← Featured art: Festive Summer
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.
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.
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.
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.
