Fine Art Framing & Secure Worldwide Shipping
Ensuring your art investment arrives in flawless condition, with museum-grade protection from my studio to your wall.
Cheryl Harrison Art offers premium, ready-to-hang, hand-crafted floating timber frames for original abstract paintings and fine art canvas prints. My framing service features high-quality archival materials, including sustainable Australian timber options, tailored specifically for art collectors seeking secure, professional presentation and reliable international shipping.
To eliminate the risk of transit damage and keep delivery costs viable, I ship all of my artwork as rolled canvas. Shipping fine art rolled inside a heavy-duty, reinforced artist tube is the gold standard for protecting delicate paint surfaces and canvas fibers during transport.
How Stretching & Framing Works
For Australian Collectors
If you choose to purchase your artwork framed, I manage the entire process seamlessly for you. Once the rolled canvas arrives safely at my professional framer, they will stretch the canvas and hand-craft your custom floating timber frame using premium Australian woods like classic Oak. Once complete, my framer will either personally deliver the finished statement piece straight to your home or liaise directly with you to provide full courier tracking details.
Global Protection
For International Collectors
To strictly minimise international shipping costs and completely eliminate the threat of custom glass or frame breakage overseas, all international sales are sold exclusively as rolled canvas. Your artwork will be safely sealed in an industrial-grade tube. Upon arrival, any reputable local frame shop in your city can easily stretch the canvas and frame it to suit your specific interior design requirements.
Museum-Standard Transit Protection
I believe buying contemporary abstract art online should be an exciting, stress-free experience. By specializing in rolled canvas shipping, I ensure your artwork is fundamentally protected from the physical impacts of courier handling.
- Wrapping: I wrap all of my paintings in a layer of bubble wrap then encase them in a plastic sleeve for protection against any moisture.
- Heavy-Duty Tubes: I use thick-walled, crush-proof shipping tubes sealed tightly at both ends against environmental elements.
- 100% Insured Tracking: Every shipment is comprehensively insured and tracked, keeping you fully informed from my studio door to your destination.
Frequently Asked Framing & Shipping Questions
Why do you ship paintings as a rolled canvas?
Shipping art rolled is the single safest method to prevent damage. Stretched canvases are highly vulnerable to being punctured, dented, or warped during transit. Rolling the canvas eliminates these risks entirely, while significantly lowering your shipping fees.
How do I get my artwork stretched and framed in Australia?
I take care of it for you. When you order a framed piece within Australia, I ship the rolled canvas safely to my trusted professional framer. They complete the high-end stretching and floating timber framing, then arrange a personal delivery or contact you directly with tracked courier details.
Can I buy a fully framed painting if I live overseas?
No. To avoid extreme shipping costs and prevent structural breakage during long-distance transit, all international orders are sold strictly as rolled canvas. This gives you the safest transit possible and allows you to support a local craftsman in your hometown for the stretching and framing.
What is a floating timber frame?
A floating frame (or shadowbox frame) is a premium gallery finish designed for canvases. It leaves a subtle, sophisticated gap between the edge of the artwork and the wood profile. This creates an elegant illusion that the painting is suspended inside the frame, adding beautiful visual depth to my abstract work.
