Aloha!
I’m so glad you decided to learn a bit more about me and my artwork. I hope you enjoy the photos, video snippet of me at work and find answers to all your questions here. But if not, join me on IG, FB or TikTok where I occassionally post on each. I often show different things on each randomly as I find time. There simply is not enough time in my days to press into any Social Media. But I do enjoy dabbling when I have time, in those 3. Pinterest too actually! If you have questions simply contact me. I check regularly and try to respond within 2-3 days.
Mahalo,
Bo Bergemann
Answers to Frequently Asked Questions:
Mediums I use most often are: inks, watercolor, gouache, pan pastels, powder pigments, acrylics and oil paints. Occasionally collage and texture mediums. I am also an adept digital artist, sculptor and designer. Most of the artwork offered here features 3-7 mediums. But occasionally I will complete an entire painting in just one medium like oils or gouache. I go on a very personal journey while creating each piece and simply use whatever I feel I need to create and complete each piece in excellence. I believe in doing things with excellence and offer only high quality products which I use myself.
Sustainability: I attempt to be a fully sustainable artist now in my love for nature and future generations. So, I create most originals on contract as commissioned by collectors to do so. Which is why originals are rarely available here. All other items offered are only created after they are ordered but this is set up well so it happens fairly quick. I do offer hand signed hand embellished Giclee Fine Art Prints as One of Ones or numbered Limited Editions here which may take a few extra days for me to order/recieve and do all that handwork on before I then ship to you. But they are worth the wait because they look like original art at a fraction of the cost while also being unique and gorgeous uplifting additions to your decor!
Art Papers & Inks Used for Fine Art Prints
I use only the highest quality USA based Print shops with long years of experience in this business and the highest quality output. I have literally never yet had a dissatisfied client. My collector’s satisfaction is of utmost importance to me. Limited Edition hand embellished Giclee prints maintain their value well and stand up beautifully while bringing extraordinary visions of light and life to your spaces and places. Although every item I offer is high quality, Giclee is the highest quality I offer next to originals. I also offer a couple more affordable options, all of which are created with the highest quality art papers and inks available at each price level. I have a worldwide customer base outside of Etsy and a long history of fully satisfied collectors.
All Rights Reserved
I retain all rights to my images. I have clear copyright and have created NFT’s I keep as company assets should I ever need to prove my ownership. Buyers may not reprint nor use my work offered here on Etsy commercially at this time. I do offer artwork to persons and companies who then also buy additional rights to use commercially or reprint my artwork as part of their business offerings or marketing. However, Etsy listings do not include such rights. Please contact me personally if you would like to discuss or pursue such options.
I am grateful to enjoy a full and blessed life! I also have my own shop website at ArtOhana.com. That shop pushes my inventory to Etsy.
My Commissions List for 2024 is Sold Out - at this time. But if you contact me I can put you on my waitlist to be contacted when my Commissions List opens back up. Basically when I finish, I'll be in touch.
How My Commisions Work
If you have your heart set on an original painting, simply contact me to discuss it. I will then let you in on all the details of how I do it. I charge $7+ per square inch and will let you know once I know what you are requesting, a clear price and how long my waitlist is as well as what your delivery timeframe will be before sending a contract or expecting a deposit. I’m easy to work with and happy to serve insofar as time in life allows. I’ve always delivered every commission on time as promised. I do have a waitlist for original paintings as I have been an award winning successful professional artist for 15+ years now with collectors all over the world. Although I just recently completed my etsy shop that I began 6 months ago. Simply never enough time in my days. I also sell my art in galleries and at art shows in Hawaii and California.
Dealer, Gallery & Press inquiries are always welcome.
