‘First up at first light’

There’s a quiet magic to the early hours — before the world wakes, when everything is still and the light is soft and golden. The Early Bird captures this hush of morning through the poised form of a kookaburra, alert and watchful. Framed by the warmth of dawn, this original painting honours the beauty of new beginnings and the simple wisdom of rising early.

Each brushstroke is rich with texture, colour, and character — a celebration of light, instinct and rhythm in the natural world.

Framing at SEA

How do we frame our paper prints?

All of our frames are crafted from Australian Oak. Our framed prints are sealed on the rear with framing tape and coreflute to ensure that excess moisture cannot enter the artwork.

Our A4, A3 & A2 frames are set behind glass, with a white matte board. A1 frames are also set behind a matte board, however we use perspex instead of glass, as we've found glass sheets this size are damaged quite easily.

Australian oak paper print sizes

A4 - 31.5cm x 39cm

A3 - 39cm x 51cm

A2 - 50.5cm x 67.5cm

A1 - 66cm x 90cm

Please note: All of our frames are handmade, they can vary slightly from time to time, the above are rough guide.

Framing Canvas Prints

Our canvas prints come with a border so that they are able to be stretched over wooden stretcher bars. The only other way to mount a canvas is to frame it behind glass, which defeats the purpose of getting a canvas print.

Stretched canvas prints will be the same size as the print you ordered.

Our shadow box frames add 2cm to each size of the print, so a total of 4cm on top of the print. Eg. A 70cm x 100cm Canvas print stretched & framed in a Shadow Oak frame will be 74cm x 104cm.
