Collect. What. Connects.

You don’t need to know everything about art to know when something speaks to you.

Maybe it’s the colour. The subject. A memory it brings back. Or simply that feeling that makes you stop and look again. That’s what makes choosing original art so personal.

Make. Your Space. Special.

A home becomes personal through the things we choose to surround ourselves with. An original artwork can transform an overlooked wall, bring life to a quiet corner, or become the piece that pulls an entire room together.

And choosing Australian-made art means that character comes with a creator behind it.

ART CAN BE MORE AFFORDABLE. 🎨

Sometimes the price of original art isn’t just about what the artist needs to earn. It can also reflect what it costs them to sell it.

Here’s a look at some Australian online art platform commissions: info as of August 2026.

• Bluethumb — 40% + GST = 44% for most artists
• Art Lovers Australia — 33% commission
• The Online Art Gallery — 25% + GST (The Online Art Gallery)
• The East Coast Arts Trail® — 5% + GST

Think about what that means.

If artists don’t have to surrender a quarter, a third or nearly half of a sale to the platform, there’s less pressure to build those costs into their pricing.

Lower platform fees can mean fairer returns for artists AND more accessible prices for buyers.

That’s the bit we think gets missed.

Supporting artists properly doesn’t have to mean making original Australian art more expensive. A fairer platform can work better for both sides of the sale.

More stays with the artist.
More art stays within reach.
More Australians can choose original.

✨ CREATORS WE LOVE — JENNIFER BAXTER ✨

There’s something rather wonderful about someone choosing creativity for their second act. ❤️

Today we’re celebrating Jennifer Baxter — Jenny Baxter — an Australian artist exploring painting, drawing, printmaking and wherever else that creative curiosity takes her.

And Jennifer’s collection on the trail shows exactly that sense of exploration.

From the movement and energy of Dancing in the Dark and All Around at the Picnic Grounds, to the quieter landscapes of Tasmanian Wild Country, Green Fields in the Mist and Cool Beginnings — there’s no need for everything to look the same. That’s rather the point.

Jennifer reminds us that an artistic life doesn’t have to begin at twenty, follow a straight line, or fit neatly into one style.

You can simply keep creating, experimenting and seeing where it takes you. 🎨

A couple of Jennifer’s works are currently 15% off too, so if one catches your eye, have a closer look.

Today, though, we’re simply delighted to celebrate the artist behind them.

Jennifer, we love having you on the trail. ❤️

Go and give Jennifer some love 👉 Jenny Baxter
