Important Update for my U.S. customers
From Aug 29th, new U.S. customs rules mean all parcels from outside the U.S. may face duties/taxes on arrival.
What this means:
-
Your order will still arrive safely with DHL.
-
You may be asked to pay a small customs fee before delivery.
-
I’m also looking into covering these fees upfront in the future (so no surprises at the door).
Thank you so much for your patience + support through these changes 💕 Your love for my art keeps me going, and I’ll keep doing my best to make shipping smooth for you!
The good news: I only ship with DHL Express, so instead of scary flat fees ($80–200), DHL charges a much smaller % based on your order’s value.
These pieces were originally painted by Shannon Quarmby, our talented in-house artist, and are now available as high-quality giclée prints.

OUR STORY
In 2022, The Flora Collection was started with the simple goal of creating art for everyone to enjoy, and to make art more accessible for the masses.
All artworks were created by our in-house artist, Shannon Quarmby, whose passion and love for creating is reflected in every piece of work.
As we continue to grow and evolve, our mission remains unchanged: to celebrate the beauty of art and to share it with the world in ways that resonate with people from all walks of life. Through exhibitions, workshops, and online galleries, we strive to make art not just a luxury, but a fundamental part of everyday life.
As The Flora Collection flourishes, our commitment to fostering creativity and community will remain. We believe that art has the power to break boundaries and unite people from diverse backgrounds, sparking conversations, igniting imaginations, and nurturing a shared appreciation for beauty in all its forms. With each new piece added to our collection, we invite you to embark on a journey of discovery, where every brushstroke tells a story and every canvas becomes a window to the soul. Together, let us continue to celebrate the wonder of artistic expression and cultivate a world where art thrives and enriches the lives of all who encounter it.
A NOTE FROM THE ARTIST
I have always heard people say: "I want to be wealthy. I want to be successful. I want to be established." but never have I heard someone say: "I want to be relaxed." In this fast paced world, relaxation and peace has taken a major step back in most people's lives. Through my art, I am aiming to challenge this stressful lifestyle by creating pieces that bring about a sense of calm, peace and nostalgia. I am a firm believer that we need to embrace complex human emotions, that they make us who we are. By viewing my work, my hope is that my audience will be able to bridge the gap between those emotions and the nostalgic memories that helped shape them.
Based in Empangeni, KZN, The Flora Collection has just started setting down it's roots. The goal is to eventually turn The Flora Collection into a community where art lovers can come together, whether they are creators or connoisseurs.
You will find two major disciplines withing my art: watercolour and oil. It has been difficult to choose between the two and this is why I created my two main collections: The Aquarelle Collection and The Atelier Collection.
The Aquarelle Collection focuses on realistic watercolour paintings. This collection is created to reflect the beauty of the natural world, to bring about a sense of relaxation and calmness.
The Atelier Collection focuses on oil paintings that explore fantasy and Realism. These pieces are created for the art collector and delve into feelings of nostalgia and peace.
Mostly, though, I have created my pieces for you to enjoy and it is my hope that when you look at my art, that you allow yourself to feel something.
Love,
Shannon Quarmby
