Herbs Malaya, Now on Paper. Limited Prints.

Translating my personal paintings into wearable art for the first time marks a proud creative milestone, successfully blending the soul of the original canvas with the precision of a silkscreened skirt.

What started quietly has turned into something quite special.

The opening in Penang was a real moment. Full, warm, and alive in the way you hope an exhibition will be. We were honoured to have Rebecca Owen with us, and endlessly grateful to Narelle McMurtry for opening her space and making this possible.

This exhibition is a return to something very simple. Looking closely. Really closely.
Herbs, often overlooked, suddenly become the centre of attention. Enlarged, reworked, and reassembled into something that feels both familiar and completely new.

From this body of work, we are releasing three limited edition fine art prints.

The largest, Buah Keras (candle nut), holds two flowers and anchors the collection.
Then Jintan Manis, more delicate, more intricate.
And finally, Daun Kari (curry leaf). Very grounded. Very honest. And quietly strong. One of our favourites.

Each print is available in A2, A3, and A4.
Framed and unframed options are available.

All prints are produced on Hahnemühle German Etching paper with deckled edges. A paper with weight, texture, and presence. It holds the work in the way it should be held.

We are keeping this tight.
Only eight prints per design.

This is not something we will repeat.

All works are currently visible in Penang, with a delivery time of approximately two weeks.

Alongside the exhibition, we took the team up for what became our “art weekend.”
A pottery class, long meals, too much laughter, and just enough chaos. The kind of time that reminds you why you do any of this in the first place.

The exhibition runs until the end of May.

If you are in Penang, go and see it.
If not, reach out. We’ll take you through it.
