BUYING GUIDE
1. Feel First, Think Later Forget what’s “in” or “on trend.” Art is all about feeling. Do you smile when you see it? Does it spark something inside you? That’s the one. Go with your gut - it’s usually right.
2. Size Matters (but not like that!) Consider where it’s going to live:
- Big blank wall? Go bold with a statement piece.
- Little nook or shelf? A small artwork can add the perfect pop.
- Gallery wall? Mix it up! Different sizes, shapes, and colours = major personality.
If you’re unsure, tape out the dimensions on your wall to get a feel for it. Or shoot me an email - I love helping with this stuff!
3. Framing Vibes All my original works come ready to hang - either framed or on a stretched canvas with finished edges (no ugly sides here). If you’re after a custom frame to suit your home, I can help organise that too. Let’s make it sing!
4. Payment + Lay-Bys Yep, I offer flexible payment options. If there’s a piece you adore but need to spread out the cost, let’s chat about a payment plan. I want you to live with art you love - not stress about it.
5. Shipping the Love I ship Australia-wide and internationally. Your artwork will be safely packed, handled with care, and delivered right to your door. If you're local to Newcastle, I may even deliver it myself with a big ol' grin.
6. Commission Something Just for You Got a colour scheme in mind? A wall that’s screaming for something custom? I love working one-on-one to create bespoke pieces. Hit me up and we’ll make the magic happen.
Final Word Buying art should be a joy - not a chore. There are no rules, no right or wrong. Just colour, expression, and finding that one piece that makes your heart do a little happy dance.
Still got questions? Don’t be shy. Reach out via email or Instagram - I’m always up for a chat.

Original or Print?
Let’s Break It Down
So, you’re eyeing off some artwork and wondering… should I go for the original or grab a print?
Great question. Both are beautiful options - it just depends on what you're after. Here's the lowdown to help you decide what’s right for you and your space.
Originals - One of a Kind
Each original painting is exactly that - the original. The real deal. The one I created with paint-splattered hands, a soundtrack blasting, probably barefoot, and possibly with a wine glass nearby.
Why people love them:
- 100% unique - no one else will own the same piece
- You can feel the texture, movement, and energy in every brushstroke
- It’s a true collector’s piece (and sometimes an emotional one, too!)
- Often framed and ready to hang
Best for: People who want that one special piece that speaks straight to the soul - a forever artwork.
Prints - Affordable & Gorgeous
Prints are high-quality reproductions of my original artworks. They’re professionally photographed and printed using archival inks on beautiful, heavyweight paper - so the colours pop and stay vibrant for years.
Why people love them:
- Budget-friendly way to bring art into your home
- Available in different sizes to suit your space
- Easy to frame and style
- Still filled with love, joy, and Clare colour!
Best for: Brightening up a room, starting your art collection, gifting, or mixing into a gallery wall.
Still Stuck?
If you're torn between the two, here’s my hot tip: go with what feels right. Art is personal - whether it's the only one in the world or one of a handful, if it speaks to you, it's meant to be yours.
And if you’re unsure? Just shoot me a message! I’m always happy to help you figure it out (zero pressure, promise).
