WHERE CAN I VIEW YOUR WORK?

I am currently represented by Leighton Contemporary in Australia (Noosa, QLD), and Turua Gallery in New Zealand (Auckland). Original artworks are also available through New Zealand retailer Kayu Studios across their three showrooms and online store.

For a full list of available works, view my Catalogue. If you're looking for a particular artwork, I'd be happy to let you know where it is currently on display.

HOW CAN I FIND OUT ABOUT NEW WORK?

Sign up to my newsletter and follow me on Instagram to be first to see behind the scenes content and be the first to hear about new collections.

Upcoming collections, exhibitions and studio news are announced through both channels.

DO YOU CREATE CUSTOM ARTWORKS?

Yes. I accept a limited number of commissions throughout the year. If you have a particular project in mind, I'd love to hear from you.

Visit my Commission page to learn more about the process and submit an enquiry.

DO YOU CREATE PRINTS OF YOUR WORK?

No. All artwork is original.

IS YOUR ARTWORK SIGNED?

Yes. Every original artwork is signed and dated on the reverse. This allows the artwork itself to remain visually uninterrupted while providing a permanent record of its authenticity.

DO YOU PROVIDE A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY?

Yes. A Certificate of Authenticity is supplied with all commissioned artworks sold directly through my studio. As many original artworks are sold through galleries and retail partners, a Certificate of Authentication is not automatically included with those purchases. However, if you own one of my original artworks and would like a Certificate of Authenticity, I'd be happy to provide one on request.

HAVE YOU HAD A NAME CHANGE?

Yes. If you were previously familiar with Michelle Wilkin Art, you're in the right place. My practice now operates under the name Michelle Witters Art.

HOW CAN I LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR PRACTICE?

Visit my About page to learn more about my background and practice. I also share regular updates on Instagram, including behind-the-scenes glimpses of works in progress and insights into my artistic practice.

WHAT MATERIALS DO YOU USE?

Every artwork is painted on professional-grade raw natural canvas using high quality acrylic paints.

I intentionally paint on raw, unprimed canvas because those organic qualities become part of the finished artwork. Rather than sitting on top of the surface, the paint is absorbed into the natural fibres, creating the soft transitions, subtle variations and atmospheric quality that have become a defining characteristic of my practice.

This means every artwork is unique. The natural texture, weave and tonal variation of the canvas are embraced rather than concealed – they are part of the work itself, not simply the surface it is painted on.

Each series is developed through extensive experimentation with colour, materials and techniques before the final body of work begins, allowing every collection to evolve with its own distinct character.

IS YOUR ARTWORK SUPPLIED FRAMED?

Yes. All artwork is professionally framed, and supplied ready to hang. Unless otherwise arranged as part of an international commission, I do not provide an option for my artwork to be unframed and supplied rolled.

Artwork is currently framed in either a White Oak, Walnut-stained or Black-stained Italian Fir wood float frame.

Frame options are not offered; each piece is supplied in the frame I feel best complements the work. The final framing and finishing choices form an integral part of each finished artwork.

IS YOUR ARTWORK VARNISHED?

Yes. Every artwork is finished with multiple coats of professional-grade matte varnish. I use a spray application to achieve an even finish without introducing brush marks, allowing the surface and natural character of the work to remain uninterrupted.

The varnish provides protection against dust, moisture and UV exposure. However, as with all original artwork, I recommend avoiding prolonged direct sunlight to preserve its appearance over time.

WHAT SIZE ARE YOUR ARTWORKS?

Dimensions are provided for every artwork in their catalogue listing, the size shown is the canvas size. Allow an additional 20mm per side (approx.) for final framed dimensions.

Due to the handcrafted nature of each artwork, final framed dimensions may vary slightly between pieces.

All dimensions are in metric.

IS THE COLOUR ACCURATE?

The images on this website are intended to be as close a representation as possible to the colour and details within the original artwork. However, colours may vary between screens, browsers and devices.

DO YOU SHIP YOUR ARTWORK?

Yes. Most artworks are shipped directly from my Auckland studio. Works currently held by a gallery will be shipped by the representing gallery.

CAN I PICK UP THE ART?

Yes. If you live in Auckland (New Zealand) I offer free pick-up for anyone who wishes to collect their artwork personally from me. Contact me to arrange a collection time.

DO YOU SHIP INTERNATIONALLY?

Yes. I ship worldwide.

If you live in New Zealand or Australia shipping rates are automatically calculated at checkout. For all other international locations shipping costs are quoted individually and invoiced separately.

Please note, any individual country duties and taxes incurred upon arrival at your destination are the responsibility of the recipient.

ARE YOU OPEN TO FURTHER REPRESENTATION?

Yes. I am always open to exploring opportunities for representation in both gallery and retail settings. Please note that commitment will depend on capacity in the studio, existing partnerships, and synergies between both parties.

If you are interested in exhibiting or representing my work, I'd love to hear from you.

DO YOU WORK WITH DESIGNERS, STYLISTS, PHOTOGRAPHERS AND BRANDS?

Yes. I regularly collaborate with other creatives in the industry, if you have a project in mind and are looking for artwork to complete your project, I'd love to hear from you.

For examples of my artwork in-situ within beautiful homes and spaces please look at my Featured page on my website.

DO YOU OFFER RETURNS, REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES?

No. All purchases are final. Due to the original nature of my artwork, I do not offer returns, refunds or exchanges for change of mind. Full details, including my policy regarding damaged or incorrect orders, can be found on my Policies page.

ARE YOUR COMMISSION DEPOSITS REFUNDABLE?

No. A non-refundable deposit is required to secure all Commission bookings. As I accept only a limited number of commissions each commission period, your deposit reserves dedicated studio time and your place in my schedule, which cannot then be offered to another collector. Please consider your commission carefully before confirming your booking.
