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 Asia as well as recent travels, I specialise in creating 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.
