Malayan Water Monitor Lizard

A celebration of Singapore’s remarkable wildlife, brought to life through the artistic vision of Rachel Barkess in collaboration with House of Wild. Through hand-painted watercolours, the collection honours the island’s natural heritage and the importance of preserving it for generations to come.

A familiar sight at Singapore Botanic Gardens, the Malayan Water Monitor is a fascinating presence in the island’s lush green spaces. Its young often shelter unseen within the hollows of large tree trunks, hidden from passing visitors. In this illustration, Rachel Barkess beautifully captures the strength and intricate details of this ancestral species, celebrating the remarkable wildlife that thrives alongside Singapore’s vibrant city.

Designed to complement a range of interiors, the artworks can be displayed individually or brought together to create a distinctive gallery wall. Available in a variety of formats and printed on museum-grade paper, each piece combines artistic craftsmanship with lasting quality.

A portion of proceeds supports wildlife conservation projects in Singapore, helping protect the natural heritage that inspires the collection.

Whether chosen as a thoughtful gift, a lasting memento of the island or a statement piece in the home, Singapore’s Iconic Wildlife is an invitation to discover, display and celebrate the wild.
