Frequently asked questions
What makes Occipicco Art different from other art shops?
Every piece begins intuitively — without a plan, without a reference image, without a predetermined outcome. The result is work that carries a quality you can feel but not always name. That's intentional. Art for mindful homes isn't just about what looks right on a wall; it's about what feels right in a room.
Do you offer international shipping?

Prints & Products
Frequently asked questions
What sizes do your open-edition prints come in?
Prints are available as 5×7 inch unframed prints and 16×20 inch framed prints.
What are your mugs and notebooks made from?
Mugs and notebooks are printed on demand by a trusted fulfillment partner, ensuring consistent quality with every order. Mugs are ceramic with a gloss finish; notebooks are spiral-bound with a printed cover.
Will my print look exactly like the original painting?
Colors are reproduced as faithfully as possible, but screens and monitors vary, and there can be subtle differences between a digital image and a printed piece. If you're selecting a print to complement a specific room, feel free to reach out before ordering.
Commissions
Frequently asked questions
How do I request a commission?
Use the inquiry form on the Commissions page. Include any reference photos and a description of what you have in mind — the more context you give, the better I can match the piece to you or your space.
Can I commission a portrait of more than one person?
The Colored Pencil Portrait Commission is available for one or two human subjects. If you have something else in mind — such as a meaningful place — reach out and we can talk through whether it's a good fit.
Do Premium Intuitive Painting Commissions come with a Certificate of Authenticity?
Yes. Every Premium Intuitive Painting Commission includes a hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity documenting the title, medium, dimensions, and date of creation. It confirms the piece is a genuine original by Lemseh Carothers-Abdullah and ships alongside your painting.
Do you accept rush orders?
Rush availability depends on my current schedule. Please contact me before placing an inquiry if timing is important — I'd rather have that conversation early than disappoint you later.
What is your deposit and payment policy?
For the Premium Intuitive Painting Commission, a 50% deposit is required to reserve your spot and begin the process. The remaining balance is due before your piece is shipped or delivered. Portrait commissions follow a similar structure — details will be confirmed at the time of inquiry.
What if I don't love the final piece?
For portrait commissions, three rounds of revisions are included before final coloring begins, so we'll make sure the foundation is right before I commit color to paper. For intuitive paintings, the nature of the process means previews aren't part of the workflow — but we discuss your space, palette, and mood thoroughly beforehand so that the piece has every reason to belong where it's going.
Do you ship commissions, or is local pickup available?
Commissions are shipped directly to you. Please allow 7–10 business days for delivery once your piece is complete and payment is finalized.
