An iconic The New Devine, we are releasing a limited edition of just 50 prints of this piece.
Written in the Stars. Every night, my beautiful boys ask each other ‘what was your favourite part of the day?’ Well, Clancy just asks, ‘what was your part of the day?’ …and I almost like that more. What part did you play in your day? Active of passive? Who did you make smile? Who were you kind to? Those seem like the poignant questions we should be asking of ourselves.
Today, as my children shovelled fish fingers and garlic bread and broccoli (I know, I’m winning an award for mum-chef of the year with that combination 😂) I thought about how my favourite part of the day was getting a text message from Seamus to say he was awake post-op and could come home. My favourite part of the day was Clancy and Shiloh both running for me at kindy pick up and clinging to me with so much glee and love and surprised delight. (Seamus usually does the pick ups but can’t drive today.)
My favourite part of the day was also taking Sacha to school. He LOVES school and has missed it over the holidays. I love that he loves it so much. It seems to me it was really that my favourite part of the day was my family. Like every day, really, but today seemed more vivid than most.
A bit like this piece. Written in the Stars. You know, when we started this business we called it The New Devine because at the time? I was the newest member of the Devine family. It had taken us 7 years to get Sacha and we thought he was our one miracle baby and that more babies weren’t in our story. I guess though that this beautiful little family was written in the stars all along though…and I wonder. What other amazing things are written in the stars for all of us?
This piece is all about the promise of good things to come.

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.
