SOuth island art
Colour-popping art prints, paintings and homeware gifts to treasure
Create a home with a global look with travel-inspired decor
South Island Art specialises in evocative travel-inspired art of your cherished memories. Fuelled by a childhood spent living in different parts of Southeast Asia as well as recent travels, I create destination-inspired art. My pieces explore the connections between places and our most cherished memories along with the balance between man-made environments and nature.

"Got Rowana's Kew Garden - the colour scheme fits nicely in my place and creates a calming and cosy vibe. The quality of the printing itself, the ink and the paper used is great. Rowana is also very responsive throughout the whole buying process - highly recommended!"– Gillian, London, UK
"Lovely prints on the London coasters, and the quality is great - these coasters have a ceramic feel with cushioned underside. They will be in our home for a long time. Many thanks!"– Diane, London, UK
"Highly recommend! Since discovering Rowana’s beautiful art, I have already purchased a couple of prints to gift to friends who are delighted with them and a lovely tea towel to brighten up my kitchen. The colours are wonderfully vivid and bright on both paper and fabric. Clearly lots of care was taken even with the postage, items were carefully wrapped with a personal handwritten note. Thank you!"– Sarolta, London, UK
