Welcome to Van Vakarnee.
We started with wall art, but the idea behind the business was always bigger than selling prints. We’re here for the full creative loop: the moment you capture something, the process of turning it into something meaningful, and the final step of putting it on the wall where it belongs.
In plain terms, we’re a creative lifestyle brand built for people who make, collect, and care about art.
Our role is simple: we provide the art for the people who like a unique creative perspective on their wall, and the tools for the people who have their own.
Established in 2024, Van Vakarnee began with a simple idea: create photographs that feel like the places they were taken. Every image is captured across the Australian landscape, then produced as a high-quality print right here in Tasmania.
Keeping production local means we stay close to the work. It gives us hands-on control over quality, consistency, and finish, while also supporting the local community and expertise that help bring each piece to life.
From the beginning, our focus has been on detail: clean composition, accurate colour, sharp reproduction, and prints that hold their presence in a room for years. We create wall art for people who notice these things.
As the business grew, so did the mission. We realised we didn’t just want to share our own work. We wanted to support other people making theirs.
That’s why Van Vakarnee now includes a curated range of camera equipment and art supplies alongside our wall art and framing. It’s not a side project or a random add-on. It’s the natural evolution of what we already do.
Creativity rarely happens in one neat step. It’s a loop.
You capture something. You create something. You display something.
We built Van Vakarnee to support that whole process in one place.
Camera & Photography Supplies
Every creative process starts somewhere, and often it starts with a camera.
Whether you’re photographing landscapes, documenting ideas for later, or shooting reference images for painting and design work, reliable gear matters. We stock camera equipment, lenses, and accessories chosen for quality and performance, so you can focus on the image rather than fighting your tools.
Premium Art Supplies
Some ideas need to be made by hand.
We source art materials that are made to perform properly, from quality papers to paints and creative tools that hold up under real use. No cheap filler, no disappointing finishes. Just solid materials for people who care about the result.
Wall Art, Prints & Framing
This is where it all comes together.
Our wall art collection is built from original photography captured across Australia, with a strong connection to Tasmania’s coastlines, textures, and changing light. We also offer prints, canvases, and framing options designed to help you display work beautifully, whether it’s ours or your own.
Because good art deserves better than sitting in a folder or a drawer.
Our photographic collection comes from real locations, real light, and time spent in the landscape. We photograph across Australia, with a deep connection to Tasmania and its rugged coastlines, changing weather, and detail-rich environments.
Every photograph is chosen for atmosphere, composition, and longevity, not passing trends.
Our wall art prints and canvas products are produced locally in Tasmania. That gives us direct oversight of quality across each order, from sharp detail to colour accuracy and finish.
It also means your purchase supports Australian production and local skill.
We use professional printing processes designed for high-end reproduction, with a focus on clean blacks, smooth gradients, and true-to-life colour.
Whether you choose a photographic print or a canvas, the goal is the same: a finished piece that feels considered, premium, and ready for your space.
Van Vakarnee offers a mix of original photography, wall art, and selected licensed artwork.
Our photographic prints are created from photographs owned by Van Vakarnee, with a focus on Australian landscapes, natural textures, and places with a strong connection to Tasmania.
Some non-photographic artwork or design-based products may use artwork licensed from third-party artists, designers, suppliers, or content providers.
Whether created by us or licensed from others, each product is selected to suit the Van Vakarnee style and printed or prepared with care.
By bringing camera gear and art supplies into the same shop, we create a bridge between admiring art and making it.
We stock tools and materials we trust ourselves, with a focus on durability, performance, and practical value, so you can create with confidence.
Van Vakarnee is a small business, and we like it that way.
We care about the experience as much as the product. Whether you need help choosing print sizing, selecting the right lens, or finding the right paper for your work, we’re here to help with real advice and personal service.
Every order is prepared with care, because our name is on it.
Van Vakarnee is for people who care about what they put on their walls and how they make what goes on them.
It’s for the photographers, the painters, the sketchbook obsessives, the people rearranging frames at 10pm, and anyone who knows that a space feels better when it reflects something real.
Have a look around, get what you need, and go make something worth looking at.
