These illustrations were created between 2022 (the square shape illustrations) and 2019 ( portrait style). They eventually became Winter greeting cards. Some are available as prints.
I wanted to draw the attention of the viewer to the beauty, silence and magic in nature during winter. But also to it’s fragility, especially in this time we find ourselves in. Each illustration was accompanied by a text which made it’s way on to the back of the greeting card. The text was, in some way, as important as the illustration and the words came before the images.
Themes included low impact fishing communities, Wren Boys which is an ancient Irish tradition that connect rural communities, the connectivity within a woodland, migratory birds and reverence for nature.
