INDIES LANDING is an online shop rooted in a deep family love of British Colonial and Island Colonial living — a style shaped by generations of family life on islands and boats throughout the Caribbean, where beautiful living meant layered natural materials alongside treasured finer things.
My mother, sister, and I operated a beloved antique, vintage, and interior design shop on Park Avenue in Winter Park, Florida for over twenty years. We were featured in many publications, including Victoria Magazine in 1991.
The items in this shop have been collected and curated over more than 60 years. Some pieces come with rich provenance; others were simply irresistible. If it spoke to us, we brought it home — and it always felt right at home.
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
All art offered in Shop at Indies Landing was created by Anne Yates Burst (1933–2023), painted throughout the 2010s.
Since her first kindergarten art project, Anne was immersed in art in all its forms. Her Fine Arts & Art History degree from Florida State University — where she studied under German-American Impressionist Karl Zerbe — launched a lifelong creative practice. Her paintings found their way into galleries and private collections across the country.
A fourth-generation Key West "Conch," Anne wrote and published a novel set in her island hometown: The View from the Widow's Walk. She was principal designer of INDIES LANDING's Winter Park studio for twenty years, and regularly wrote about and photographed antiques, interiors, and architecture for magazines and newspapers.
Among her later commissions: two large paintings — Seminole and Miccosukee — and an elevator mural for a Park Avenue office lobby, all celebrating Florida's indigenous heritage. Anne preferred large-scale abstract work in luminous color, sometimes incorporating found objects and touches of wit.
Her art is offered here with great love.
