Frequently Asked Questions
About the Artwork
-
Yes. Every piece is a one-of-a-kind, original artwork created by me in my my Kapiti studio. Once it’s gone, it’s gone - I never recreate the same piece.
-
Most original works are sold unframed, unless stated otherwise. If framing is included, it will be clearly noted in the artwork description.
-
All sizes are listed in centimetres and refer to the artwork itself. If a frame is included, the overall framed size will also be specified.
-
Canvas artworks are painted around the edges ready to hang.
Cradled panel artworks are finished around the edges with either paint or clear cold wax ready to hang.
Works on paper are unframed but are supplied with a mat and backing board ready for framing to suit your space.

The work is photographed carefully in natural light , but colours may vary slightly depending on your screen. If you would like additional images or a short video before purchasing, I’m happy to help.

Most pieces are signed on the back, with my initials incorporated into the artwork where appropriate.
