packaged and in good condition. The delivery was complicated by customs charges (as it was sent to the UK), which I didn't expect as the acutal value of the painting was less than that where charges normally arise, but were due to postage adding to the "value", (not logical in my opinion!) which made the whole process slow and complicated. This was no fault of the aritist, but made the purchase a little less straightforward. The artist kindly refunded part of these costs and was honest about the shipping too. Communciation was excellent and she efficiently sent the painting. Definitely an artist worth supporting! Overall a lovely unique addition to my new collection. Thank you very much!

Thank you Lena for your attention to detail as well as wonderful art work. I love the tong and cheek subject you have chosen and also would like to thank you for wonderful packaging you included. The packaging was so beautifully painted I have framed it also. Thank you again for your expressive artwork!

Lena was pleasantly professional and an excellent communicator! My painting arrived in a carefully engineered box to protect the fresh paint and structure of the canvas.
