Few young illustrators have broken through the way Tara Royle has. A 22-year-old Australian illustrator based on the little island of Tasmania, Tara has already racked up the kind of recognition most artists wait decades for: featured on ABC's Portrait Artist of the Year in 2025, winner of the 2024 People's Choice at the Maldon Prize, and recognised as Emerging Artist at the 2022 Brisbane Portrait Prize. Yet she's also one of Inka Arthouse's most-loved artists thanks to a tight, joyful collection of pastel animal wall art prints that turn frogs, ducks, dogs and cats into characters you genuinely want to live with.
At Inka Arthouse, we're proud to stock a curated selection of Tara Royle prints, featuring her two hero pieces Impatient Green Frog and Diva Duck, alongside her playful cowboy series, her beachside Out of Office, and her cheeky Red Wine and Smokin' Duck. Every Tara Royle print is reproduced on premium giclée paper from her original digital illustrations, available framed or unframed, ready to bring her gentle humour and pastel charm to your walls.
Tara's work is built on a simple but irresistible idea: animals with personality. She draws inspiration from the quiet beauty of everyday life, from her two beloved cats, and from the imagined inner lives of her characters. The result is a collection of cute, quirky and gently funny animal wall art prints that feel personal, witty and instantly likeable.
Impatient Green Frog is one of Tara's two most-loved pieces and the print that helped launch her name on the Inka Arthouse bestsellers list. A frog mid-eye-roll with an expression every reader will recognise, Impatient Green Frog turns a simple amphibian into a relatable mood. It works beautifully in kids' rooms, bathrooms, kitchens and home offices, anywhere you want a print that makes you smile every time you walk past it.
Diva Duck is the other hero of Tara's collection and a customer favourite for good reason. With her glamorous posture and unmistakable attitude, Diva Duck is the print equivalent of a wink. Hang her in a bathroom, powder room, dressing room or kitchen for an instant lift, or pair her with Smokin' Duck for a two-piece duck moment that quietly steals the show.
Tara's cowboy series, Black Cowboy Dog, Cool It Cowboy and Cowboy Cat, taps into the playful cowboycore aesthetic with her signature pastel touch. Each print pairs a small, serious-looking animal with a cowboy hat and a deadpan expression, perfect for kids' bedrooms, nurseries, hallway galleries and anywhere you want gentle humour without losing visual polish. The three work especially well as a triptych above a bed, a play table or a long sideboard.
Out of Office is Tara's own favourite print from her Inka collection, a pup sun-baking on the beach with a cocktail in hand, the ideal ultimate-relax holiday rendered in soft pastels. It's an obvious choice for bathrooms, beach houses, holiday homes and bedrooms with a sense of calm. Red Wine, meanwhile, brings the same warm humour into dining rooms, home bars and kitchens, perfect for wine lovers and anyone who appreciates art that doesn't take itself too seriously.
What makes Tara Royle wall art so versatile is that her work occupies a rare middle ground: serious enough to be art, playful enough to live anywhere. Her pastel palette, clean digital compositions and humorous character work suit a much wider range of spaces than most illustrators' work does.
In bathrooms, Diva Duck, Out of Office and Impatient Green Frog are showstoppers, water-themed prints that bring warmth and humour to a space most people forget to style. In kids' rooms and nurseries, her cowboy series and animal prints create joyful, calming spaces children genuinely love. In home offices, Impatient Green Frog delivers the exact mood most of us need on a Monday morning, while Out of Office is a quietly aspirational reminder of why we work in the first place. In kitchens and dining rooms, Red Wine and Smokin' Duck add personality without overwhelming the room.
Tara comes from a family of artists, her mother Sharyn Bursic is a globally-sold naïve and impressionist painter, and that artistic lineage shows in the considered composition of every Tara Royle print. For a layered, joyful gallery wall, pair her work with our broader animal wall art collection or with upcoming artists like Salty Biche Studio and Kartika Paramita for a contemporary, character-rich moment. You can also read our full interview with Tara to hear more about her process, her family and the everyday inspirations behind her work.
