Wall Art For the Sentimental Soul
Recommended: Hands of Time Collection
This person tears up at a good story and keeps their Nan’s apron in a memory box. They value heritage, family, and the quiet beauty of simple moments.
Why They’ll Love It:
The Hands of Time collection honors the older generation—the bread bakers, fishers, quilters, and caretakers who built our homes and our hearts. It’s not just wall art. It’s a conversation piece, a tribute, and a memory.
Perfect for: Parents, grandparents, caregivers, or anyone with strong family roots.
Wall Art For the Dreamer & Nature Lover
Recommended: Northern Lights Collection
They’re the one who loves starry skies, soft tones, and quiet nights by the sea. Always lost in a book, a daydream, or a cozy blanket.
Why They’ll Love It:
Our Northern Lights pieces blend wildlife with the surreal glow of the aurora borealis. From arctic foxes to humpback whales, this collection adds peace, wonder, and color to any room.
Perfect for: Nature lovers, introverts, spiritual types, and lovers of cozy aesthetics.
Wall Art For the Whimsical & Fun-Loving
Recommended: Puffins in Toques or Puffins in Hoodies
This person doesn’t take life too seriously. They’re warm, quirky, and always good for a laugh. Their home is full of color, personality, and probably a few puffin knickknacks already.
Why They’ll Love It:
Our Puffins in Toques and Puffins in Hoodies bring Newfoundland charm with a twist—decked out in cozy toques or casual hoodies. They’re perfect for brightening up kitchens, hallways, bathrooms, or kids' rooms.
Perfect for: Teachers, fun-loving friends, puffin fans, and anyone who could use a daily smile.
Wall Art For the Traditionalist
Recommended: Scenery or Lighthouse Collection
You know the type—they love a classic. They keep their home neat, prefer timeless over trendy, and always have a pot of tea ready for company.
Why They’ll Love It:
Newfoundland's landscapes are breathtakingly timeless, and we tried to capture that in our Lighthouses collection. Lighthouses standing tall on craggy cliffs, ocean waves hitting rocky shores—these prints bring peace, pride, and a touch of the East Coast into any home.
Perfect for: Grandparents, aunts, uncles, new homeowners, or anyone who misses “the Rock.”
Wall Art For the Moody & Mysterious
Recommended: Moose in the Mist or Abstract Collection
This is your deep thinker. The one who loves foggy days, dramatic scenery, and a cozy, candlelit vibe. Their style is probably a mix of earthy tones, natural textures, and just a bit witchy.
Why They’ll Love It:
The Moose in the Mist and Abstract collections feature bold textures and moody color palettes—perfect for adding drama to minimalist or modern spaces.
Perfect for: Artists, writers, introverts, or that friend who always buys the black version of everything.
Wall Art For the Professional with Style
Recommended: Acrylic Prints from Any Collection
This person works hard and lives for sleek design. Their home or office is clean, modern, and put together with intention. They value both beauty and quality.
Why They’ll Love It:
Acrylic prints offer vibrant, high-gloss visuals that pop on a wall. Choose a scenic piece, a minimalist puffin, or a dramatic landscape that doubles as motivation and decor.
Perfect for: Coworkers, clients, real estate agents, remote workers, or that friend who just redid their office.
Wall Art For the Homesick Newfoundlander
Recommended: Literally Anything from Driftwood Creations NL
They’ve left the island, but it’s never left them. They get excited when they hear a Newfoundland accent at the grocery store and hang a wooden codfish in the kitchen.

Every piece we create is steeped in Newfoundland culture—whether it’s puffins in toques or prints that echo the North Atlantic coastline. It’s a beautiful way to keep home close, no matter where they live.
