"PALM VALLEY - THE GAP"

Your museum quality Giclee print will be rolled and shipped in a Mailing Tube free of charge in Australia and overseas - see more information in my FAQs.

Mailing tube shipping is by far the safest, most efficient and economical way to ship artwork - then when you receive it you can get a local framer to frame it exactly how you choose.

If you prefer to receive your artwork ready to hang on the wall, simply have the work STRETCHED - (the sides will be coloured or mirrored to match the print), and it looks very contemporary (this is my preferred way to hang artwork). Or if you prefer, you can add a FRAME in black, white or natural timber. Prices will adjust as you explore each option in the purchase section of this page.

The resulting price is then all you then have to pay as shipping within all but the most remote areas of Australia is included in the price.

If you would like it shipped overseas, or to remote Australian destinations, please contact me directly at kate@kateowenart.com. Depending on the location, it may cost a little extra if the print is stretched or framed - but I try to keep all prices as low as possible.

Note: we do not frame paper prints either here or overseas due to the fragility of the glass in the frames. It's much safer for you to get it done locally.

I am fascinated by Palm Valley in Central Australia. Reachable only by 4wd (but only a day trip from Alice Springs), it is a virtually hidden location where precious water can always be found. That is unusual in this country! The valley itself is quite small and protected, and as a result, rare and ancient species of cycads and palms have survived here. The Finke River (one of the oldest rivers in the world) runs, trickles or just forms a chain of pools through the valley, depending on the season.

I've tried to show the ancient life forms, and the mysterious ambience of Palm Valley with this series of artworks.

A series of 50 Limited Edition prints is available for this artwork either on paper (from 61 x 61cms including a 5cm white border), or on Canvas from 92 x 92cms to 140 x 140cms. This artwork is perfect for Giclee prints as its strong design and textured finish look extremely striking.

Of course all my prints look good because they are such high quality reproductions, and most people do not believe they are prints. If you would like my opinion, this artwork looks spectacular on paper. This is because the matte finish of paper prints shows every minute detail of the original work in living texture, and a box frame sets it off beautifully in its white border. However, it also looks amazing, as did the original painting, on a large sized canvas where the satin sheen of the protective varnish makes the colour really 'POP'! It's all a matter of your personal preference....

Please note all my prints can be shipped world wide rolled in a mailing tube. Also see my FAQ section or contact me for more information.

These quality prints are produced on Canson 310gsm Photo rag with 12 Colour Pigment Ink OR Premium Chromata LYVE 450gsm Canvas with 12 Colour pigment ink + Varnish (see options).

The artwork was first scanned in high detail on a flatbed scanner. Each print is individually numbered and either signed, embossed with the authorised Kate Owen signature, or accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity - the scanned file will be destroyed when the limited edition of 50 copies World Wide is sold so that no further prints can be made. See FAQ for more information about prints.
