How will my artwork be packaged?

Dorothy Fagan has been crating and shipping her paintings for 40 years. Every original painting and fine art print is inner wrapped and crated in heavy weight corrugated cardboard carton with lots of cushioning.  

This photo shows a framed canvas limited edition in its packaging as it arrives to your home. The same care is given to every original oil painting.

Why is Shipping so Expensive?

I am an independent artist, not Amazon! With that, the original one-of-a-kind artworks we ship must be crated and guaranteed to arrive at your home in perfect condition. I have been shipping art for forty years, with very few lost or damaged pieces. We've learned the best way to get your art delivered!

FEDEX GROUND & FREIGHT

We purchase or construct crates and packaging that will protect your new aquisition during shipment. Our shipping expert is experienced with handling fine art, and how to package it properly. We usually ship via FedEX Ground or FedEX Freight for oversize pieces.

Do you offer white glove delivery & Installation?

WHITE GLOVE DELIVERY & INSTALLATION

If you are on the East Coast, we offer white glove delivery and installation in your home or place of business. This is especially helpful for oversize paintings, multiple artworks, or special needs. Contact us for availability in your area and a quote. 

USPS Smaller artworks (under 16" x 20") may be shipped USPS Priority Mail.
