I'm only guessing here, but can't you use
   dc.SetDeviceOrigin(0, height_of_toolbar)
to set the origin just past the toolbar? 

Also, I believe the client area you get when yo call GetClientSize() or 
GetClientSizeTuple()  is the area *including* both the toolbar and 
statusbar, in which case you'd have to substract the height of those 
two from the usable height of the client area.

However it might be simpler just to put your drawing on a wxPanel 
instead, and put that panel on the wxFrame.
