Description
A vibrant print of a tree filled with birds and song, 'The Sound of Sunshine' by Fiona Watson. This fine art-quality print on 210gsm acid-free archival paper is framed in obeche wood in a choice of finishes. The acrylic glaze is light in weight and optically the same as glass. Ready to hang on your wall, it's made in the UK in an exclusive size for John Lewis & Partners. The patterns, rhythms, forms and colours of nature in a microscopic and macroscopic sense have always fascinated Fiona Watson. This initially led her to study Biological Sciences at Leicester University. After several years of working for various medical journals, she eventually studied printmaking at the Glasgow Print Studio. Etching copper and steel plates with acid turned out to be the perfect blend of science and art. As a complete contrast and foil to messy printmaking, she also works extensively in digital printmaking. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?

Our Stylist Says
I love the bright, uplifting vibe of the Fiona Watson print - it’s perfect for adding a cheerful splash of colour to any space. Its vibrant yellow background makes it ideal for contemporary or eclectic interiors, especially when paired with neutral furnishings to let the artwork really pop. It works well in living rooms or bedrooms, where it can serve as a focal point, but it can also bring a joyful touch to kitchens or home offices. Practical styling tips include framing it with simple white or light wood surrounds to keep the look fresh and uncluttered. For a cohesive look, consider pairing it with other colourful accents or botanical-inspired accessories to bring out the playful, sunny feel.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
