How to Get Started

Step 1 — Complete Your Order

Place your order through checkout and select your preferred size and shipping option.

Payment options:

  • Checkout (credit card)

  • E-Transfer (Canada): send payment to hello@alliebeckwith.com
    → If paying by E-Transfer, proceed through checkout to view your total, then send a screenshot of your selected options and sizing.

Step 2 — Email Your Details

After checkout, email hello@alliebeckwith.com with:

  • Your order numberor E-Transfer reference number

  • Screenshot of your checkout page (if paying by E-Transfer)

  • Your reference photo(s) or idea, any previous work of mine that you were drawn to

  • Key elements you’d like included that are meaningful to the intent or concept of the artwork

  • Any special notes or preferences

  • Your ideal completion date (if applicable)

I thoughtfully consider the key elements you share so the concept remains front of mind throughout the process, while allowing space for artistic interpretation and creative freedom — ensuring the final piece feels both personal and authentically my work.

Rush Orders

Rush commissions may be available for an additional fee, depending on size, complexity, and current studio schedule.

If you have a specific deadline in mind, please include it in your email so availability and pricing can be confirmed before work begins.

Production & Timing

Each painting is created using professional-grade oil paints and materials.

  • Paintings shipped flat (stretched on frame):
    Ready to ship 1–2 weeks after completion

  • Paintings that need to be rolled for shipping:
    Require 12–14 weeks of drying and curing time after completion (recommended to prevent cracking and to ensure longevity)

This curing period is essential to protect the integrity of the painting and ensure it lasts for decades.

Artist Check-In & Final Touches

Near the completion of your painting, I’ll be in touch with a progress photo and a quick check-in. This allows you to see how the piece is coming together and share any final thoughts before completion.

At this stage, minor adjustments can be made if something specific is jumping out — such as small refinements to colour, tone, or emphasis. Most collectors have no notes at this point, but the check-in ensures your concept and key elements feel fully aligned before the painting is finalized.

This process keeps the experience collaborative and thoughtful, while allowing the artwork to remain true to my artistic style and vision.

Shipping Options

Any commission over 4×6 ft must be rolled and shipped.

Option 1 — Rolled Canvas Shipping

  • Painted on canvas, rolled and shipped in a tube

  • $35 CAD flat-rate shipping

  • Once received, the canvas can be stretched or framed locally
    (Michael’s quoted approx. $350 CAD for a 6×4 ft painting — pricing varies by size and location)

This option is the most cost-effective for large-scale works.

Option 2 — Shipped on Frame (6×4 ft or Smaller)

  • Painting ships stretched on its frame

  • UPS professionally packs and ships the artwork

  • Shipping is paid upfront by the artist

  • Buyer receives a receipt and reimburses via:

    • E-Transfer (Canada) or

    • Custom payment link (International)

Typical shipping ranges (based on experience):

  • $200–$1,000+ CAD depending on size, weight, and destination

In general:

  • 24×36” and smaller: shipping on frame makes sense

  • Larger than 24×36”: rolling is usually preferred unless shipping cost is not a concern

Local Pickup

If you’re located in Saint John, NB or the surrounding area, local pickup is available.

  • Select Local Pickup at checkout

  • Your painting will be prepared stretched on frame


Custom Framing (Optional)

Custom solid oak framing is available upon request for select sizes. Each frame is made to order and thoughtfully designed to complement the artwork, offering a timeless, gallery-ready finish. Pricing varies based on size and availability and will be quoted separately once your commission details are confirmed.

Important Notes

  • Please select your shipping or pickup option at checkout — it cannot be changed once your order is placed

  • Rush order fees are non-refundable once confirmed

  • The artist retains all rights to the artwork and may use images for marketing, reproductions, and prints

  • All sales are final
