Butterflies 2020 - Fine Art Print
Butterflies 2020 - Fine Art Print
Description
Butterflies 2020 captures a rare and luminous natural event witnessed along the Sunshine Coast during the COVID lockdowns, when thousands of blue butterflies emerged in a sudden kaleidoscope of movement and colour. Against the backdrop of an already unusual time, the swarm felt both surreal and quietly hopeful.
Painted in a single sitting, this work was created as a spontaneous response - a fast, instinctive expression to capture the energy, fragility, and fleeting beauty of the moment as it unfolded. The composition holds both motion and stillness, reflecting how time seemed suspended during lockdown while nature continued its rhythms uninterrupted.
Originally created as a fine art painting, Butterflies 2020 is offered as a fine art reproduction, preserving the immediacy, colour, and emotional weight of the original one-sitting study.

Care
Caring for Your Artwork
To preserve the beauty and longevity of your artwork, a little care goes a long way. Follow the guidance below to help protect your piece for years to come.
Fine Art Prints
Handle prints with clean, dry hands, holding them by the edges wherever possible. Avoid touching the printed surface, as oils from your fingers can leave marks. Keep prints away from direct sunlight, moisture and excessive humidity. When storing unframed prints, use an archival-quality sleeve or acid-free protective materials, and store them flat in a clean, dry environment.
For the best long-term protection, consider professional framing with UV-protective glazing and archival-quality materials.
Original Artworks
Handle original artworks gently and with clean, dry hands, avoiding contact with the painted or drawn surface. Keep them away from direct sunlight, heat sources, moisture and fluctuating temperatures. Avoid applying cleaning products, or polish to the artwork, and seek advice to clean the surface yourself. When moving or storing an original, protect it from dust, scratches and impact.
For valuable or delicate works, consult a professional art conservator for specialist care and preservation advice.
CRAFT & QUALITY
Each artwork is created with a considered approach to composition, detail and material. From original works shaped by the artist's hand to fine art prints that bring these works to a wider audience, every piece is selected or produced to honour the integrity of the art.
