2. CAN I COMMISSION A PAINTING? Absolutely! I enjoy working with clients on a more personal level to create a one of a kind original. Please note however, I have decided to limit the number of commissions so that I can create more artwork to offer new collectors and free up some studio time and pursue my inspirations. If you are interested in reserving one of these openings for a commissioned piece, please email me. amy@amycrewsgallery.com
3. HOW IS MY ARTWORK GOING TO BE SHIPPED? All artwork is carefully wrapped and padded extremely well, and shipped via USPS in a well-fitting sturdy cardboard box. Smaller work is usually sent first class. Packages weighing more are sent Priority Mail. Large or heavy paintings are shipped via FedEx. Most will arrive within 2-4 days (in US) unless drying time is required before packing. Tracking information should be automatically sent to you. If it is not or if you have a preferred carrier, don’t hesitate to email an ask!
Shipping costs cover fees, packaging supplies, time, labor, and storage. If there is any significant discrepancy -/+ I will let you know via email.
International buyers-
International packages are a bit outside of my control. Border fees, duties, and handling fees may be charged by other countries. Tracking is also quite unreliable with international shipments. That being said, I am eager to work with you as I would love for you to have access to my work where you are. Please note that shipments can be arranged via USPS, or other carrier, and shipping costs may vary from the amount you pay at check out. If there is a problem at check out, don’t hesitate to email me directly to make arrangements and discuss cost estimates with you.
4. CAN I PICK UP MY ARTWORK FROM YOUR STUDIO? Local pick up is available for customers who live within the Birmingham area. Select “local pick up” shipping option at checkout to forgo shipping fees altogether and we will work out a time to meet via email.

(This is in addition to purchasing the original art work.)
The collector or buyer may not reproduce the artwork in any way without written permission. If the artwork appears in a magazine or other media I only ask for credit.
