SNOWDROP BALLET

Galanthus nivalis – ‘Milk flower of the snow’

 A flurry of snow-white dancers visited by a solitary bee, the prima ballerina of the winter show. This piece has been inspired by snowdrops at the woodland edge

 I created the original artwork using local, natural and sustainable raw materials wherever possible. These include Stanton Drew oak bark; ochres found in the Mendip hills and mud from the Chew Valley. 

The paper that I use for my originals is Saunders Waterford paper which is a fine quality water colour paper made at St Cuthbert’s Mill in Wells and whenever possible I use Coates Willow charcoal made in the Somerset Levels.

The provenance of the materials that I use and the subject that inspires it is central to my work.

Declines in the health and population of pollinators pose what could be a significant threat to biodiversity. To underline just how precious pollinators are, I have applied gold leaf to the bee in the original artwork and the limited edition prints.
