Serving the Cake by Libby Haines.
Last Drinks by Libby Haines.
Libby Haines
Melbourne artist Libby Haines original still-life paintings are hard to come by. She sells two works a week via Instagram to an instant influx of comments hoping be the winning buyer. But lucky for the rest of us, she also turns her coveted paintings of martinis, plates of pasta and dramatic dinner scenes into affordable prints, which you can buy with or without a frame.
Despite being translated from oil paintings on canvas to fine art paper, her works retain their magical, messy, and texture that make them so special.
Price range: $180 – $1070
Blue carafe on green checks, Dishwasher, Fresh rosemary on a plate on green by Sophie Sachs.
Sophie Sachs
Architect turned full-time artist Sophie Sachs paints everyday tableware and glasses with a wonderful sense of realism that also makes her prints pretty enchanting. They’re filled with gorgeous little details, like how water reflects light in a curved glass, or the dainty pattern of a porcelain plate. What’s not to love!
Price range: $75 – $340

Kangaroo by Jordy van den Nieuwendijk.
Jordy van den Nieuwendijk
We fell in love with the creative eye of artist Jordy van den Nieuwendijk ever since we featured his charming Fitzroy rental last year. Jordy is a Dutch artist now living in Melbourne, known for his commercial illustrations for big names like Apple, Jacquemus, and Rimowa. His distinctive playful style also carries over to his squiggly, sketchy, and colourful art prints!

Mollyby Bobby Clark.
Trotter, Lacoste by Bobby Clark.
Bobby Clark
Scottish-born, Melbourne-based artist Bobby Clark’s work is minimalistic, abstract, and intriguing. She’s mostly known for her meticulous paintings and prints featuring balanced and geometric shapes, but she’s recently worked with her husband and fellow artist Steven John Clark (founder of DenHolm) on a new series that layers her signature style in neon graffiti and drips of spray paint — including her current favourite, dubbed ‘Molly’.
