About the art
Artist statement
This enchanting wall piece captures the essence of a hidden sanctuary deep within a magical forest. The weathered wood frame, bound with rustic ropes, evokes the timelessness of an ancient artifact, while the ceramic centerpiece depicts a mystical landscape. Rich, textured gold suggests the shimmering ground of a faerie domain, merging seamlessly with the vibrant greens of an enchanted canopy.
Inspired by Irish folklore, "The Faerie’s Refuge" invites the viewer into a secret woodland realm—a sacred haven where faeries find solace, hidden from the mortal world. This unique combination of natural materials and intricate craftsmanship weaves together mystery, wonder, and storytelling.
