Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions below

Shipping

I currently ship Australia-wide only. Original artworks and prints are carefully packaged and shipped directly by me via Australia Post, using a flat rate of $20 to cover safe handling and materials. If you’re local to Newcastle area, I’m happy to arrange a collection time - just reach out before purchasing.

Turnaround Times

Each piece is made and packaged with love and care, so please allow: • Fine Art Prints – 5–10 business days for printing and dispatch. • Original Artworks – 5-7 business days for packaging and shipping. • Commissions – 1–3 months for completion, depending on size, complexity and delay times due to other commissions. I’ll keep you updated throughout the process so you always know what to expect.

Returns & Refunds

Due to the unique and handcrafted nature of my artworks, returns and refunds are not offered for change of mind. If your order arrives damaged during shipping, please contact me within 48 hours with clear photos of both the packaging and the artwork. I’ll work with you to find a fair solution — this may include a replacement print or claim through the shipping provider. Your artwork will always be packaged with care and insured where possible.

Commissions

Yes! I do take commissions. Every commissioned piece is an in-depth creative process — guided by emotion, colour, and intuition. While I can incorporate your preferred palette or décor, I ask that you allow space for artistic flow and energy. A deposit is required to begin your piece, with the remaining balance due upon completion (plus shipping). You can learn more or submit your idea via the Commissions page.

Framing

Framing can be arranged upon request. If you’d like your artwork framed, please get in touch and I’ll provide a personalised quote. I work with trusted local framers to ensure your piece looks beautiful and arrives safely.
