Selected Studies and Works on Paper
​

Studio Archive Release
Before relocating my studio, I am offering a curated selection of original studies, drawings, works on paper, and archive pieces at reduced prices. Many of these works have never been available to purchase and include preparatory studies, experimental works, and older pieces from my studio archive.

The sale will remain open for one week only. All works are original, one-of-a-kind, and will ship in September following my return to New York. Shipping will be invoiced separately based on destination and artwork size.

All works will be signed verso and include a certificate of authenticity.



Terms & conditions

All sales are final. Due to the unique and one-of-a-kind nature of original artworks, purchased works cannot be returned, exchanged, or refunded.
Please review all artwork descriptions, dimensions, images, and condition notes carefully before purchasing.

The majority of works included in this Studio Archive Sale are studio working pieces created as part of my artistic process. As such, some works may carry signs of handling, age, studio use, experimentation, or natural wear. These may include folds, small tears, marks, or other imperfections that reflect the history of the work. Any significant condition details will be noted in the individual artwork descriptions.

Shipping
​

All purchased works will be carefully packed and shipped in September 2026 following my studio relocation and return from travel.
Shipping costs are not included in the artwork price. Once your artwork has been packed and the destination confirmed, you will receive a separate invoice for the exact cost of tracked and insured shipping.

International collectors are responsible for any import duties, VAT, customs charges, or additional fees required by their country.

Shipping from alternative locations

Collectors in the United Kingdom or Lithuania are welcome to contact me before purchasing. As I will be travelling to these locations, alternative shipping arrangements may be possible.
If you would like a shipping estimate before purchasing, please contact me with your full shipping address and the artwork you are interested in.
