PRODUCTS

​

Artworks sold through this website are one of a kind, original artworks, not a prints or reproductions. The image shown will either be a digital scan or photograph of the artwork. These are presented as accurately as possible although due to the nature of digital imagery, the finish, brightness and colour of items may appear slightly different in person. 

​

Please read the descriptions of each product, especially the size and medium of artworks show on the website. Many mediums used are of a fragile nature and often not waterproof; these include ink, gouache, pencil drawing and pastel. All artwork will be provided in a temporary plastic bag to protect the front surface during transit. It is recommended that you frame you artwork as soon as it arrives to protect the quality and longevity of your artwork. Avoid using frames that allow the surface of the artwork to come into contact with the glass. Use mount board to create a barrier to prevent the artwork sticking to the glass. Artworks are sold unframed unless specifically noted in the description.

 

The exception to this is original “acrylic paintings on glass”; these are only available in a permanent frame as the frame is a structural element of the artwork and cannot be removed (along with the backing board).

​

All care is taken when handling artworks prior to sale. Due to the handmade nature of the work, it is expected that studio sale items such as drawing, paintings or sketches may have minor markings on the front or back surface not visible in photographs. The artist will indicate if more obvious markings are present in the products description.

​

If you have any questions about an artwork please get in touch with the artist thought the CONTACT link below.

DELIVERY

​

Due to the artist’s regional location, express (same day or next day) deliveries are not available. Australia Post or Pack and Send are used for National and International deliveries. The best delivery method will be chosen for the size and weight of your parcel which is estimated at Check Out.  Please note, parcels are much larger than your items due to protective packaging. Large and fragile items are usually sent by courier using Pack and Send to avoid breakages. 

​

Customers may be required to retrieve their delivery from nearby courier depots if unavailable at time of delivery. This is outside of the artist control and is a safety measure to prevent your parcel being  abandoned and potentially stolen. A delayed delivery due to these measures is a better outcome than a missing or stolen delivery from your front door. Original Artworks are one of a kind and are not reproduced if lost in the post.
