"Hermes"
“Hermes”
From the Artist:
Story behind the works:
'The William Morris collection stemmed from my love of patterns, in particular Persian carpets which patterns have been said to influence William Morris's work.
Many of us will connect with the patterns as we grew up seeing them among our homes and in recent centuries. William had mastered his work for designing wallpaper in the 1870's and became very popular.
This piece is named ''Hermes'' after the ancient Greek god. Hermes was a god of Luck, Fertility, animal husbandry, wealth, sleep, language and travel. He was one of the most mischievous and cleverest out of the 12 Olympian gods.
I think you will agree with me that the horses playful composition brings a sense of joy and energetic movement to the works and the name Hermes is quite fitting. The butterflies are to represent creativity and transformation.
If you look closely you will notice the patterns emerging from within the horse and the butterflies. This work has been very challenging yet rewarding and I look forward to creating more of the collection."

This artwork is printed with a fine art printer on archival, matte, velvet fine art paper. I chose a softer watercolour texture to enhance the deep tones, resembling a cold-pressed watercolour sheet with its lovely velvet finish.
Each piece has a unique identifying number and is hand-signed on the front. It’s a limited edition, so it won't be reproduced once it’s sold out.
I now offer unmounted prints, but if you add mounting, your piece will arrive with a backboard and cellophane cover, making it perfect for gifting or framing immediately.
✨ About the limited edition prints:
Each unmounted print comes with a backboard and a protective cover. Every print features a handwritten identifying number reflecting its place in the limited release, along with the artist's signature.
Printed on premium, thicker archival matte velvet fine art paper, the quality difference between a standard print and a fine art print is striking. This limited edition run provides a gallery-quality experience. Feel free to check my shop feedback for more information on the quality of the prints.
✨ How are fine art prints created:
All prints are printed using a fine art printer, on fine art paper. The inks used to create this work are special art printing inks, not your standard printer ink, my prints have enhanced print longevity, they will last approximately 200 years in a photo album, 80 years on display behind normal glass in sunlight before they start to fade!
(Please look at the texture and detail on the images, it's such a beautiful fine art paper.)
A2 prints will have a longer lead time as they require printing from a fine art lab in London UK. ( Around 1 to 2 weeks)
Print size A4 with mounting fits into 12" x 16" frame. A4 image size is the UK standard printer paper size 21.0 x 29.7cm,
Print size A3 with mounting fits into a 20" x 16" frame. A3 image size is double A4- 29.7 x 42.0cm
Print size A2 arrives unmounted fits into a A2 frame. A2 image size: 16.5 x 23.4”
(When looking for a frame please search for the size above with no mounting, for example ‘’12" x 16" frame no mounting’’ it is very easy to frame just simply remove the protective cover and pop straight into the frame. Please feel free to message me should you need help when you have your artwork)
