I OFFER EXTERNAL FRAMING IN HOUSE TO PROVIDE A COMPLETE ONE STOP SERVICE TO MY CLIENTS

Now your artwork can leave here and arrive at your door, ready for hanging or installation without needing to make a detour to a framers shop. One shipment of freight, greatly reduces any chance of damage, and it also means that I have complete control over the quality you receive.

My moudings are sourced from certified Australian timber suppliers, that are sustainable and support the Australian Forestry Industry.

Whilst there are a zillion options in the market for design and colour, I offer primarily floating frames (Where the painting appears to float in them) in natural, black, midnight blue and white. 

"Why don't you include mouldings free on all your art?"  Answer; for several reasons:

1. I don't feel that all pieces are better with an external frame, and to the contrary if I think a piece is represented best with external moulding, I will include that in the price, and it will be clear in the listing.

2. Not all clients like frames. 

3. Your décor may call for a different option with framing. Such as something more ornate, which may be at a different price point.

4. I only use the best floater mouldings available, and they are expensive per lineal meter! They also "Cube" the cost of freight substantially.

A little about the frames and process:

I have modern Morso Gullotines and AlphaMaccine underpinners which are both Italian made (of course!). The vertical edges are finished with glue and pins to ensure they will never separate. 

A 6mm gap is left between the edge of the canvas, and the frame creating a shadow, giving the illusion of the painting "Floating" in the frame. This also allows some of the edge finishing of the painting to be visible. I ALWAYS finish my edges to match the face of the painting.

With all things wood related (Being a natural product) it needs sanding and finishing. My natural frames are finished with a Gillys Liquid Beeswax to give a classic lustre and finish, and colours are sprayed with a varnish finish.

Many framers and artists tend to offer a Gesso (Plastic) finish for colours and sometimes even natural. I will only ever use wood. It looks better, finishes better and should anything ever go wrong with a bump, or if you are moving your art, it can be sanded and finished again. Once gesso if scratched or marked, its virtually impossible to restore.
