Mermaid

Mermaid

Limited Edition Hand-Embellished Print

She does not come to the surface easily.

You have to look for her — past the first impression, past the obvious beauty, down into the layers where the real story lives. And when you find her there, in the depth and the gold and the fragments of colour and form shifting beneath the surface, you will understand why she stayed hidden so long.

Some things are too precious to reveal all at once.

Mermaid is a portrait about what lives beneath. The strength that doesn't show itself immediately. The complexity that reveals itself slowly, in different light, on different days, to those patient enough to keep looking. She is textured and layered and quietly, unmistakably alive — a creature of depth in every sense of the word.

There is gold running through her. Of course there is. Gold where the light finds the cracks. Gold where the pressure of living has left its mark and been transformed into something luminous. She has been through something. It made her extraordinary.

She Gives More Over Time

This is not a painting you understand in one looking.

Every print is hand-embellished by Ann — worked over with gold accents, layered texture and intricate detail that catch the light differently depending on the hour, the season, the angle of the sun through your window. Up close she is complex and surprising. From across the room she commands.

No two prints are ever identical. The one that comes to you will be entirely, irreducibly its own.

The longer you look, the more she gives.
