How Do I Get A Custom Piece?
I love doing custom pieces! Please reach out in the contact folder of this website for any questions about custom pieces, or to request one. When requesting a custom piece, please list the following so I Get an idea of what you are looking for:
• estimate of size
•a thorough description of what visually you are looking for as the design
• any specific dates needed for it to be completed
• smooth or live edge wood*live edge wood has bark on the sides, more earthy and natural feel*
Custom Options:
• portraits ( families, couples, individuals, etc.)
• pet portraits
• animals
• sacred geometry and mandalas
• mystical and whimsical ideas
• lettering ( last names, family names, signage for business, etc)
and much more!

How Do I take Care Of My Woodburned Art?
Each wood burned piece of art is very unique and one of a kind. Each piece is sealed by hand with linseed oil to preserve the natural wood, protect it from water damage, and deepens the art to stand out bold and beautiful. Here are some ways to keep it looking amazing for a very long time:
• You may do an annual coat of linseed oil to add another layer of protection, or a boiled linseed oil if you want to darken your piece and have protection as well. I don't believe it is necessary quite often, but once a year is beneficial.
• please be gentle while traveling or carrying your artwork. Wood is very strong and durable, but it isn't indestructible:)
It can still get nicks and cuts, which sometimes I believe adds to the piece, but for your sake, I wouldn't recommend.
• each piece is handmade with love and intention, so I asked that you do the same by being grateful for your piece! each piece is made and designed to add a calmness to your environment, and to inspire the soul that witnesses it.

Can I only Find Your Art Online?
The Hub Art FactoryAbsolutely not! I tend to be more "in person" artist and I prefer it that way. You can find me at markets, live art events, festivals and more!
I work out of a studio called The Hub Art Factory, that is located in Canton, Ohio. It houses around 18-20 peculiar artists, including myself!
It is open to the public every first Friday of the month with a new show each one, but it is also open every Tuesday evening from 7:30 till late. There, you can see my cozy little nest that I have made a home for about 4 years now, and you can also come hang and do art with a lot of local artists.
The Hub Art Factory has shaped me and my art significantly over the last couple years, and I'm grateful for the community it has given me.
