** Orders will have courier freight calculated post sale and freight charges will be payable prior to sending of artworks. If you reside in Brisbane or Gold Coast, pick up is available if you wish to save cost on delivery. International customers are responsible for import tax & fees due upon delivery.**
We recommend "Unstretched" Canvas for our Interstate & International customers to save cost on freight/delivery. This does mean once you have received your unstretched canvas, it is recommended to take it to your local art or picture framer to have it carefully stretched over a preassembled timber frame so it is ready to hang straight on the wall. Please allow 10 business days for your order and extra time for delivery depending on your location.
✔️ Our printers print on a heavy weight, fine weave archival canvas and seal with an Australian made archival UV sealant. Under accelerated longevity testing in the USA this sealed canvas hasbeen awarded an archival life in excess of 100 years.
'ALEXIA' ARTWORK STATEMENT
The Lioness is the most gracious and beautiful looking wild animal I have ever seen. Do not mistake the lioness as weak and timid, they are strong & powerful hunters and they work well as a team. They represent sisterhood, family, strong women, mothers, daughters, providers and supporters. I believe the lioness are the true cheerleaders in a successful wildlife kingdom.
A tuiga is a ceremonial head-dress from Samoa. Wearing the tuiga is a privilege only extended to members of certain families with rank and status - the wearer or their family must carry the title with which the tuiga is associated. I added the Tuiga on the lioness as a reminder to everyone that women are virtuous, we are privileged to be connected to such beauty, honourable, valuable women in our lives and we should cherish, protect and honour them with love and respect always.
