About The Messenger

Across cultures hummingbirds have been associated with communication and unseen connections between heaven and earth.

Created as part of the Divinity Collection, The Messenger reflects a belief in the inherent sacredness of living beings, and the responsibility we carry in protecting what is fragile and rare.

The painting focuses on the hummingbird’s intensity of presence: its hovering stillness, rapid movement, and jewel-like colour. Light and shimmering tones give it a sense of immediacy, caught in a moment of suspension, while the golden background proclaims its divinity.


About this limited edition print

This limited edition print on paper offers a way to collect artwork with added brushwork.

Each piece begins as an archival giclée print on museum-quality fine art paper. Once printed, it is returned to my studio, where selected areas are individually hand-embellished, reintroducing surface detail and metallic elements found in the original painting.

The result is a print with physical presence and subtle variation, created in a strictly limited number.


Hand-embellishment

After printing, each piece is finished by hand using professional-grade acrylic paints.

This process introduces natural variation across the edition, ensuring that no two prints are identical. Each print is then signed, dated, and numbered, becoming a distinct work within the edition.
