The Online Gallery has been set up to ensure ease of use for online shopping.  However, if at any time you have a query, or experience a problem, please contact me (refer Contact).  This is a dynamic E-commerce site. You can add items to your shopping cart by clicking "Add to Basket".  You can view your list of purchases in the Shopping Basket and easily delete any items you do not need.  Proceeding to checkout will take you to our secure server where you will be asked for your contact, address and credit card details.  Alternatively, if you prefer, you may fax or email your order through to me.

A confirmation of your purchase will be emailed to you along with an order number.

My prints can be shipped anywhere around the world, with insurance included within the shipping charge.

For unframed delivery, delivery time is estimated to be between two and three weeks, while framed prints (when requested and agreed upon) may incur another week or two for delivery time.  However, I will endeavor to dispatch prints as soon as possible once the order is received and confirmed.  Each image will be printed specifically for you at the time of order (no print stocks are held).

I offer a full-money back guarantee on quality and craftsmanship or if you’re not totally satisfied with your print within 10 weeks of your order. Return delivery costs are at the expense of the purchaser.

Limited Editions and Pricing

All products are priced in Australian dollars.  For Australian orders, GST is added to the purchase price at check out.  International orders will not incur the 10% Australian GST.

A limited edition comprises of a set number of prints, as indicated within the detail of each Gallery image.  An edition is inclusive of the choice of print sizes as well as the choice of Black & White or a Sepia Split Tone print.  Please note, when viewing over the web that all monitors display colours and contrasts differently, and these may vary slightly to the actual print.  If your monitor is not colour calibrated correctly or at all, the Sepia tone will not represent correctly on screen.

Print sizes are represented as the width of the print, which is an a 3 to 1 ratio (width by height).  Please allow additional display space on your wall to cater for the border and frame.

Each limited edition print is personally numbered, with my name and company seal stamped beneath the print (the company seal will be hidden by the matt board once framed).

As the number of prints within a limited edition diminishes, the price of those prints will increase relative to the remaining number of prints within that edition. For example, when there are fewer than 10 prints remaining in an edition, these would generate an additional mark up.  This revised price will be indicated on screen when shopping.

All images presented on this website constitute limited edition prints where indicated.  However, I reserve the right to use these images for media publications and to make artist (uniquely tailored) prints outside of the limited edition.

Archival Materials

All prints are manufactured using the latest technological advances in fine art paper and inks ensuring a lifetime archival quality, with the potential up to 200 years archival life for black and white prints (based on manufacturer’s claims).  Prints that are purchased framed use only archival quality framing material to ensure longevity.  For those prints purchased unframed, framing recommendations are provided (refer Framing).

However, archival life is based on several factors. It is advisable to not display the prints in direct sunlight or where there is high humidity.

Framing

I do not provide a framing option directly to the public as it is generally much cheaper for you to have it framed locally as this will save you on the packing, shipping and insurance costs, which could add significantly to the cost of your investment.  However, if you do wish to have the print framed and delivered, I can offer this service on request and will provide you with a quote and confirmation as to your framing options prior to framing and delivery.

Where framing is requested, it will be provided for Australian delivery only due to the additional cost of freight and risk of damage when shipping internationally.

For those wishing to purchase a print framed the options of matt borders and frames that I would personally recommend are as follows: Frame: timber or black. Matt board: white, cream or black, and ideally in a width of 80-100mm to provide greater impact to your image.

For those prints purchased unframed, recommendations for framing are provided below.

- It is highly advisable that the print is not unfurled before the image is at the framers and ready to be framed as this may attract dust and other unwanted artefacts or damage to the print itself.

- Request archival acid free material for the backing of the image, avoiding cardboard and other paper based material.

- Wood or metal frames are recommended.

- Bare framing, without some form of glazing is not recommended as this exposes the print to ozone and other artefacts. Request glass or acrylic sheet which provides maximum UV protection. Also ensure that the glass or acrylic offers non-reflection qualities. However, I highly advise not to use the ‘non-glare’ glass that creates a fog like appearance over the image (unless it is flush up against the print, which I do not recommend).

- Ensure that the frame is sealed as much as possible to ensure that air pollution, dust and insects do not invade your print.

- Dual wires and picture hooks are advantageous to ensure the picture is easily aligned when hanging on a wall.
