What is a fine art print? 

My custom letter prints are fine art prints that are printed on beautiful 320gsm cotton rag paper. Fine art prints are created with the highest quality archival inks and archival paper, meaning that they will last a lifetime. When looked after properly, they will last for over one hundred years. A fine art print is a piece of art that you can treasure forever.

How are they created?

For my custom letter series, I hand painted the flowers and foliage in watercolour to create the individual elements. I then photographed them and transferred them to digital elements, before crafting them into these beautiful letters. Each flower is individually placed by me in the letter, with over 300 flowers making up each letter. They are inspired by flowers and leaves from gardens I have visited, as well as my own garden. I design my work in my studio on the edge of the lovely Yarra Valley, and my prints are printed with great care by my fine art printers on the Mornington Peninsula with the highest quality materials.

How should I frame them?

Custom letter prints come unframed, but as they are an A-size series they are super easy to find frames for! Because they are paper prints (and by paper I mean the most beautiful paper ever), they require framing with glass or plexiglass. As they are standard sizes (A4, A3, A2, A1 & A0) you can find frames that fit my letter prints at places such as Spotlight, K-mart, Temple & Webster, Country Road, Officeworks and other such stores. Pre-bought frames are an affordable and easy way to frame! Just remember if you are handling the prints yourself, be very careful and only handle the print on the edges as cotton rag paper is very sensitive to marking. Only unroll the print when you have the frame ready to go.

Of course, you can also take your letter print to your local framer for custom framing too. Custom framing is the most beautiful quality, but pre-bought frames are also a good option for something more affordable. Natural ash or oak frames, as well as white frames, look beautiful for the letter prints. They are intended to be framed with the white border that comes with the print (as this white border is included in the final print size). If you are after a thicker white border, they can also be framed with extra matting!

How long until I get my print?

Every letter print is carefully printed to order, so please allow 1-3 weeks for delivery. Letter prints come rolled in postal tubes (apart from the smallest sizes which come packaged flat). Shipping is free Australia wide.
