Coast & Wild

Fine art coastal themed prints studio / gallery by artist Noelle Pollington (@coastandwild) and designer Jon Jones (@the.map.merchant)

Coast & Wild are a husband and wife team creating stunning coastal themed fine art prints. These include an ever growing collection of seaweed prints created from seaweed which Noelle forages from local north Pembrokeshire beaches.

Once collected, they are washed and then pressed before being dried over a period of weeks. When dry, Jon digitises them so that they can be immortalised and used to produce their stunning range of seaweed art prints.

They are available framed or unframed at their studio in a range of sizes from A4 up and make wonderful conversation pieces as well as great holiday momentos.

Noelle and Jon also offer a bespoke service whereby their prints can be tailored to different sizes and printed on to a range of different materials.

Jon also produce a series of vintage map prints of the Pembrokeshire coast and further afield. He's also open to commissions covering other areas, and says that he has access to vintage maps covering pretty much the whole of the UK and Ireland - these can be created centered on a post code, wedding venue, street name or any other feature shown on the map.
