  • Yes! I love to partner with clients and collectors to realize their unique Foresthetic. If you're interested in commissioning a custom artwork, please feel free to email me to arrange a consultation. I find that meeting over Zoom allows for a more personal connection and provides an opportunity for you to share your goals and preferences for the piece. Together, we'll discuss the size, scale, colors, textures, and mood you envision.

    My pricing is standardized, ensuring transparency and fairness for all clients. A 20% premium applies to commissions, reflecting the personalized nature of these unique creations.

    Please note that due to high demand and the limited availability of specific organic elements, completion times vary.

To initiate the process, a 50% deposit is required.

  • Caring for your Moss Artwork is simple and akin to the care you'd provide for any other piece of art. Here are some guidelines:

    Watering: While these pieces may evoke a lifelike appearance, they are not alive and don't require special care. No watering needed! Just sit back and enjoy your beautiful and vibrant piece of the forest.

    Placement: Keep your Moss Artwork away from direct sunlight and protected from the elements. Direct sun will cause the colors to fade over time.

    Handling: These artworks are fragile, so avoid touching them. Place them in areas with minimal traffic to prevent accidental collisions.

    Natural Shedding: It's natural for small pieces to occasionally come loose. If anything falls off and disrupts the composition, feel free to contact Angela for assistance.

    Dusting: As needed, use a soft feather duster to gently remove any accumulated dust. A gentle touch will help preserve the intricate and delicate composition of the artwork.

    If you have any specific concerns or questions about the care of your Moss Artwork, I am here to help!

  • Moss Art pieces are designed to maintain their beauty for an extended period. Through meticulous preservation techniques, the mosses used in these artworks are protected from drying out or decomposing. To ensure longevity, it's important to keep your Moss Art away from direct sunlight, as excessive exposure can cause fading. Additionally, handle the artwork with care to avoid disturbing the delicate composition. With proper maintenance and handling, your Moss Art will continue to bring natural beauty to your space for years to come.

  • I take great care in sourcing materials sustainably. Many of the mosses, flowers, and lichens used in my Moss Art pieces are personally foraged. The frames are also foraged, contributing to the uniqueness and personality of each piece. Sustainability is a core value in my artistic process. Please contact me if you have specific questions; I’d be happy to share more about my process and why sustainability is so critical in protecting our natural habitats.

  • Moss Art pieces are designed for indoor display and can be hung like traditional artworks. They are relatively lightweight, making them easy to hang using standard picture hooks or nails. Ensure the piece is secure on the wall and protected from direct sunlight and moisture. Moss Artworks look great as standalone focal points, in gallery wall collections, or on shelves and ledges. For a stunning display, consider pairing one or more Moss Artworks with a Foresthetic Art Print.

    If you have specific questions about hanging or displaying your Moss Art, reach out. I’m always happy to help clients and collectors display their pieces to maximum effect!
