Acrylic on ancient maire | Resin finish | 95 x 65 mm
Part of the Maire and Messenger series

Delicate yet bold, the monarch butterfly rests with open wings against the rich, swirling grain of ancient maire. Painted in vibrant orange and black, the butterfly becomes a symbol of transformation, migration, and memory. Its fleeting presence a quiet messenger of change.

A fine white thread winds through the composition, an ongoing motif in the Maire and Messenger series, representing unseen connections and gentle guidance.

This piece is sealed in a glossy resin finish that brings out the depth and natural beauty of the timber. A small but vibrant piece, created to honour the stories that flutter softly through the ever-changing spaces we inhabit.
