For the Map Butterfly series I explore the ephemeral and transitory nature of our personal histories and memories. I use vintage maps to reflect the connections people have with their own geography, the journeys they’ve taken during their life and how they mark significant events. I try to pin down their memories of place in a manner evocative of how the Victorians lepidopterans studied and displayed butterflies.
I offer commissions ranging from the more affordable paper based series or the hand embroidered silk and Irish linen collection. Both are ideal for any occasion such as Christmas, birthdays or weddings . Please feel free to get in touch via email or Instagram
