Is the art ready to hang when it is shipped or is it rolled?

All our art is shipped rolled as a standard or flat for small pieces when appropriate as of October 2021. We are moving to have an option of having your pieces stretched and framed for Australian customers only. 

If you are in the USA including outlying islands, or Caribbean your art will ship rolled. 

What do I do with my rolled art when I get it?

It is recommended once you receive your art, you take it to a quality local framer to either have your art framed if it is fine art paper, or have it stretched on "bars"if it is canvas. 

Is your art and designs hand painted? 

Our art is hand made, and hand painted using the best professional papers, canvas, pencils, pens and paint. We use a variety of methods and mediums.

The reason we can offer a variety of sizes across multiple countries to suit designer interiors, is because our orginal art is photographed and/or scanned by professional art experts, and then goes through the reproduction process. We work with very highly trained and gifted fine art specialists. Our reproduction art is often hard to tell it is not an original. 

Originals are available. Please contact us directly.

Will my art be signed? 

Most of our art in the current collection is an "open edition" and not signed. Sometimes the original is signed, then it is in the reproduction. Sometimes, depending on the piece a digital signature of Susie's is included. 

All original art is signed. It is usually signed in pencil or light pen as Susie doesn't like to mark in a way that takes away from the design intent.
