All designs are hand-painted, and I am ready to share most of them with the world!  They make great gifts, and each pair is lovingly crafted to stand the test of time. I happily take requests!

How do I buy a pair?
Until I can streamline my ordering system, please contact me if you are interested in buying a pair. Prices may vary depending on the price of plain shoes, materials, and time required for the design. I am working on implementing stable prices in the near future.

Do you only paint Vans?
Nope, I'll paint just about anything! Most of my gallery is Vans at the moment, but I am open to the idea to painting everything from Chuck Taylors to boots. Special requests can be worked out through me.

Will they last?
The first pair of custom shoes I ever painted was a pair of orange, green and black Dino Vans as a gift for my sister, Jill Greenseth. She wore them religiously for a couple of years and recently showed them to me again. In my opinion, the shoes themselves are more worn out than the actual design! I use Jaquard Neopaque and Lumiere acrylic fabric paints and occasionally small amounts of other acrylics. I only use materials I hold in the highest confidence as an artist.

Why are some pairs listed as "not for sale?"
Some shoes in the gallery were created as "fan art" and are not for sale/were never sold. Others, like the "Galaxy" shoes, are not for sale due to a lack of personal research in how well those particular materials hold up over time when worn. Other shoes may periodically be listed as "not for sale" if the design is overly time-restrictive and my number of requests is high.

I am not officially partnered/affiliated with Vans Inc. or any other shoe company.
