Wall art connecting you

Sub-tropical valleys & wild coastline

Our inspiration is deeply rooted in Cornwall’s many sub-tropical gardens and rugged, ever changing coastline. It's within these environments that designs for our wall art and stationery collections take shape.

 

Stepping into the blue

The creative process is just as important as the end product, with many of our printed designs starting life as cyanotypes, a photographic printing technique first discovered by Sir John Herschel in 1841. Collections of plant life from gardens and the shoreline are used to create intense indigo silhouette impressions, capturing their unique detail and form.
