Saltwater woman is a one-woman show. All prints are made to order! They are fulfilled based on demand and are printed locally. I hand collect, wrap, pack and send all of the orders that come In. There is no pre-existing inventory ready to be shipped out ( unless it’s an original)
Please allow 4 weeks for orders to be received, printed, and packed - and an additional 5-8 days for shipping. Sometimes that will take longer, especially if you order a stretched and framed print. If you've ordered a resin piece, this needs time to cure, so add a few days on.
Orders ship from AUSTRALIA. International orders take longer to arrive. You will receive tracking via E-mail when your order ships.
Im just an email away, so please reach out if you have any questions

Fine Art paper prints need to be framed with glass.
All Paper Prints have a border and are signed and hand-numbered with their own individual Edition Number

Canvas Prints come with an extra 5cm mirrored edge.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
We recommend keeping your print unopened until you are ready to have it professionally framed. Make arrangements for framing as soon as possible after receiving your print.
Store the package in a safe, dry location, and avoid placing items on top of it. The delicate nature of the inks are prone to damage if not handled properly.
