• Q: Does the painting come with a Certificate of Authenticity?

A: Yes. Every original in every collection is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity, the name of the piece, the date of creation, signature, and the specific National Park or location where the study was conducted.

• Q: Will the colors fade over time?

A: I use professional, artist-grade gouache, acrylic pigments, & charcoal known for their high lightfastness and opacity. To ensure the colors remain as vibrant as the day they were painted, I recommend framing your miniature with protective glass and avoiding humid environments like bathrooms or direct sunlight locations.

• Q: Is the packaging suitable for gifting?

A: Absolutely. Each miniature is treated as a piece of history. The painting (and accompanying poem for The Journey collection) are wrapped in aesthetic materials and presented in a way that is ready for gifting to a fellow hiker, park enthusiast, or collector.

• Q: Do you take commissions for specific National Park locations or other locations?

A: While "The Journey" follows a specific chronological path, I do occasionally open windows for commissions of special vistas, personal park memories, or other requests. Please contact me at lauravanmoorleghem@gmail.com to inquire about my current commission schedule and information

• Q: I have a problem with my order, now what?

A: I take special care in creating, writing, packaging, and shipping my orders. However, I want you to love your artwork. If you have any questions or issues with your order please contact me at lauravanmoorleghem@gmail.com within 7 days of your order being recieved.
