25.01.2022 There is no age limit to talent! Can you believe these stunning canvases were painted by an amazing 14yo?? Aren’t they absolutely beautiful! We regularly get artists from the age of 2-97! And the talent is incredible! It’s never too early or late to pick up a pencil, brush or needle and thread! Let your creativity fly and maybe you too can produce something as wonderful as this talented 14yo!!! #abstractart #canvaspainting #portstephens #art #teenartist #artforallages #pink #dotartpainting #floatframe #acrylicpainting #portstephensiloveyou #portstephenslocals

24.01.2022 Gyotaku is the traditional Japanese method of printing fish, a practice which dates back to the mid-1800s. This form of nature printing was used by fishermen to record their catches, but has also become an art form of its own. #Repost @rebeccadeanprd with @get_repost LOCAL SPOTLIGHT ... I have recently bought these two beautiful artworks by Bev McKinnon to hang my walls at home. These, along with many other fantastic artworks, are from the Artisan Collective at their shop in the d'Alboras Marina in Nelson Bay so go check them out! #supportlocal #supportsmallbusiness #portstephens @rebeccadeanprd @artisancollective_ps #gyotaku #gyotakuartist

20.01.2022 Art Deco Inspiration What do you think of these Art Deco styled pieces by Hunter Valley artist @judyduncanart ? Aren’t they stunning! We are so lucky to see such a vast variety of art and photography come through our doors! Judy is a local Bolwarra artist, portraying primarily the female form with a unique Art Deco stylisation. Gorgeous, rich colours are a feature of Judys work. She recently held an exhibition at the @thehunterartisangallerycafe located in Maitland. #hunterartisangalleryandcafe #artdeco #artdecostyle #huntervalleyartists #customframing #artistsoninstagram

17.01.2022 ~ PHOTOMONTAGE ~ our photomontage service is the process and the result of making a composite photograph by scanning photographs or uploading digital files then deep etching and overlapping two or more photographs into a new image so that the final image may be printed as a seamless physical print.

16.01.2022 Custom Framing really takes your photography and artwork to the next level!! We aren’t just talking colours and mat boards here. Marrying the actual moulding of your framing to the content of the artwork gives a stunning result! The frame no longer frames the art piece.....it becomes part of the piece of art! Take a look at this incredible example:- Notice how the frame compliments the image of the rusting remains of the Sygna shipwreck! On May 26, 1974 the 53,000 tonn...e Norwegian bulk carrier became shipwrecked and remained off Stockton Beach, Port Stephens for over four decades. Our local RAAF rescue crew from the RAAF base at Williamtown saved all 30 crew members by helicopter. It’s rusting remains were a landmark and Australia’s largest shipwreck until it was swallowed by the ocean in 2016. This moulding gives the texture associated with the main feature of the image....the rusting Sygna. Highlighting the textures in the item being framed is another tool to use when selecting how to display your artwork. Sure, a beautiful image like this would look stunning in a standard contemporary black or white moulding, but WOW it certainly becomes a feature piece when the framing complements the content of the image and that element of texture is added!! Whether you are a photographer, artist or have purchased an item to be framed, let us help bring that piece to life and give all that view it the wow factor through custom framing! Open Monday to Friday 9:30am-5pm. #customframing #lionstudios #sygna #shipwreck #stockton #stocktonbeach #portstephens #framing #portstephensiloveyou #portstephenshistory #art #raaf #williamtownraaf #raafwilliamtown #photography #localbusiness #professionalframing #stocktonsanddunes #rust #nswtourism #portstephenscouncil #visitnsw #interiordesign See more

11.01.2022 Batik Fabric How many of you have travelled to Indonesia and fallen in love with the fabric and arts over there? Did you bring something home that is hiding in a draw? We love helping our clients get these treasures up on their walls for all to enjoy. The type of framing really does make the difference between a piece of art and a feature piece!! Here we have an exquisite framing example of Batik fabric. Utilising a second moulding as a spacer between the fabric and glas...s, and ultravue glazing to give optimum clarity and reflection control. What is Batik Fabric? A type of resist printing process in which wax is applied to the fabric in specific areas. When the wax hardens, the fabric is submerged in dye. ... The fabric is then boiled to remove the wax. This fabric-dyeing method makes cotton look crackled. What souvenirs have you collected from your travels? Here at Lion Studios we can help you turn your souvenirs into visual masterpieces! #batikindonesia #batik #batikfabric #customframing #souvenir #indonesia #wallart #qualityframing #salamanderbay #portstephens #creativeframing See more

05.01.2022 ~ Linocut ~ How amazing is this linocut by @rachelnewling Rachel Newling is an established, independent artist who has been specialising in various printmaking techniques for many years and is a leading linocut practitioner in Australia. Born in the U.K. in 1956, Rachel grew up next to the beach near Padstow in Cornwall. After visiting family in Sydney she moved to Australia permanently in 1982.... Her limited edition linocut prints are truly beautiful! Here is a little fun fact from her website www.rachelnewling.com - The linoleum is specifically for linocutting & is a bit softer than the one traditionally used for flooring. It is a natural substance made from hessian, rubber & linseed oil. Are you interested in finding out more of the process that Rachel uses for her artwork or would you like to own your own limited edition linocut print? Head on over to her Website to discover her technique and also view the beautiful art that she has available for purchase! #australianart #linocut #linocutprint #art #customframing #nsw #banksia #eucalyptus #bluefacedhoneyeater #australianflora #eucalyptusart #australianflora #artprints #australianmade
