Studio
Making it Easy
Our studio is centrally located, making it easy for a free consultation and quote at the studio. Call the studio to arrange an appointment.
If the painting is too large or fragile, we can recommend experienced art removalists, generally under $100 within the Sydney metropolitan area. If you have a collection requiring work, onsite quotes can be arranged.
Charges for work undertaken are based on an hourly rate plus materials.
For an initial estimate, please use our contact form and briefly outline the problem including the artist and size if possible. We will get back to you promptly.
