Collector stories

Where our prints live now

Every print we've sold has its own numbered certificate. We asked our early collectors where theirs hang.

  • Wanda Wonder print hanging above a driftwood console in a collector's home in Nelson Bay
    I had just bought in Nelson Bay and had a specific spot that I wanted an ocean print, and yours spoke to me when I saw it.

    Beverley · Nelson Bay, NSW

    Bought at our January 2020 bushfire charity auction for the NSW Rural Fire Service.

  • South Cronulla Sunrise print hanging above a bed in a collector's first home in South Cronulla
    I spend many mornings walking the Esplanade taking photos of the sunrise. I thought it was fitting having an image in the opposite direction!

    Nicole · South Cronulla, NSW

    Bought with her first unit in South Cronulla.

  • North Cronulla Wall canvas print hanging in a school's Performing Arts office
    This was my departing gift, but as I may return one day, I still have a special connection to it.

    Tom · Sydney

    Five years in his apartment, then a gift to the school where he taught music.
