Frances Anderson
Frances is a UK based artist, who works with watercolour and gold leaf to create unique images that celebrate the natural and metaphysical world. Entomology and iconography meet in her work, juxtaposing the realism of these jewel-like creatures with the lustre of 24ct gold. Surrounding each magnificent beast, the geometric designs speak of timeless sacred geometry.
Questions of value are central to her body of work. The value of a single beetle might seem insignificant next to the value of a precious metal, such as gold. And yet without insects there would be no life on this planet. The beetle is, in fact, invaluable.
