'Taking The Leap’

All original art and prints ship from Ballarat, Victoria, Australia.

SHIPPING OF ORIGINAL ART WORK

Shipping times will vary depending on destination and carrier processes.

All gallery-wrapped canvases with the longest edge up to 60 cm (24 inches) will be shipped intact both in Australia and overseas.  

Paintings over this size will be assessed on a case by case basis, and may be able to be shipped stretched within Australia.

Larger works on canvas over 60cm (24 inches) on the longest edge will be removed from their stretcher bars and shipped rolled in a sturdy tube. This ensures safe transport of your artwork and eliminates very costly shipping.

Please contact me if you would like to discuss these options.

 

SHIPPING COSTS

Shipping costs are calculated at the checkout according to package weight and distance and plus packaging materials. All shipping prices are shown here in $AU but will convert to your selected currency at the checkout.

Your artworks on paper may be shipped in a sturdy tube to best protect them in transit. Carefully and gently remove your artwork with clean hands, and allow it to 'relax' for around 24 hours before you attempt framing. You can help the flattening process by placing clean paper over the artwork and gently weighing it down with a book or two. Please be gentle and do not rush this process.

Once the artwork is flat, it is ready for framing.
