Butterflies...is there anything that captures all the 'feels' of summer and nature more perfectly? I wish I could offer a more profound or symbolic reflection, but the truth is, sometimes, I paint subjects purely because I find them captivating.
 
I have vivid memories of my father pointing out different butterfly species as a child; perhaps that’s where my fascination began? To this day, butterflies continue to enchant me for their delicate form, vibrant colour and sense of fleeting freedom. This ‘British Butterflies’ collection therefore begins with three 'mini originals' on 24 carat gold-gilded box canvas. Each original piece is encased in its own deep-edge black frame, making them feel as special as the look.

Original.
Mini box canvas (14x14cm) mounted in a deep edge box frame with acrylic ‘glass’ (27x27cm)

As with most of my work, each piece features my trademark textured gilding for a contemporary edge, providing the uplifting feeling of light into your home.
