Dolphin Boxes and Plaques
My design of dolphins entwined in a heart is first burned into the wooden boxes and plaques. The dolphins are hand painted, with earth colours that have been used by artists for centuries, before sealing with a protective lacquer.
Many years ago vacationing on the beautiful island of Crete, I was fortunate enough to visit Knossos. There I explored the ruined Palace of Minos and saw the beautiful wall art, reconstructions of the originals which had been removed for conservation.
I particularly liked the beautiful Dolphin Fresco in the Queen's Hall. Dolphins decorating a jug from the same Minoan period inspired the boxes and plaques below.
