Coral Sea Art Print

'Coral Sea' limited edition art print is a cheery print. The sun shines through the water. While the shapes are juxtaposed, the colours are very balanced. The hot pink colour on the bottom right together with the organic shape above it are an equal match to the weight of the sun shape on the left. While the aim here is to obtain a balance in colour and form, the goal is to show complexity and overlapping forms but also a calmness through colour and flowing lines. Our 8 year old says, 'it's cool'. He sees a King, stars and a face. He likes it. This fine art print like all of our prints is sold as unframed. This comes in 2 large sizes to brighten up any living environment or to compliment any space for home or office. Both 70cm x 70cm and 120cm x 120cm. 'Coral Sea' can be purchased from our Printspace™ web shop.

Sculpture Park

This piece by Mara Girling is called 'Sculpture Park' While it is an abstract art print, the name provides the context. Our youngest son says "It looks like a big jumble of shapes. It is very, very colourful". And you know what  - that's accurate enough. This big jumble does suggest a scale. To some, that scale might be big and to others small or even microscopic. While we are always inspired by Mid 20th Century art and design for it's modern influences, the primary inspiration was simple organic sculptures. We hope you like it. I think the natural progression from this print is a piece which will have a sense of imbalance - a dynamic looking piece to compliment this art. But as a stand-alone piece, this will work well in a modern space or a space you want to look contemporary. Bigger is better when it comes to simple shapes and textures. This is why this is offered in 2 sizes.
Available in our Printspace™web shop 'Sculpture Park'. 70 x 70cm and 120cm x 120cm.

Japanese Fish Prints

 Nick created these lovely Japanese inspired art prints about 6 months ago, and recently it seems that people have discovered them! Sometimes things just need to grow on you. We recently had a customer order 2 of them on the 50x70cm size, and the colours looked beautiful. It's so wonderful to see customers selections and what they put together.

See them on our web site.

many shades of pink...

Now, I am not usually a fan of this colour, but lately I have found myself being drawn to the softer shade of pink. PINK. I can't even believe I said it. I really have never been a fan. Ever. But now here I am looking at pink shoes. Really? I know pink comes in many shades, and yes there are many of those shades that I dislike with a passion. You know that scary bright pink that some kids brands think is the only colour a little girl will were. But I have come to see that you can never say never!!!

A little pattern to celebrate Wednesday. No reason, just felt like using these colours. And I am avoiding the work I should be doing, oops. x

Up In The Air

I have been juggling between new prints and a greeting card range and somehow slowly getting stuff done. The greeting cards will be finished this week - and then off to print they go, which is so very exciting! They are getting printed by someone other than me, as they will now be printed using 100% recycled paper and vegetable based inks. So onward with our eco friendliness.

And above is another new print, for sale soon. I am going to up load them all together, it's just that they do work as sets and will make better sense as a whole range, rather than in bit and bobs.
