SHIPPING INFORMATION
- NATIONWIDE SHIPPING AVAILABLE - pricing depends on the item purchased and worked out at checkout.
- INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING : International shipping is available on most products on this website but shipping will need to be worked out on an individual basis & processed manually depending upon your location. Please contact us with your order summary & shipping address and Lucy will email you back with the shipping cost. If you decide to proceed, the order can be processed manually over the phone with credit card, bank transfer, or Paypal.
Often it is best for artworks to be sent overseas as rolled canvases / photos as this is often much more cost effective. Also large art canvases are often too large for NZ Post to send so please enquire as to shipping rates of various sizes of artworks to you country.
- DAMAGED GOODS : if your artwork arrives damaged then we will print and send a replacement at no extra charge. There is a process through NZ Post that needs to be followed where the damaged item and all the packaging is to be taken to the nearest NZ Post shop where it is accessed and a form filled in. Please keep all the packaging and email us for more information if your artwork has arrived damaged.

ARTWORK REPRESENTATION
Computer screen image vs printed artwork.
- How artwork looks on your computer screen may be quite different to how it looks in real life as a printed work on photo paper or canvas. This is due to :
- a) Most computer screens are not calibrated for colour and it will depend on what settings the computer has been given for contrast, saturation, hue etc. Therefore you will be seeing the colours in an image incorrectly, along with contrast & saturation.
- b) A digital image of an artwork shown on a bright backlit LED computer screen is a completely different substrate to a stretched canvas or photo paper print, therefore colours / brightness / saturation will be different.
____________________________________________________________________________
UV LIGHT
- Over time UV light will degrade any printed product & fade the inks.
- It is important to keep the artworks out of direct sunlight as much as possible.
- If you are concerned about colours fading it is often a good idea to choose a black & white photograph or a photograph that has muted colours as these will fade less noticably than a photo with bright colours.
