Wall art & stationery connecting
you with places & nature

Paper Birch is a specialised wall art and stationery goods brand based in the UK, founded in 2016 by Graphic Designer Krystal Fanning. She develops original collections, inspired by her Cornish surroundings and places of natural beauty across the world.

cyanotype wall art and stationery, wall art prints designed in Cornwall

 

Sub-tropical valleys & wild beaches

Our inspiration is deeply rooted in Cornwall’s many sub-tropical gardens and breathtaking coastline. It's here that our designs for our wall art and stationery collections often take shape, whilst out on a walk collecting flora and seaweed.

 

Stepping into the blue

We think the 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.
