Known as the most popular online art retailer in the country, this year Bluethumb Art Gallery has launched Print On Demand – a new service that allows customers to take home a high-quality stretch canvas print of their favourite original artworks.

The new service means customers no longer have to miss out when their favourite original artwork is snapped up by another buyer. Created in partnership with VistaPrint, the Print On Demand service offers customers four different size options, giving home decorators the flexibility to select an art print that suits the size of their space.

To celebrate the launch, buyers can shop an exclusive 'Market Print' series celebrating Australia's most iconic local food and flower markets.

Featuring still life-style scenes from markets such as Sydney's iconic Carriageworks Farmers Market, Melbourne's Prahran Market, Tasmania's Farm Gate Market and Adelaide's Central Market, the Market Print series includes ten limited prints based on original paintings by ten of Bluethumb's most talented emerging Australian artists.

"Fresh food and flower markets are the backdrops to so many of life's simple pleasures. We think there's no better way to celebrate the launch of our print offering than by paying homage to the vibrant communities, local pride and beautiful moments found at market stalls around the country," said Bluethumb's co-founder and co-chief executive officer George Hartley.

One of the talented artists involved in the project was proud Aboriginal woman and artist Kelilah Taylor-Ware. For this project Ware painted a beautiful interpretation of the Adelaide Central Market in her signature dot painting style.

Ware said her art strives to tell the story of her family and the journeys they took together.

"I'm an Aboriginal artist from Ceduna, South Australia, and my dot paintings reflect my cultural heritage. I was born in Port Augusta but grew up in Ceduna, drawing inspiration from my great-grandmother, Millie Taylor, and my mum, Kelly Taylor," she said.

"My art tells the stories of my family's journeys across the land, showing traditional hunting and gathering practices.I'm part of KT Aboriginal Fine Art, a family-run business showcasing three generations of artists—my mum, my sister T'keyah, and me. Our gallery is online based, where we create and share our art with people from all over.

"Each piece we make carries cultural meaning, telling stories of Country, family, and tradition. My unique style of dot painting uses lines and waves to create eye-catching effects, and through my art, I love sharing our cultural stories and keeping them alive for future generations. My family has also collaborated with a variety of companies, blending our unique art with different industries to share our culture and creativity with a wider audience."

Ware's work is deeply influenced by both her community and cultural heritage.

"My work is deeply rooted in my cultural heritage and the stories passed down through generations. Inspired by my great-grandmother, Millie Taylor, and my mother, Kelly Taylor, I use dot painting as a way to honour my ancestors and share the traditions of my people," she told Style Up.

"Through my art, I depict the journeys of my family across the land, illustrating traditional hunting and gathering practices, waterholes, and sacred sites.

"My unique style blends intricate dots with flowing lines and waves, creating a visual rhythm that represents the deep connection between people, Country, and spirit. Each piece tells a story—whether it's about the land's abundance, the importance of community, or the resilience of my culture.

"While my art is inspired by tradition, I also make it my own by adding modern touches. My goal is to keep our culture strong and share its beauty with others."

Ware notedthat this is not the first time she has collaborated with the gallery.

"My work with Bluethumb began when they invited me to create an artwork for their 'Small Pleasures' campaign, which celebrates simple luxuries. Inspired by my visits to Adelaide Central Market, I wanted to blend traditional Aboriginal techniques like dot painting and storytelling with modern themes. It was a chance to merge my cultural heritage with the present world in a way that resonates with people today," she said.

"Bluethumb reached out to me because they valued the unique perspective and cultural depth in my art. The goal was to create a piece that honors both the campaign's theme and my family's storytelling traditions. It's been an exciting journey, especially knowing that my artwork will be available as a print for others to enjoy and connect with."

Recogned as Australia's home for original art, with 20,000 active artists and over 20 of Australia's most remote Indigenous Art Centres - giving its customers access to more Australian artists and their art than anywhere else in the world - Ware being able to showcase her work on Bluethumb is an amazing achievement.

"Our mission is to make art more accessible to all Australians. "Our artworks have been 'favourited' more than three million times. For those who've missed out on their favourite works because they've sold or were otherwise out of their budget, our new Print On Demand service gives those customers a new option to bring those artworks into their homes," said Hartley.

To bring the Print On Demand service to life, Bluethumb has partnered with VistaPrint to ensure premium quality stretch canvas prints. VistaPrint chief executive officer Marcus Marchant says the partnership taps into a growing demand for more accessible and affordable ways for people to decorate their space.

"We are thrilled to partner with Bluethumb to bring high-quality art prints to a wider audience. By combining Bluethumb's extensive collection of artwork with our industry-leading printing expertise, we're making it easier than ever for people to transform and elevate their homes and workspaces with stunning gallery-quality prints," he said.

"Here at VistaPrint, we are passionate about supporting small businesses. This partnership will also open new doors for artists, offering them a sustainable path to success through passive income."

Print On Demand will offer customers a choice of four sizes: 30x40cm (Small); 40x60cm (Medium); 50x70cm (Large); 60x90cm (Extra Large). Pricing will be set by Bluethumb's artists, but customers can expect to pay between $299 for a small print, up to $635 for an extra large print. These prices include framing and delivery.
