FAQs

Welcome to Christine Fox Studio! I hope you enjoy your visit. Pop your email address into my collector's list popup for occasional updates and exclusive sneak peeks.

Genuinely One of a Kind for your Unique Home

As a collector, you're choosing hand craftsmanship practiced over decades and produced from the heart. You'll see the artist's hand in perfectly-imperfect marks created from hand-transferring her photograph to the canvas using traditional art mediums and techniques in her tiny studio.

How can I be notified of new work?
The best way to keep up with my new work is to join my collector's email list.

How can I purchase a painting or print?
All available artworks are listed on my website. Once you find a piece you're interested in, add it to your cart and then follow the steps to complete check out. All sales take place through my website on the secure Shopify platform. 

If an original piece or limited-edition art print has sold out, it will be marked as such and you'll be unable to add it to your cart.

I use Shopify Payments, which accepts all major credit cards.

Color Capture

I do my best to capture item colors in listings as accurately as possible, but colors may vary slightly based on your monitor settings. Be sure to read descriptions and sizes carefully, and please contact me if you have any questions or would like to see additional photos.

Does your artwork come with a certificate of authenticity?
Yes, each original artwork and limited-edition art print arrives with a signed certificate of authenticity.

What is your return policy?
All sales are final. I do my best to capture item colors in listings as accurately as possible, but colors may vary slightly based on your monitor settings. Be sure to read descriptions and sizes carefully, and please contact me if you have any questions or would like to see additional photos.

What if I'm really interested in a piece but am having trouble picturing it in my room?
I totally get it - it's not always easy to visualize something new in your home. If there's a piece you're interested in but need to visualize in your room, I can create a digital art mockup for you. I just need a couple photos of your space in natural lighting and a few measurements. Think of it like a digital try-on. Contact me to inquire!

Do you offer local delivery for original paintings?
Yes, within Saratoga! Let me know if you'd like your painting delivered in person, and we'll work out a time via email to meet locally.

What is your shipping method/timeline?
For domestic orders, I ship most orders within 7 - 10 business days. Prints are shipped via USPS, and paintings are shipped via USPS or UPS (depending on size). Prints may take 10-14 business days to arrive as they are printed to order.

Tracking information will be provided for every order. 

Do you ship outside the U.S.?
I ship to Canada, Australia, and other select countries outside of the U.S. via USPS International and UPS (Canada). Buyers are responsible for any customs and import taxes that may apply. I am not responsible for delays due to customs.

What if an item arrives damaged?
In the rare instance that your product is damaged upon delivery, please email me with photos of the packaging and item immediately, and I'll work with you to fix the problem.

How can I care for my investment?
Caring for your artwork is an important part of preserving your investment. A painting is an heirloom that can be passed down for generations.

My original paintings on canvas are varnished over an isolation coat, excluding any embroidery and except when noted, which helps protect them from dust, moisture, and damaging UV rays.

Please keep hands off of the embroidery as it is very delicate.

Be sure to hang your artwork out of direct sunlight and away from any high-moisture zones like steamy bathrooms or busy kitchens. A controlled environment is the safest (think of your favorite art museums).

You can gently dust your painting when needed with a clean, dry feather duster. Never use any type of cleaning agent on your painting. Stylistically, framing is a personal preference, but it can help preserve your piece as it protects the vulnerable sides and corners of your painting from direct contact. Natural oils from your hands can build up over time and damage works of art as well, so keeping fingers away from the painting and embroidery, and only holding it by the sides, hanging wire, or frame is best practice.

Original artwork on paper are even more vulnerable to environmental effects, and should always be professionally framed with archival, acid-free, lignin-free matting materials behind protective glass or plexiglass.

Prints (Reproductions):
All of my prints are fine art giclée reproductions and created with museum-quality materials including pigment-based inks and acid-free archival art papers. A UV-protective fine art print spray is applied to every print. With proper care, as above, these prints can last many decades without significant fading.

Print Care:
Keep handling to a minimum. As with all art on paper, prints should not be displayed in direct sunlight or near high levels of heat or moisture; a controlled environment is best. Do not attempt to clean surface with water, damp cloth, or any type of solvent. For best results, have your piece professionally framed with archival materials and always frame using a mat between the print and the UV-protective glass/acrylic.

I need a larger print size! Can you do that?
I offer a variety of print sizes, from 4" x 6" up to 17" x 22". Not every print is available in every size. If you want my art to take up a larger space, you can try framing several of my prints for a gallery-style look. Many of my prints look fabulous together and bring a richer view of Saratoga Springs into your home.
