Packing & Shipping
Protecting your artwork during transit is very important to me.  The corners are protected with cardboard mouldings, the glass is covered in paper, this is wrapped in protective plastic and placed in a heavy duty cardboard box. Once I have posted your artwork, I will send you a Tracking Number via the email that you have provided. Shipping in Australia can be 7 to 10 days, depending on your location.

My inspiration
Tug boats are a regular feature of Port Hedland's harbour. They help to bring in the large iron ore ships, which is the dominant export for this remote region of Western Australia. They operate 24/7 and can be seen guiding the vessels from anchorage, along the channel which is 22 nautical miles (nm) to one of the 19 operational berths within the harbour. As the sunsets, the sky changes a deep lilac and orange and the boats are beautiful silhouetted against the colours of evening.
