These works are hand printed on beautiful Ho Sho Japan paper in oil based black ink. Each one is a unique piece of art, they are printed by hand so there will be slight variations in the texture and depth of print. This is the charm as no two are the same.
Initially I started these art works for the joy of drawing the glorious shapes of the female body. Each lady evoked a feeling in me and somehow, I could imagine these scenes around them, with botanical shapes and wild creatures. The plants and foliage in the pieces are taken from drawings made whilst on my travels in California.
I love the idea that there is a spirit in all of us that could take on an animal form. I can really relate to that feeling of enjoying your strengths but also knowing that sometimes they can be a hindrance. I find these pieces to convey both empowerment and vulnerability.
They are a limited edition of 20 – each one signed and numbered.
