FAQS

​

How do I purchase your artworks?

Simply contact us and let us know what you would like to buy from our website. We will put your artwork aside for you. You can visit, view and purchase the artwork from our art gallery in Matua or we can arrange national shipping. 

​

Where can we see your art in person?

We have an Art Gallery at 10 Sunny Bay Road Matua, Tauranga. Viewings are by appointment - please contact us to make a booking. To see what is available now visit our indoor and outdoor art pages.

​

Are your artworks available at other places?

Yes, please see our Bio page for a list of stockists around NZ. 

​

Do you do commissions?

Yes, please contact me to discuss ideas/options. Please note that commissions need to be in keeping with the style of work that I already do. 

​

Are the amazing colours on your copper artworks painted?

No, the vivid colours synonymous with my distinctive artworks are created by a reaction to the application of salts, acids and sunshine. The copper creates a patina on its surface. Each artwork is unique as the copper reacts differently everytime.

​

How do I look after my outdoor artwork/sculpture? 

Your outdoor artwork will change over time due to exposure to the elements. Steel will rust and copper will patina - this is all part of the evolving look of the pieces. We use quality paints and marine grade polyurethane on our artworks. Garden sculptures, copper pots and steel mount rounds require a yearly protective coat of Polyurethane. 

 

Please note: our outdoor Kina do not require any maintenance. These have been designed to allow the patina to continue to grow over the years.

​

How do I look after my indoor artwork?

No maintenance is required if your indoor artwork is kept indoors. Please note that indoor art is designed for indoors only and not suitable for outdoors. View our outdoor art page for works suitable for outdoors.

​

Can you deliver?

We offer free local delivery. For customers outside of Tauranga, garden sculptures and wall art can be shipped nationally via Mainfreight. Please provide your area details when making contact and we can provide a shipping quote.

​

I'm from out of town and want to get an artwork shipped to me, but I'm unsure what shape/size will look best on my wall, what do you suggest?

We recommend cutting out a cardboard template to the size of the artwork you're interested in and putting that on your wall. This will give a good visual guide as to whether you need to go up /down in size, or if it's just right, depending on the space you're working with.  

​

Do you do installation of your indoor/outdoor artworks?

We can offer local installation (Tauranga/Mount/Papamoa/Omokoroa) - please contact us for pricing.

​

Can you create your wall art in different sizes?

Yes, please contact us to discuss your individual needs.

​

Is it possible to see what the artwork will look like on my wall before purchasing?

We offer our customers a Free Art Preview service. Simply send us a clear, bright photo of your wall/room and let us know what artwork you're interested in. We then superimpose the artwork onto your wall to scale, offering a very realistic preview as shown below. 

​

Do you offer gift vouchers?

Yes. We can email you a voucher to the value of your choosing. Vouchers are valid for 6 months from issue and are valid for all current artworks. Contact us for more details.
