  • Does Rachel do commissions? Can she paint my house/my portrait/something else?
    Yes! It's a pleasure to create a bespoke piece of art to fit your home. Rachel would love to hear how she can best capture what you have in mind and what your budget is. Please get in touch!
  • If Rachel is on maternity leave, how will this affect my purchase or commission?
    Rachel will get in touch about any purchases once they are made through this website. Alternatively, you can email her at RachelMerrickArt@gmail.com or use the get in touch form on the website homepage to inquire about timelines for sending out an artwork you are interested in. It would take several weeks for her to ship an artwork, but if there's a particular rush she'll see what she can do! Commissions are still open with expected completion timelines to take several months. She will communicate with you about your spot on her commission waiting list.
  • Do the paintings come in a frame?
    In short, no, paintings don't usually come in a frame due to the additional risk of breakage during the shipping process unless otherwise stated on the product page. Rachel is in the process of securing a frame supplier If you are ordering a paper-based painting (e.g. a watercolor painting), it comes mounted in a standard-sized white mount for free to suit a frame you can get locally. Dimensions with and without the mount are listed on the product page. Cards are not mounted. Rachel may have some frames available for a canvas painting you purchase if you come to Cambridge to collect your artwork in-person. Please get in touch if that sounds right for you.
  • What if I have a particular frame I want to put the artwork in?
    If you have a particular glass frame you have in mind and you want a watercolor painting mounted to fit this frame size, please get in touch and Rachel can sell you the painting in a bespoke mount to fit your frame. This may incur a small additional fee of £7-10 depending on the size and Rachel's existing mount stock. If you have a frame for a canvas painting you want to fill, please get in touch and Rachel can create a custom painting for you in a canvas or on a board in that size. If you see something Rachel made that you love already, Rachel can create a similar artwork in a size that suits your frame.
  • How long does it take for Rachel to send things?
    Rachel aims to ship out your product within 10 business days. Please let Rachel know if you need something sooner.
