Contemporary Artist

Do I need a frame?

Upon arrival, whether cradled or float-mounted, your original panel is equipped and ready to hang. However you also always have the option to frame at any time. I recommend a ‘floater frame’ which offers a clean contemporary finish.

Do you use a varnish?

Yes. After completion, I apply a water-based UVLS (UV-protected) acrylic polymer clear matte finish. This protects the art surface from harsh light and other elements. It also creates a non-reflective matte finish.

Is each piece handmade and one of a kind?

Yes. All of my originals are one of a kind and created by me (Al Schwartz). These are all unique and collectible works of art.

How do I clean my art?

If you feel the need to dust or lightly clean your panel, I recommend using an ultra-soft, non-abrasive dry cloth. It’s always good to try a small area first to make sure you are not damaging the surface. On the rare occasion, if there is a reason to clean further, you can slightly dampen the cloth, being careful not to rub too hard.

What about shipping?

Original paintings are professionally packed and, for all USA destinations, usually shipped via USPS, UPS, or FedEx, insurance included. In some cases where the package is too large, I will ship via freight. Shipping fees vary depending on size. Please inquire directly for an actual quote.

Do you offer returns?

Because of the nature of original fine art, all sales are final. Please contact me within 48 hours in the rare case your artwork arrives damaged, or there are any other issues.

If you have any other questions, contact me directly.
