Frequently asked questions
Are the name pictures original paintings or prints?
Each name picture is hand painted to order using watercolour paints on thick watercolour paper. Each one is totally unique.

If you would like a message such as a date of birth or Christening date, Kate can add it below the name in fine pen or watercolour paint.
Can I have my picture gift wrapped?

The pictures are wrapped in a choice of gift wrap, tied with natural raffia, with some pink for girls and blue for boys.

Can I choose different sizes for my paintings?
I can do unframed pictures any size, but the frames that I get are in the sizes in my shop only.
Can I return a painting if I change my mind?
All pictures are sent as an email for customers to check before posting. If for any reason you do not like what I have done, I will paint a replacement, however, as they are painted to order, I cannot offer a refund unless the picture is damaged or lost in the post.
