Artwork description:

Cosmic galaxy-style lace flower. Named Aurora after the Roman goddess of sunrise whose tears turned into the morning dew. She was said to renew herself by traveling from East to West across the sky, announcing the arrival of the sun each dawn. A striking design that I created to capture the eyes and hearts of all who pass by.

Biography:

I’m a colour visually impaired, self-taught artist. Specialising in abstract and bold colours. My passion and expertise are flower designs, leaf patterns and mandalas. I’ve never let my colour-blindness deter me from creating bold and dazzling designs. Previously painted for Dublin Canvas in 2018, 2019 and 2020. It has been my favourite project I’ve ever done and I adore the colour that has enveloped the city since it was started.
