Painted Not Pinned collection “Damsfly spin"
From the Artist:
“The collection Painted Not Pinned began its journey in London’s Natural History Museum. A project years in the making, each piece has been curated, photographed and then digitally hand-drawn on top to bring each butterfly back to its former glory. I was given the privilege to explore the archives in the Darwin Centre of the museum, handle the butterflies and use the amazing photography systems they have. My collection aims to display nature’s incredible beauties close up in the comfort of our homes without taking wildlife out of its natural ecological home.”
✨ In the photos the larger mounted piece is 16” x 16” and the smaller is 10” x 10”. Please note XL 24” x 24” will arrive unmounted and created by a fine art printer in London to the highest museum standard.

This work is printed using a fine art printer, on an archival, matte, textured fine art paper, I decided to change the print paper to a softer watercolour texture to really bring out the deep tones. The paper is very similar to a cold pressed watercolour sheet which has a beautiful texture.

✨ 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.)
Print size small measures 10” x 10” and will pop straight into a 10” x 10” frame
