Within South Africa we courier your artwork to your door - the shipping cost will show at the checkout. When shipping art internationally, two primary options are commonly considered: crated and rolled. Crating involves securely packaging the artwork in a custom-built crate, providing maximum protection against physical damage but often resulting in higher shipping costs due to size and weight. We will be in touch regarding the best options for you. Virtual hanging of art is an innovative service we offer that allows art enthusiasts and collectors to visualize how artworks will appear in their desired spaces before making a purchase. We digitally place the selected artworks on your walls, in the correct scale to achieve the desired aesthetic. This service not only helps in making informed decisions but also enhances the overall art-buying experience, providing a realistic preview of the final result and ensuring that the chosen artworks harmonize with the surrounding decor. Please contact us to make use of this service!

On the other hand, rolling art involves taking stretched paintings off the frame, carefully wrapping the artwork and placing it in a protective tube. This method is more cost-effective and suitable for flexible pieces.
Choosing between crating and rolling depends on the specific artwork's size, fragility, and budget, as well as the destination's shipping requirements and regulations.

Maureen Visagé
Maureen Visagé – Ceramic Sculptures
Maureen Visagé is a South African artist based in Cape Town, known for her vibrant, whimsical ceramic and bronze figurines that celebrate love, joy, feminine strength, and the beauty of everyday life. With bold strokes and bright colours, her work is rich in character, emotion, and storytelling—each piece a unique expression of her boundless imagination.
Maureen’s artistic journey began in childhood and was nurtured at the Pretoria Art Music and Ballet School (Pro Arté), where she excelled in painting, puppetry, and sculpture. Alongside her creative pursuits, she developed a keen interest in mathematics, ultimately leading her to study Actuarial Science at the University of Cape Town. Though her career initially led her to London as a qualified actuary, her passion for art never waned.
In 2011, Maureen made the life-changing decision to devote herself fully to her art. Returning to South Africa, she joined a ceramic studio and immersed herself in the medium of clay, building a distinctive body of work that reflects her playful yet profound artistic voice. In 2018, she expanded into bronze, creating limited editions of her beloved figurines, adding depth and permanence to her sculptural repertoire.
Inspired by the nuances of daily life, her work combines quiet contemplation with humour and nostalgia. She often draws from fairy tales, religious imagery, and mythical themes, blending them into compositions that echo traditional European porcelain figurines—with a distinctly hand-crafted, African twist. This fusion results in art that is both familiar and fantastical, inviting viewers into a layered world of emotion and interpretation.
Since 2019, Maureen has been a core member of The Travelling Art Gallery, and her work is currently featured exclusively at The Artists Gallery in Cape Town. Her sculptures are a testament to her artistic vision and technical skill, each piece infused with heart, imagination, and an unmistakable sense of joy.
