Each piece leaves my studio carefully wrapped by hand, insured every kilometre, and closely followed from the moment it is created to the moment it arrives at your wall.
Every original work leaves the studio with a signed and numbered Certificate of Authenticity. The certificate identifies the work by title, date, materials, dimensions and edition number, and is hand-signed by the artist on archival paper.
The certificate confirms that the work is an original, one-of-a-kind piece; records its provenance from the studio to its first owner; and accompanies the work for any future resale or insurance valuation. Should the certificate ever be lost, the studio maintains a permanent archive and can issue a duplicate on request.
Each work is one-of-a-kind. Inquiries are answered personally, usually within two business days from the Melbourne studio.
