- I pack all my orders with love, care and thought, while consciously trying to reduce my footprint on the environment and use recyclable or reusable packaging wherever possible.
- I send ALL my orders with a tracking number, which is sent out to the buyer as soon as the item ships out. It ensures safety and trackability till the package reaches its destination.

- I track each order till it gets to its destination safely, and if I notice any delays or problems, I will contact the buyer with the details.

Frame Recommendations: Small and Medium Commercial Frames for my prints
All my prints are sold unframed.
All the prints are trimmed exactly to the size purchased.
I also try to size the artwork to fit standard commercially available frames. Since all commercially available frames are not the same, I also take care to ensure that the main areas of the artwork do not get cut even with a little bit of overhang behind mats/ mounts or within the borders of the frame.

Care Instructions
Please lay out the prints flat after you receive them. Larger prints that ship rolled up in mailing tubes, may need about 24 hours to straighten out before you frame them.
I also recommend that after framing, the artwork not be exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods of time. Even with inkjet printing on art quality paper, long term exposure to direct sunlight may cause discoloration over time.
Reviews and Social Media sharing
The favourite part of my work, is seeing my art up in your homes. Seeing pictures of my art in your homes, how you make it your own, is a very special and humbling feeling.
When you leave a review, it helps my small business reach more people like yourself.
In the day and age of social media, a share, a follow, a review or a "like" goes a long way. It helps us stay connected, not just as buyer and seller but as an artist and connoisseur, as makers and supporters.
Your love, support and shares help my art reach a wider audience and strengthens the connection of how art brings people together.
You can follow me on my social media platforms (linked below), share pictures of the art and tag @soulcurryart in them. You can also get a glimpse of my behind the scenes work, my musings, my real life, my love for color or simply, a daily dose of inspiration.
Reach out and say hello, I will ALWAYS respond back.
