International Shipping

Please email kalinadebruin@gmail.com prior to placing your order to determine if international shipping is available for the artwork(s) you are considering. At this stage a quote for shipping can be arranged.

For international shipping, paintings on canvas stretched on a timber frame will be removed from the frame, carefully rolled and posted in a sturdy mailing tube. This reduces the risk of damage. Once the artwork arrives, re-stretching is a very simple and common process that should be able to be completed by any professional framers. The cost savings of shipping the artwork unframed will typically be less than the cost of restretching.
