PREORDER Merry Everything - Everyday Unframed Square Print
- Category: New Release, Shop Everyday Prints
Here is my festive floral tribute to our best summer ever. A year-round reminder to have merry moments every day. Why do we save ‘merry’ for one short part of the year? The end of the year shouldn’t have the monopoly on joy. Christmas is not the only time that your home should be colourful and bright.
Let’s remember to create moments of merry-ness year ‘round with this can’t-help-but-feel-the-joy piece.
”Merry Everything is really a work about our unruly, joyful, charming and chaotic home: wild and wonderful in equal measure.
Our pre-war home with its scuffed timber floors and creaks and chips and marks tells the story of 130 years of lives well lived near the sea. Juxtaposed against our young children - all fresh and new and bursting with exuberant life, I like to think of the stark contrast…even if we added up all our individual ages we don’t have the life experience of this house.
Steady, solid, humble, holm-ly.
This piece is made up of 3 previous works painted over and over on the same canvas. I like to think it is the story of our beautiful boys - all cuddly contentment and causing havoc. The story of our marriage, too - colourful and vibrant and dark at times in the background but always, always, connected and lately? In bloom all over again.
A painting that ties the relative newness yet vast experience of us to the joy and wisdom and delight of generations past.
Despite the noise and haste, these complex layers of our lives paint the story of us. Of joy. Of hope. And many merry everydays to come.
I hope you feel your family and everything that is meaningful to you is painted into this piece, too…with so many layers - this piece feels like the embodiment of our interconnectedness and the meaning we find in the love we have for those that touch our lives the most.”

Artwork information
Fine art reproductions (prints) are printed on the very best archival cotton rag or archival stretched canvas as chosen by you by a small family firm in Brisbane. All of my cotton paper prints are inclusive of a 1cm white border and fit straight into standard frames or are easily custom-framed without losing any of the image, and the stretched canvas prints and originals can be put straight on the wall as they are ready to hang.
Our canvas prints come with a mirrored edge for a wrapped look or a plain edge if the background colour of the artwork is a block colour.
As with all new arrivals, we’d love to see you celebrate it properly. We suggest popping some champagne and taking a picture once it’s hanging on your wall.
We’d love to see your celebrations. You can tag us on Instagram @thenewdevine or send your snaps to us by replying to your order email.
Our favourite store-bought frames can be found on framing guide, and more framing information can be found on our FAQ page. Or, as with any question, please feel free to get in touch so we can help you perfect a room with your new art.
Shipping - We post on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Australian Standard Shipping is Free or you can choose express for $10. International flat rate shipping is $25. We post most orders on the following Tuesday or Friday, however there are some exceptions:
A1 and A0 artworks are printed to order as are all stretched canvas artworks. Please allow an extra 5-10 business days for printing in addition to standard Australia Post delivery estimates. We often have things ready MUCH sooner but sometimes, our printer is overwhelmed with our orders so please be patient if your new art takes a little longer to arrive. We promise it will be worth it.
Original Artworks: We very carefully varnish originals and pack them incredibly well once they are sold. Seamus is in charge of all of that and he’s meticulous - he used to work on gas rigs so when it comes to safety and attention to detail? He doesn’t compromise. It can sometimes take him a whole day to pack an original depending on the size with his unique system so you can imagine if we sell a couple of originals all at once he gets very busy! An extra couple of days for careful packing is absolutely worth it for a safe delivery of your art, though. Expect a week or so between ordering your original and it being posted. I promise it will be worth it.
Copyright and reproductions
Purchase of any The New Devine original artwork or art product (including reproductions) does not entitle the purchaser to make further copies—the copyright remains with the artist.
Framing
Please note all prints are sold unframed.
Images above are examples only and have been included to give you a squiz at how beautiful the work looks when framed.
We produce our prints to fit standard store-bought frames but we do recommend professional framing to improve the longevity and quality of your piece.
