About Me
My art journey started years ago in Melbourne with a fine liner, a notebook and drawing the letter ‘S’.
I loved curves, patterns and was inspired by classic Indian designs. I was then inspired by colour and how it made me feel: happy. I explored this through the sometimes unforgiving flowing nature of watercolour painting.
Following a degree in Education, specialising in Visual Arts, I entered into the education world through teaching and recruitment for four years in London. In 2021, I left this career and decided to take the plunge and pursue my art professionally.
I have recently been exploring colour and ways in which I can evoke feelings of happiness and joy. With this I have challenged myself with oil paintings as I feel the colours are richer on a canvas and have allowed me to find my painting style. Whilst I am living in London, I find myself coming back to Australian objects and colour palettes as a way of reconnecting.
Since December of 2022, I have been exploring 'functional art' and how to take paintings beyond the canvas and onto wood and ceramics. My trays can be used functionally and displayed to add a pop of colour in your home!

If I cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to end the contract (see clause 8- Your rights to end the contract).
4. My rights to make changes.

5.3 I am not responsible for delays outside my control. If my supply of the products is delayed by an event outside my control then I will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and I will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided I do this I will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact me to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.
5.4 If you are not at home when the product is delivered. If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the products cannot be posted through your letterbox, the postal company are responsible for it and will leave a note informing your on how to collect/rearrange delivery.

5.5.2 delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or
5.5.3 you told me before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.
5.6 Setting a new deadline for delivery. If you do not wish to treat the contract as at an end straight away, or do not have the right to do so under clause 7.5, you can give me a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can treat the contract as at an end if I do not meet the new deadline.
5.7 Ending the contract for late delivery. If you do choose to treat the contract as at an end for late delivery under clause 7.5 or clause 7.6, you can cancel your order for any of the goods or reject goods that have been delivered. If the goods have been delivered to you, you must post them back to us in their original packaging. I will pay the costs of postage or collection when the item is being returned due to a late delivery only. Please email me at sefwrightart@gmail.com for a return address.

5.9 When you own goods. You own a product which is goods once I have received payment in full.
5.10 What will happen if you do not give the required information to me. I may need certain information from you so that I can supply the products to you, for example, email, phone number, billing address and shipping address. I will contact you in writing to ask for this information. If you do not give me this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, I may either end the contract (and clause 10.2 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. I will not be responsible for supplying the products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving me the information I need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.
5.11 Reasons I may suspend the supply of products to you. I may have to suspend the supply of a product to:
5.11.1 deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;

5.11.3 make changes to the product as requested by you or notified by me to you (see clause 6).
5.12 Your rights if I suspend the supply of products. I will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of the product, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. If I have to suspend the product for longer than 30 days in any 30 days I will adjust the price so that you do not pay for products while they are suspended. You may contact me to end the contract for a product if I suspend it, or tell you I am going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than 30 days and I will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the product in respect of the period after you end the contract.
5.13 I may also suspend supply of the products if you do not pay. If you do not pay for the products when you are supposed to (see clause 12.4) and you still do not make payment within 14 days of me reminding you that payment is due, I may suspend supply of the products until you have paid the outstanding amounts. I will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the products. I will not charge you for the products during the period for which they are suspended. As well as suspending the products I can also charge you interest on your overdue payments (see clause 12.5).
6. Your rights to end the contract
6.1 You can always end your contract. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how I am performing and when you decide to end the contract:
6.1.1 If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product replaced or a service re-performed or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 11;
6.1.2 If you want to end the contract because of something I have done or have told you I am going to do, see clause 8.2;

If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at 8.2.1 to 8.2.5 below the contract will end immediately and I will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:
6.2.1 I have told you about an upcoming change to the product or these terms which you do not agree to (see clause 6);

10.1 Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. I take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However please see clause 12.3 for what happens if I discover an error in the price of the product you order.
10.2 I will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date I supply the product, I will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
10.3 What happens if I got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite my best efforts, some of the products I sell may be incorrectly priced. I will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product's correct price at your order date is less than my stated price at your order date, I will charge the lower amount. If the product's correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, I will contact you for your instructions before I accept your order. If I accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mis-pricing, I may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.

11. My responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you
11.1 I am responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by me. If I fail to comply with these terms, I am responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but I am not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both I and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with me during the sales process.
11.2 I do not exclude or limit in any way my liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by my negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products including the right to receive products which are: as described and match information I provided to you and any sample or model seen or examined by you; of satisfactory quality; fit for any particular purpose made known to me; supplied with reasonable skill and care and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.
11.3 I are not liable for business losses. I only supply the products for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose I will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
12. How I may use your personal information
12.1 How I may use your personal information. I will only use your personal information as set out in the Privacy Policy.
13. Other important terms
13.1 I may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer my rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation.
13.2 You need my consent to transfer your rights to someone else (except that you can always transfer my guarantee). You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if I agree to this in writing. I may only withhold our agreement if it is reasonable for me to do so. However, you may transfer our guarantee at clause 8.4 to a person who has acquired the product or, where the product is services, any item or property in respect of which we have provided the services. I may require the person to whom the guarantee is transferred to provide reasonable evidence that they are now the owner of the relevant item or property.
13.3 Nobody else has any rights under this contract (except someone you pass your guarantee on to). This contract is between you and I. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms, except as explained in clause 15.2 in respect of our guarantee. Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the contract or make any changes to these terms.
13.4 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
13.5 Even if I delay in enforcing this contract, I can still enforce it later. If I do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if I delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent me taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and I do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, I can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
13.6 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.
