Affordable does not mean lesser

An affordable original is still an original. It is smaller, or by an artist who is early in their career, or painted in a medium that costs less to make. What it is not is a copy. You still get the texture, the brushwork, and the fact that nobody else owns the same piece.

We would rather sell you one real painting you love than a wall of prints you forget. A print fills space. An original by an emerging artist can be the first piece in a collection you keep adding to.

Why an affordable original beats a cheap print

It is one of a kind. A print exists in thousands of copies.
You can see the artist's hand: real brushwork and texture, not a flat photo.
It holds meaning and can hold value as the artist grows. A print does neither.
It supports a working artist directly, not a print factory.
Free, insured shipping and a Certificate of Authenticity, the same as any piece we sell.
It is the honest start to a real collection.

Common questions

What is the cheapest original painting you sell?

Prices start at about $72. These are smaller originals or works by emerging artists, but every one is a signed, one-of-a-kind painting with a Certificate of Authenticity, never a print.

How many pieces do you have under $400?

Around 26 original works are priced under $400 at any given time. You can see the current selection in our under $400 collection, sorted so the newest pieces show first.

Is affordable art lower quality?

No. Affordable usually means smaller in size, or by an artist early in their career. The painting is still an original, hand-signed, and one of a kind. Size and the artist's market drive price more than quality does.

Do affordable pieces still ship free?

Yes. Every order ships free and fully insured across Canada (3 to 7 business days) and to the United States (5 to 10 business days), no matter the price.

Can affordable original art hold its value?

It can. An original by a working artist can hold or grow in value as their reputation grows, unlike a print whose supply is unlimited. It is not a guarantee, but it is a real difference from a reproduction.
