How to Order the Art you see on Fine Art South

Ordering art to own from Fine Art South has completely changed. There are now two ways to order art by Shelly Leitheiser, owner of Fine Art South, LLC.

The first and best way to own my art is to purchase art from my new e-commerce art store on Artspan. Artspan is a wonderful, well-known, highly  reputable  online art store for hundreds of artists around the country. They have been selling art to collectors for several decades and have a reputation for excellence. They also sell prints of any artwork you see on their site, or here, on request (if they are already not set up to offer prints.) Just go to FineArtbyShelly.com and browse the galleries there. Most of my art for sale will be listed there, but for now, as of August 2023, not everything is there yet and may not even be added.  But new art is being added there weekly. 

For any piece of art you would like to buy that you see here but don’t see on FineArtbyShelly.com, or would like to inquire about, get in touch with me directly using the email info@fineartsouth.net

If using that email, put  “Art Inquiry” or similar in the subject line. Include your name, state and country for shipping cost accuracy.

The main reason for this big change is that many fake accounts were being created here (by people in other countries, who want to hack into this site or otherwise damage it). As a result I can’t allow any art collectors to create accounts here, and don’t feel like it would be a secure place to order from – unlike my Artspan site, which has much more security. You can feel very secure buying art from the Artspan art marketplace and from my shop there, FineArtbyShelly.com

I am also listing art and prints for sale on Fine Art America but keep in mind that website is older. As a result it only has a few things on it, most of them not seen here.  My newest artwork is only on this website and on FineArtbyShelly. 

If you email me directly, I can provide more details, such as price, more photos, and more. A select few pieces of art may have prices and/or additional info on this website, but most will not.

I also have a few pieces of art to buy through eBay for huge discounts. Here is my art shop there.

Here are some basic things to know about ordering my art that still apply. 

Fine Art South is located in beautiful North Georgia, just north of Atlanta, in the United States.

Shipping artwork is generally lower cost within the continental United States. For Alaska, Hawaii, and countries outside the United States, extra postage must be added. Shipping artwork is almost always more expensive than shipping other products because of special handling and packing requirements. There will be extra handling time for larger paintings; anything over 18″ x 24″ will take extra time to ship, usually an extra 2-4 days, because they need special packaging. You will be informed after you order on FineArtbyShelly.com as to when you can expect your artwork and will be provided with a tracking number.

Original art and prints make great gifts, as well as enhancing your own space. Contact me about any art you are interested in. I also consider commissions.
