Description
With a range of trees as its subject and featuring an eye-catching, bold stretch of green, this delightful print is perfect for creating a sense of nature and the outdoors in a living space. This attractive artwork by Jacky Al-Samarraie is a digital print that comes presented in a black wooden frame. Jacky Al-Samarraie uses uncomplicated images, sourced from the British countryside, and adds graphic bright blocks of colour to create an eye-catching design. She developed this style during her degree and created The Art Room company in 2007. Her bold landscape images can now be seen on cards, mugs and prints. Al-Samarraie didn't start life as an artist, she originally pursued a career in Social Services. It wasn't until her children grew up that she went back to develop her creative skills; receiving a first honours degree in Graphic Media Communication from Bradford College of Art Design & Textiles.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Jacky Al-Samarraie armley print for its clean, minimalist aesthetic and monochrome palette, which makes it versatile across various interior styles. It works particularly well in modern, Scandinavian, or contemporary spaces, where its simple landscape can add visual interest without overwhelming the overall look. Practical styling tips include pairing it with neutral or textured accessories to create a calming focal point, or layering it with other black and white artworks for a curated gallery wall. Its sizeable dimensions also make it ideal for feature walls above a sofa or sideboard, bringing a touch of understated sophistication to any living room or hallway.

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.
