Artwork story

My nan taught me to look closely at the things most people walk straight past. Not just to notice a leaf, but to wonder why one edge is serrated and another smooth, why colour gathers in one place and fades in another. She gave me that habit before I understood any of the science behind it. Some ways of seeing become part of us long before we have words for them.

For Leaf Curvature, I turned that same attention toward a single leaf and photographed it at true-to-life scale. I used engineering software to measure the radius of each curve, then annotated it like a technical drawing. Separated from the collective, its faint white edging, flush of red and shifting contours became visible—the quiet specificity we often miss until something ordinary is given our full attention.

Print Details

Each artwork is printed on Ilford GALERIE Prestige Smooth Pearl, 310gsm, a heavyweight photographic paper with a softly lustrous semi-gloss finish.

I chose this paper for the way it holds fine photographic detail and rich colour while keeping reflections softer than a high-gloss print.

Fine Art Prints that include a white border are designed that way as part of the artwork presentation. The selected size refers to the full dimensions of the printed sheet, including the border.
Framing Details

Framed works are handmade in Sydney and arrive ready to hang.

Choose from Black, White or Natural Oak. Each frame has a clean gallery-style profile measuring 2 cm wide × 4 cm deep.

The artwork is protected behind UV-resistant Shinkolite Perspex and backed with 5 mm acid-free adhesive foamcore.

The work is presented without a mat, allowing the image to sit cleanly within the frame. Where a white border is included, it forms part of the artwork itself and is not a framing option.
Shipping & Returns

Each Fine Art Print is made to order in Sydney, with free standard delivery Australia-wide.

As a guide, allow approximately 1–2 weeks for metro areas, 2–3 weeks for regional areas, and 3–4 weeks for WA, NT and TAS. Tracking is provided once your order has been dispatched.

Because each print is made specifically for your order, I don’t generally accept returns or exchanges for change of mind.

If your artwork arrives damaged, faulty or incorrect, please contact me as soon as possible with your order number and photos of the artwork and packaging. I’ll work with you to arrange the appropriate remedy.
