About the artwork
Like the previous butterfly paintings the dragonfly is painted as though it were a living jigsaw which is disintegrating into the wind. The dragonfly symbolises life on earth, complex pieces of a puzzle created by nature that fit together harmoniously, but the jigsaw is fragmenting and as more pieces fly away the whole thing collapses. The fragile appearance of transparent dragonfly wings and the beautiful colours appealed to me in this context. This painting is sold without a frame. A photo of the back of another sold artwork illustrates how the painting is hung. A frame could be ordered for approx an extra £110, it would be a tray frame as illustrated, the size of the artwork with frame is approx 90cm x 74cm x 2.5cm, the artwork itself is 80 x 64cm. Please add a week to shipping times for framing.In Pieces - Dragonfly

I think of myself as a storyteller as much as an artist. My concerns for the environment are reflected in my surreal and symbolic paintings. At the same time I experiment with techniques in the form of abstracts. I trained for two years at foundation level, doing life drawing and print and then I began a degree at Exeter Art College.
