Our art print series is a love letter to native flowers from around the world. Each print starts as an original gouache painting, and each one is named after an old name for the land its flowers come from. Here is the story behind the four designs.
New Holland: Australian native flowers
New Holland was the first name given to mainland Australia, in 1644. Our New Holland art print brings together three Australian natives: protea, scarlet banksia (Banksia coccinea) and golden wattle, Australia's floral emblem. The warm pinks and golds make it a favourite for bedrooms and living rooms.
Land of the Rising Sun: Japanese flowers
Since the 7th century, Japan has been known as the "Land of the Rising Sun". The Land of the Rising Sun art print features chrysanthemum, carnation and wisteria.
Ilha de Vera Cruz: Brazilian flowers
Ilha de Vera Cruz was the first name given to Brazil, in 1500. The Ilha de Vera Cruz art print celebrates bromeliads, cymbidium orchids and alstroemerias.
Alkebulan: South African flowers
Alkebulan is an ancient name for Africa, often translated as "Mother of Mankind". The Alkebulan art print features montbretia, impala lily, bird of paradise and pincushion protea.
How our prints are made
Every print is A4 (210 x 297 mm), printed on 100% recycled 350gsm art paper, hand signed on the back and embossed. They are sent unframed and flat on a paper board, so they fit any standard A4 frame or an A3 frame with an A4 mount.
Styling tips
- Hang two prints one above the other for a narrow wall or above a bedside table.
- Group all four for a botanical gallery wall in a living room or hallway.
- Use a white mount and a light timber frame to keep the colours soft.
