About the art:
Kat cuts, molds and solders every piece of copper by hand to create a 3-dimensional depiction of the collector's vision. With special consideration to overall weight distribution and solder joint pressure, every piece is crafted to ensure its structural integrity will last for generations.
Using her own unique recipe of both natural and synthetic ingredients, Kat creates a variety of beautifully colored patinas through expedited oxidization of copper within each painting. While every recipe is carefully selected to produce a patina color that compliments the subjects within the painting, the oxidization process is natural, therefore no two patinas are the same. In its final stages, a frame is handcrafted for permanent fixation to the copper painting, preserving the integrity of the soldered joints throughout the piece and to ease in the installation of the art.
A custom copper painting will greatly enhance the inside view of your home, den, or office space. While every piece is sealed for protection against natural copper oxidization and aging, we recommend following the care instructions provided to optimize its preservation. We cannot guarantee the integrity of Kat's copper paintings after long-term exposure to the elements. Take special consideration before hanging your piece in areas with direct sunlight or extreme temperature changes.
Special care instructions can be found here.

Your copper painting commission will be constructed to the specific shape and dimensions you request. Pricing for custom copper paintings start at the price listed, and may increase depending on the overall size and complexity of the design.
The difference in price will be billed to you after all details are gathered. The piece will be constructed and painted for you, by Kat, using her favorite materials and brands of acrylic paint.
This is how Kat works with Commissions: After you place your order and pay for it, please email details of what you want painted.
(Send to kat@ransomstudiosart.com).
TIMING: Depends on Kat’s travel schedule and other projects already in the works.
Since every copper piece is built from scratch, Kat will take the time to properly cut, mold and solder the copper by hand, before beginning the oxidization process. Oxidization must be complete before she can even begin painting. A copper commission takes approx. 4-8 weeks.
(We can accommodate rush-requests for an additional fee).
Once all of your information is received, Kat will work up a sketch and email it to you for your input or approval. Your price includes up to 2 sets of sketch changes. The sketch process is fun and Kat usually nails your vision on the first sketch.
Keep in mind: Kat chooses to paint in her own style, and she will not duplicate (copy) anyone else's art. However, she will take your desired theme or subject and apply her own spin to it.
If you have any questions please contact Kat at kat@ransomstudiosart.com. She is happy to answer all of your questions!
