I just wanted something high quality and affordable that would be ready to use whenever I made a sale—and was seriously surprised when I couldn’t find what I was looking for anywhere.
One reason for this may be that many independent artists design their own COAs and have them printed themselves.
But what if you don’t want to design your own COAs?
Perhaps you are busy making things and building your art business, as was the case for me. Or perhaps you don’t feel you have the design or computer skills to make a professional looking certificate.
I could not find the COA I was looking for in the marketplace.
So I made some, and thought I would make them available for fellow artists out there who might also find them helpful.
Certificates of Authenticity that accompany an original artwork give your collectors the assurance that they are acquiring an authentic, original piece of art made by you—and can often enhance the value of your artwork as one worth investing in.
The cards have blank fields for your name and artwork details. They are printed on heavy card stock and you can easily write on them with a marker or pen. Include them with your other paperwork, present them in an envelope or affix them to the back of larger artworks, if so inclined.
If these cards are along the lines of what you are looking for, but you want to have your name printed on them, I’ve created similar templates on Zazzle that you can customize and order. I’ve created designs in a few color schemes and sizes.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope these resources are helpful to you!

This edition of my Horizon series was inspired by the rapidly changing hues of the sky and bay as summer storms rolled in and away, using a limited but vivid color palette in Pthalo and mineral blue.

Living on the coast of the NYC bay, I am so very blessed to be able to gaze out at the water every day. I find the horizon line where the water meets the sky to be instantly calming, centering and at the same time powerful and energizing. Every day is different on the water. From misty gray fog that blends the earth into the sky, to spectacular summer sunsets in pink and tangerine, to earthy blues with just a hint of daylight coming through.
I’ve painted a number of these small seascapes on linen and canvas panels over the past two years. With the last of them sold, I’ll be adding several more this year inspired by my views here on the New Jersey coast (and perhaps a few other locations—we’ll see).
Here are the first three of this series reboot, inspired by the warm, gauzy late afternoon colors at the end of autumn.
