About Lorna Doyan

 
 
  • Biography
    I gather inspiration from the simple, symmetrical and delicate beauty of butterflies to create three-dimensional artworks. I am particularly interested in playing with light and shadow in my works, I use colour and texture to add further dimension. The shadows and reflections adjust in different light settings allowing my works to take on a sculptural quality that changes throughout day to night and the direction you look at them. I like to use gold leaf in every piece which adds a precious quality whilst complementing the majesty of the butterfly. Every butterfly is either hand punched or cut by hand from gorgeous paper, card and imagery that I have collected and inspires a piece. Every artwork is sealed and framed in either a white or black solid box frame.
