Reinvigorate your
sense of wonder and mystery
Rabbit Hill Studio was founded in 2020 by a husband and wife duo. They had the vision to create something that would capture the imagination of visitors and those passing by. From the moment you approach the property you will be caught by the mystery of the unknown and fantastical. From the large circular window to the strange hexagonal shape of the house to the cathedral like studio you will be asking yourself, what exactly happens here. At the very essence of their vision is the idea that art can reinvigorate our sense of wonder and mystery. That it taps into our souls and connects us to something bigger than ourselves. It is our hope that everything that happens at Rabbit Hill does the same.
Meet the Duo
