Collector Information

What is the difference between original works, editions, and commissions?

  • Original works are unique artworks created entirely by the artist’s hand. Each original is unique and cannot be replicated.
  • Limited editions are carefully produced reproductions of an artwork, created in a set number. Each print is numbered and signed, making them collectible while more accessible than originals.
  • Commissioned portraits are bespoke works created in direct consultation with the sitter or client. Pricing for commissions reflects their individual nature and is not linked to prices of existing studio works or editions.

Are works held in public collections?

Jaq Grantford’s work is held in public and private collections, including the National Portrait Gallery of Australia, the National Gallery of Victoria, the MEAM Museum (Barcelona), and Parliament of Victoria.

Is delivery included?

Yes. Delivery is included unless otherwise specified. Works are professionally packed and shipped with care.

 

How long does it take for the art to be delivered?

SHIPPING TIMING

  • For orders within Australia please allow up to 14 days for delivery.
  • For international orders please allow 25 days for delivery.

How are works shipped?

Available Works

Is there a review period?

Original works are offered with a seven-day review period following delivery. If, within this time, the work is not retained, return and refund arrangements can be made. Works must be returned in original condition.

Can I request additional images?

Yes. Additional images are available on request and are encouraged for collectors considering acquisition.

How should works be cared for?

Collectors are encouraged to consider appropriate care and display conditions to support the long-term preservation of the work. General guidance regarding handling, framing, lighting, and environmental conditions can be provided upon request.

Commissions

Are commissions currently open?

Availability for commissions varies depending on the studio schedule. Enquiries regarding commissioned portraits can be made via the contact page.

How long does a commission take to be completed?

This very much depends on the size and complexity of the commission. You should allow at least 2 months, but Jaq will confirm with you the timeframe when you commission the work.

Why do commissioned portraits cost more than available works?

Commissioned portraits require a tailored process, fixed timelines and responsibility to a specific subject and client. Available works are created independently in the studio and are priced separately.

Can I still commission a work if I don't live in Australia?

Yes, Jaq takes commissions from all over the world. If sittings are required, travel costs will be factored into the cost. All these details will be worked out in person with Jaq to make the process as smooth as possible.

Can I use my own photo for a portrait I commission?

Unless the portrait is of someone who is deceased Jaq Grantford takes her own photos during a sitting. This way she can create attractive lighting and doesn’t infringe on the copyright of any other photos.

Are commissions of the same quality as available works?

Yes. All works are made using the same professional materials, standards and care. The difference lies in process and context, not quality.
