Celebrating Connection: Floater Framing a Contemporary Canvas for Artist Tori-Jay Mordey

by Jubilee Framers




At Jubilee Framers, we take pride in supporting contemporary artists and bringing their work to life through thoughtful, high-quality framing. Recently, we had the pleasure of framing an original stretched canvas painting by Brisbane artist Tori-Jay Mordey, created for Merivale Studios. This vibrant and meaningful piece highlights the importance of storytelling, community, and representation in contemporary Australian art.

A Powerful Artwork Full of Colour and Connection

The artwork, titled Women in the Boardroom, captures a moment of warmth, unity, and intergenerational connection. Tori-Jay’s distinctive style combines bold graphic shapes, layered blue tonal palettes, and symbolic elements that celebrate identity and shared experiences. The composition draws the viewer into a relaxed and intimate setting, where conversation, laughter, and support unfold naturally.

By using a cohesive colour palette and strong forms, Tori-Jay creates a visually striking yet calming piece. The artwork invites reflection and encourages dialogue around community, resilience, and belonging—values that align closely with the creative vision of Merivale Studios.

We always enjoy working with artists who are passionate about storytelling and social impact, and Tori-Jay’s work continues to resonate across Brisbane’s contemporary art scene.

Custom Floater Framing to Enhance the Artwork

For this project, we recommended a premium floater frame to complement the canvas and maintain the contemporary feel of the artwork. Floater framing allows the canvas to appear as though it is “floating” within the frame, creating a modern, gallery-style presentation that is ideal for original paintings.

The artwork measured 925 x 1230 mm and was framed using the Hudson Black with Gold Top floater profile from Larson-Juhl Australia. This elegant frame offers a subtle metallic highlight that enhances the artwork without overpowering its bold colour palette.

The black outer edge creates strong visual definition, while the gold detail introduces warmth and sophistication. This combination works beautifully with the layered blue tones in the painting, reinforcing depth and contrast while drawing attention to the central figures.

Why Artists and Collectors Choose Floater Frames

Floater frames are a popular choice for contemporary artworks, particularly stretched canvases. At Jubilee Framers, we regularly recommend this style because it:

  • Protects the canvas while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic

  • Enhances depth and visual impact

  • Creates a professional gallery presentation

  • Allows the artwork’s edges and structure to remain visible

  • Complements both residential and corporate interiors

For interior designers, developers, and collectors, floater frames provide a timeless and versatile solution that suits a wide range of spaces.

Supporting Brisbane Artists and Creative Communities

This project also highlights our ongoing commitment to supporting Brisbane’s creative community. Through collaborations with organisations such as Merivale Studios, we help artists present their work professionally and confidently.

We believe framing is an essential part of the artistic process. The right frame not only protects the artwork but also elevates its presence, ensuring it connects with audiences in meaningful ways.

Working closely with artists like Tori-Jay allows us to tailor every framing solution to the artwork’s intention, the installation environment, and the client’s vision.
