Me and My Shadow, Rowena J Draper, Somerset
Acrylic on wood, held within a rare, ornately carved wooden frame. Holding elements of the Fool from the tarot, this playful piece invites the shadow to walk beside us – not as something to outrun, but as a faithful comrade. A partner in crime. A necessary mischief-maker at the edge of becoming. Here, innocence and instinct hold hands at the cliff’s edge. The sun is bright, the path unknown, and the shadow, ever loyal, trots behind us.

New Moon New Ride, Rowena J Draper, Somerset
Mixed media acrylic painting with textiles on wood, set inside an authentic vintage ornate frame. The moon is out, and she means business. Like most of my work, this piece is steeped in intuitive symbolism – for the beholder to feel into rather than explain away.
Rebel For Peace, Rowena J Draper, Somerset
Bold and bright, this mixed media acrylic painting with a touch of textiles gives a gold leaf effect. Painted as a peace prayer for all living beings.
