Commissions
Payment
A 50% deposit is required to book your slot in my work schedule. Once your commission is complete, you will be emailed a photograph of your artwork to approve. Once I have received approval, the final balance will be due. The artwork will be dispatched once final payment has cleared.
Payment can be made via BACs or Paypal. UK orders can also be paid by cheque, or cash if local. Please make cheques out to Mrs Naomi Jenkin.
7-Day Money Back Guarantee
I provide a 7-day money back guarantee for commissions, from the date you pay your 50% deposit. During this 7-day cooling off period, you may request to cancel your booking, and receive a full refund.
Refunds
If you wish to cancel your booking after the 7-day cooling off period, you will forfeit the 50% deposit you have paid.
Deposit payment
Once you have paid your 50% deposit to secure a slot in my schedule, you will need to provide me with reference photos, and/or approve the main reference photo you’d like me to use. If a decision has not been agreed on the main reference photo by the date of your mutually agreed slot, then your booking will be put to the back of my waiting list which may be several months long. If more than 12 months pass between the date of your deposit payment, and your approval of the main reference photo, then the final cost of your commission will be subject to my current price list at that time. This may mean that the final cost of your artwork is more than when you originally placed your booking.
Time Scale
When you book your commission with me, I will advise you of an estimated date of completion. If due to any unforeseen circumstances (for example injury or illness) I am unable to meet these timescales, then I can offer you a full refund.
I will always keep in close contact with you throughout the creation process of your portrait so that you are kept up to date.
Changes to a final artwork
Once your art is complete, you will receive an email with a good quality watermarked photograph for your approval. If there are any minor tweaks you wish to make, this is the time to request them. These will be done at no extra cost.
If you wish to make changes that are significantly different from the original order, then this may incur an extra cost. Please be aware that in the case of pastel drawings, due to the nature of the medium, it’s not always possible to make major changes to an artwork once completed.
Once you have approved your art, no further amendments will be made.
Pet Portrait Prints
Payment
Payment for prints must be paid for in full at the time of ordering. You will be issued an invoice with the full payment details on. Payment can be made via BACs, Paypal, cheque, or cash if local. Please address any cheques to Mrs Naomi Jenkin.
Refunds
If you wish to cancel your print order, you must get in contact immediately. If your order has already been sent to the printers, it will not be possible to cancel your order, and no refund will be issued. If your order has not yet been sent to the printers, then you will receive a refund minus £15 to cover my administration costs.
Print Damaged in Transit
If your print arrives damaged, please take a photo of both the damaged print and the packaging, and email me at once. You will need to return the damaged print to me in its original packaging at your own cost. Upon receiving the damaged print back in the post, I will order you a replacement at no extra cost.

- The gift voucher does not include framing.
- Gift voucher purchases are covered by a 7-day money back guarantee from the date you purchase your voucher. During this 7-day cooling off period, you may request to cancel your purchase, and receive a full refund, providing the voucher has not been redeemed during this period.

Original Art Purchases (excluding commissions)
Refunds
If you have purchased an original wildlife art drawing or seascape painting, and you are not completely satisfied, you are entitled to a full refund including the initial delivery cost to you. You must request this refund in writing within 7 days of receiving your artwork.
Once you have received a reply from me regarding your refund request, you must return the artwork immediately, in the same condition in which you received it, and at your own cost and risk. Do not send back artwork until you have heard from me, in the event that I am away. In this instance, I will advise you when to return the artwork.
I strongly recommend using a 24-hr tracked courier service which includes insurance to match the value of the artwork.
You are legally obliged to take reasonable care of the artwork while it is in your possession. If damage occurs to the artwork whilst in your possession, I may have a right of action against you for compensation.

Collection
You are welcome to collect your art in person. Collection is by prior arrangement only. Please contact me before hand to arrange a date and time.
Framing
If you have chosen to have your artwork framed through me, I will discuss with you your preferences on style and colours. I work with a local professional framer who produces top quality work.

Any changes you wish to make after receiving your framed artwork will be subject to any costs charged by the framers. Full payment for your portrait including the framing costs must be made before your artwork is framed.
Framed portraits must be collected in person due to risk of glass breakage during shipping.
