Do you take on commissions and what does the process look like?
Yes I am happy to take on commissions and to create works perfectly suited to your needs. If you are interested in proposing a commission, please email me at hello@paulspencerart.com and provide as much info as possible. Please feel free to include references to any of my other works on my website. Once I’ve reviewed your request, I’ll respond within 3 days and let you know if I can create the work. At that point I will send you an estimate. Once you’re happy with the estimate, I will issue an invoice of which 50% is due up front (with the remaining 50% due upon completion) along with any other relevant information. Once this has been paid I will initiate fulfilment of your order and email you when your order has been sent out for delivery.

Delivery times depend on your location/delivery method. Please see the estimated delivery times on my Delivery & Returns page.
Are artworks insured whilst in transit?
Yes, all artworks are insured against loss and damage in transit.
Do artworks come framed?
Due to their fragile and sculptural nature all wall mounted artworks will be delivered framed. Free-standing sculptural works are shipped on their own i.e. no frame or display case. For artworks of this nature I would recommend housing them in a display cabinet, acrylic box or bell jar to protect from damage and dust.
