There is a sacredness in the return. A quiet, hummed melody that calls us back to the parts of ourselves we left behind in the rush of becoming.
For Alexandra Blunn, our newest Artist in Residence at Few & Far, that melody began in the sun-drenched, rolling hills of Berry. It is a landscape that doesn’t just sit on the horizon; it breathes into her studio. It is the deciduous gold of Autumn leaves against a sharp, green paddock—a contrast that Alexandra has spent a lifetime observing, and now, a decade translating into a visual language of happiness.
But the journey to this collection, “Home,” wasn't a straight line. Like so many of us, Alexandra moved away from her initial spark to navigate the worlds of beauty therapy and energetic healing. She learned the language of the soul and the importance of the spaces we inhabit. Yet, it was the raw, transformative threshold of motherhood—that profound shift that redefines who we are—that finally demanded she pick up the brush again.
In the quiet, heavy shadows of postnatal anxiety, the canvas became more than a surface; it became a sanctuary. A place where the "outside noise" could finally be silenced by the rhythmic scrape of an oil stick and the fluid grace of acrylics. It was here, in the vulnerability of new life, that Alexandra found herself again.
"For me, painting is a meditative experience. I feel completely absorbed in the process, channeling positive energy into each and every piece. My hope is that the love I put into these canvases transcends the frame and elevates not just the visual aspect of your room, but the very feel of your space."
— Alexandra Blunn
We often overlook the magic that sits right in front of us. We look for beauty in the grand gestures, forgetting that life is actually lived in the steam rising from a morning coffee and the way it makes you feel when you wrap your hands around the warmth of your favourite cup. We forget the simple, cinematic way the Tuesday afternoon sunlight hits a bowl of fruit on the counter.
This collection is an invitation to look closer at the life you’ve created. Alexandra treats the "everyday"—a spotty jug sitting on a timber bench, a bowl of orchard-fresh pears, the rumpled corner of a picnic rug—with the appreciation of a masterpiece.
She challenges us to see the kitchen and the garden not as chores to be managed, but as the two beating hearts of a storied life. Through her eyes, “The Summer Picnic” isn't just a meal; it’s a celebration of frivolity and the deep, uncomplicated joy of friendship. “The Girls” isn't just a large-scale painting; it’s a tribute to the agrarian lifestyle and the invisible threads of support that bind women together in small, coastal communities. It’s a nod to the "little helpers" in the garden, capturing the quiet sounds of the paddocks as the sun sets.
What sets Alexandra’s work apart is the layer you cannot see, but you can certainly feel. Drawing on her history as an energetic healer, she treats her studio practice as a meditation. She doesn't just paint a scene; she feels it.
When she enters her studio, she isn't just picking up a brush; she is setting an intention. “I thrive on positive vibes in my studio,” she tells us, “and I consciously channel that energy into every piece.” The process is a tactile dialogue. She begins with a whisper of a colour or a memory of a shape—but quickly, the painting takes on a life of its own. Layers of acrylic form the soul, while finishing touches of oil stick and chalk pastel add the "perfectly imperfect" grit that mirrors the reality of a well-lived life. There is a beautiful tension in her work; a push and pull of texture and tone that results in a piece that doesn't just sit on a wall, but vibrates within the room.
Alexandra’s paintings kindly request to be felt. They carry the happy feelings of a Berry afternoon and the intentional healing of an artist who knows that a home's energy is its most valuable asset.
At Few & Far, we talk often about the Art of Staying in—the deliberate choice to slow down and surround ourselves with things that matter. Alexandra’s work is the ultimate expression of this. When you bring a piece from the “Home” collection into your space, you aren't just filling a space on a wall; you are inviting in a rhythm of movement, a touch of Berry magic, and a lasting sense of happiness.

Every piece in this collection is hand-framed in the soft, honeyed tones of Tasmanian Oak, sitting at the intersection of contemporary abstract and nostalgic comfort. Whether it’s the whimsical fun of “Spotty Jug and Star Bowl” or the quiet ripeness of “Pears in a Bowl,” these works are anchors for your sanctuary. They are designed to remind you that beauty isn't something you have to go out and find—it’s something you cultivate, right where you are.
Alexandra’s hope—and ours—is that these paintings find their "forever homes" with those who understand that a sanctuary isn't built overnight. It is layered over time with pieces that carry a story, a heartbeat, and a touch of pure magic.
“The Alexandra Blunn ‘Home’ collection launches March 2026.
We invite you to wander through her world, to find the piece that speaks to your soul, and to bring the pure, unhurried energy of Berry into your own sanctuary. May these works serve as a daily reminder that the most profound magic isn’t found in the distance—it’s already there, waiting for you, in the heart of your home.”
Drawing from years of experience in homewares and design, we celebrate conscious buying, artisanal craftsmanship, and are driven by the belief that every space should be a collection of pieces that tell stories from past and present and make ways for the narrative to continue in the future. Our mission is to inspire, guide, and help you weave a unique and meaningful story within your own walls.
