Every original I paint is one of a kind. Each year I also paint at least one series created specifically as limited edition prints. Originals outside those print series are never reproduced, so if you fall in love with an original, it's the only one.

Originals are painted in acrylic and oil on canvas and come ready to hang in a Flooded Gum floating frame.

Limited edition prints come in two formats: cotton rag paper prints, sent unframed and rolled in a tube; and canvas prints, either rolled in a tube or stretched and framed in a Flooded Gum floating frame, ready to hang.

Which is right for you?

• Want something no one else has? Choose an original.
• Want the look of an original at a more accessible price? Choose a framed canvas print.
• Prefer to choose your own framing? A cotton rag or rolled canvas print lets you frame it to suit your space.

For more detail, see Original or Print.

Some of the factors you may wish to consider when working out what size artwork would suit different places in your home or office include:

- Wall width and ceiling height

- The depth of the space and opportunities/angles to view the piece/s

- The direction and amount of light in the space

- Dimensions and proximity of nearby furniture and fixtures

- Whether you prefer a single artwork or would like multiple pieces

Originals

My originals are typically created in standard sizes (note: sizes quoted refer to the painted canvas. The Flooded Gum floating frame adds about 3cm to both height and width):

76x76cm
Good for smaller walls and hallways, above smaller sideboards/buffets. Can be combined with other pieces in a series (side-by-side or on adjacent walls).

76x101cm
Landscape orientation works well above beds or taller furniture. Portrait orientation is suited to hallways and slimmer wall spaces.

101x101cm or 100x100cm
Ideal as a medium sized feature piece in a living area or bedroom. Can be combined with other pieces in a series for larger spaces (or adjacent walls).

101x122cm or 100x120cm
Medium sized piece which can be a feature piece in a living area or bedroom in landscape or portrait orientation.

152x122cm or 150x120cm
Larger piece suited to living and dining areas, either on a blank wall or above a sideboard, lounge or dining table where ceiling height permits. Can also be placed above a bed where space permits.

183x122cm or 180x120cm
Larger piece suited to living and dining areas, generally on a blank wall but can also be placed above a sideboard, lounge or dining table where ceiling height permits.

Limited edition prints

Each limited edition print series is released in set sizes, listed on each print. The dimensions refer to the printed artwork itself. Rolled prints include a border around the artwork for ease of handling when framing.

Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference, how big or small your space is and how big a statement you want the artwork to make.

Originals and framed canvas prints arrive ready to hang in a Flooded Gum floating frame, so there's nothing more to do.

Cotton rag paper prints

Paper prints arrive rolled. The most common approach is to have them matted and framed. Your local framer can talk you through the width and colour of the mat, the colour and material of the frame, and whether to protect it with glass or perspex.

Rolled canvas prints

A rolled canvas print is usually stretched over timber stretcher bars. You can hang it unframed or have it framed in a moulding of your choice.

See Framing options for examples.

My paintings aren't made to match a room, but they do have to live in one. If you love a work, trust that. If you want it to sit comfortably, look for one colour in the painting that echoes something already in your space: a cushion, a timber, a wall colour. One connection is usually enough.

Light matters too. My originals are finished with a matte varnish, which cuts glare, so they hold up in both bright and low-light rooms. If you frame a paper print behind glass or perspex, think about where the light comes from, as it can reflect at certain angles.
