An island remembered can become part of an everyday room. Olivia Serrill’s San Juan Island artwork gives a meaningful destination a place on the wall, where its map-based subject can invite a closer look. Explore our art collection for work that carries a sense of place into a home without needing a travel theme.

- Artwork by Portland artist Olivia Serrill.

- A geographic subject presented as wall art.
Styling Tips
Choose a position where you can see the work both from across the room and at arm’s length. A long hallway or a wall beside a reading chair can make that possible. If it joins a gallery wall, leave consistent gaps and avoid placing another equally detailed image immediately against its edge.
The island subject can work with relaxed pieces from our living room furniture, especially where wood and woven textures already bring a natural note. Keep nearby accessories simple rather than building a literal nautical display. On a console below, one object from our home decor assortment can echo a tone in the artwork while a different shape creates contrast. Take a step back after arranging the group; the work should still have a clear outline and a little breathing room.
Care
- Display away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity to help protect the image.
- Handle by the outer edges or the frame, if fitted, keeping fingers off the image surface.
- Remove dust gently from the frame or exterior; never spray cleaner directly onto artwork.
- Use hanging hardware suited to the artwork’s actual weight and the wall construction.
- Do not let a chair back, opening door, or nearby object rub against the artwork.
