Neva Hosking Studio
Neva Hosking Studio exists to honour the natural world that inspires it — through drawing, printmaking, quiet care, and a life shared with wild things.
Spring/Summer 2026
This design is inspired by the vintage plant and garden books I discovered and inherited during my travels through the Far North. Within their pages, I found scribbled notes, pressed flowers, and delicate newspaper clippings—quiet whispers of the gardeners and plant lovers who came before me.
Made from 100% cotton, this tote carries that same spirit of connection wherever you go. Perfect for a picnic in the park, fresh veggies from the market or a visit to the library. The design is hand screen-printed with eco-friendly inks, and each print is lovingly hand-pulled in the studio, making every tote subtly unique.
For me, a butterfly collection isn’t made of pins and glass cases—it’s built from fleeting moments of wonder. A perfectly timed encounter, wings caught in sunlight, a memory carried home. This tote gathers some of the butterflies I’ve ‘collected’ across Australia: from the lush rainforests of Far North Queensland, to the snowy highlands of NSW, the misty Blue Mountains, and the sunny corners of my own humble backyard in Homebush.
Carry these delicate treasures with you on a 100% cotton tote, hand-printed with eco-friendly inks. Each print is hand-pulled by me, making every tote subtly unique.
Each illustration in this pack comes from my own walks through Australia’s forests, capturing the quiet joy of discovery. From the vibrant turkey tails of Far North Queensland, to the striking fly agaric of Belangalo, and the whimsical spinning tops of the Daintree, every mushroom and toadstool tells a story of place, season, and the fleeting magic of the bush.
Hand-drawn in black and white with a gloss finish, these illustrations highlight delicate forms, textures, and subtle contrasts. Perfect for journals, love notes, or display at home -not ideal for outdoor use. Each piece is an invitation to pause, notice, and delight in the hidden rhythms of the forest.

About the Artist
I was born in Western Australia and later moved to the east coast to study a Bachelor of Fine Arts, majoring in printmaking, at the National Art School in Sydney. My work is rooted in drawing and printmaking, shaped by a quiet attention to the natural world — its fragility, its fleeting joys, and its enduring beauty.
In 2022, I joined N. Smith Gallery in Surry Hills with my first solo exhibition, The Last Garden on Loftus Crescent, exploring the delicate, luminous world of the greenhouse. This was followed in 2025 by Behind the Wheel in Front of the Storm, inspired by my travels through the gardens and rainforests of Far North Queensland, capturing the delicate balance of beauty and melancholy that thrives there. Both bodies of work reflect an ongoing conversation with nature — a witness to its vulnerability and quiet resilience.
These landscapes, moments, and encounters continue to guide my studio practice, shaping a space that nurtures both my art and a home filled with foster and rescue animals. Beyond the studio, I hope this work ripples outward: supporting animal charities, environmental causes, and helping others rediscover the natural world that sustains us all. Each piece, each gesture, is an offering — a way of quietly observing, gently resisting, and bearing witness to the fragile, precious beauty that surrounds us.
