Certificate of Authenticity

For artists, buyers, and collectors, certificates of authenticity are vital to ensuring the value and legitimacy of artwork. CoAs also enable artists and collectors to protect themselves against fraudulent artwork.

 

Each artwork that I create is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (CoA).   It includes:

  •  My Signature (hand signed and printed)
  •  Name of piece/subject featured
  • Date of creation
  • Dimensions
  • Details of the medium used
  • Number of prints made (if the piece is a limited edition)
  • My contact information
  • Any other information deemed necessary  

If you have purchased one of my paintings and are missing a Certificate of Authenticity, please contact me.  I will confirm your purchase and provide you with the CoA.  If the artwork was donated to an organization and the CoA is  missing, I will consult my records and provide a duplicate.

 

With all the technology, digital imagery, and artificial intelligence a Certificate of Authenticity is just added documentation that your purchase is legitimate and the artist is the creator of your artwork .
