All paintings come with either a sawtooth hanger or wire to hang in your home. In some instances with much larger pieces, "wall buddies" (corner hanging system) will be installed for added support. At this time, all of my paintings are framed (with the exception of my live edge wood paintings). All you have to do is find the right place to hang your piece! All paper giclée reproductions should be framed with UV protected glass. You can add a mat to enhance your reproduction. If you choose not to mat, please apply spacers on the glass so that the reproduction can be better protected. If you're not sure how to mat or frame your piece, please contact your local frame shop to assist you. Giclée reproductions can last up to 100 years if provided with the right means to display. When your artwork is hung, you can clean it by very gently dusting the piece with a clean, dry microfiber cloth.

Not necessarily! Many of my paintings that I finish in the midst of fair season aren't added onto my website store until the end of fair season (If they haven't already sold). This is just due to the busy nature of the season. If you are interested in purchasing a piece but cannot find it on my store, contact me via email (kellyaodart@gmail.com) or via the contact form and I can let you know if it is still available. If it is, we can make arrangements for your purchase and delivery.

I generally post weekly on Facebook and Instagram where you can see progress pictures, finished paintings and updates about art fairs. You can also join my mailing list on my contact form page, where I provide a monthly synopsis of what I've been working on and my schedule of events.

For those that want to watch me work in real time, you can occasionally watch me live stream my painting on Twitch.

Yes! My painting style is realistic, which means I need to study composition, light, color, etc very closely. Even subtle lighting changes or movement can affect how an object looks. I will often travel to a location to study factors that would affect a composition (weather, flow of water, sky color, etc). I take many photos and videos while I'm on location so when I'm back in studio I can recall how factors play a part in the composition I later build. I rely heavily on subtle details to form art that transports the viewer.

I take on a very limited number of custom work per year. If you are interested in a custom piece, please reach out via email: kellyaodart@gmail.com and I can let you know if I have availability. A few notes regarding custom work: At this time I am only doing waterscapes. If you provide a photo reference, it must be your own photo (taken by you), or a photo provided by a photographer who has given explicit written permission to use their photo for this reason (or has provided CC0 licensing).

If I do not feel I can provide quality work based on your suggestions/references, I will discuss our options for how we can move forward.
