About the artist

I live and paint blocks from the ocean in Ocean Beach, SD. The fog, the surfers, the golden hour light — it all finds its way into my brush. I paint traditionally with gouache and digitally on my iPad, a 2016 model that hasn’t been updated since 2019. My goal is to capture the beauty of my coastal life and hold onto these everyday moments that otherwise would have escaped with the blink of an eye. Art is not only a hobby. It is a way to document life, moments, feelings. Maybe you will find pieces of your life, memories and feelings in my art, whether you live by the ocean, visited, or just love it.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How long will my order take to arrive?

Most orders arrive within 3–8 business days. Because your order may include items pre-packed in my San Diego studio alongside pieces made-to-order by my print partner, items may occasionally arrive in separate packages with separate tracking numbers.

Where do you ship?

Currently, I ship for free within the United States only.

Are these original paintings or digital art?

Both! My collection includes traditional gouache paintings digitized for print, as well as new pieces painted digitally on my iPad. Both capture the same soft, coastal feeling.

What sizes and frames do you offer?

I offer standard sizes: 8×10, 8×12, 8.5×11, 14×17, and 16×20 (depending on the piece). I also offer a classic white frame for 8.5×11 prints, ready to hang. All sizes are standard and easy to frame.

Do you take custom commissions?

Yes! I love creating custom pieces—whether it’s a specific San Diego landmark or a unique size to fit your space. Email me at art@vanessa-creates.com to discuss your idea.

What is your return policy?

All sales are final, but I want you to love your art! If your print arrives damaged or defective, email me within 14 days with a photo, and I will gladly send a replacement.
