Their Inspiration: “As kids we were brought up in a home surrounded by botanical artwork on the walls, which our mom collected over years. From fish, flowers, birds & fauna to Exotic tapestry wall hangings, you name it. This is definitely where our inspiration came from.” Soil&Co

The Soil&Co Original Collections of prints featured in our store and online were created though callage art or hand illustration. The Wonderland Collection celebrates the Revival of the art of the amazing artists that are no longer with us. High-res Images selected & cleaned up by us to create collections with matching cream or black backgrounds. Prints come in sizes A4-A1. Printed on art paper.
