“Cordelia”
Cordelia, in Irish, means jewel of the sea. I thought this looked like a beautiful ornate jewel that I would love to find at the bottom of the sea. The colors are varying greens and blues and turquoise with 23kt gold diamonds on the top and bottom.

The inspiration for this piece came from the carpet pages from the “Book of Kells”.
I love this verse Joshua 24:15. The gold anchors it with lovely flower in pink and varying shades of purple.
This is done with a purple background. The “C” is done with a slight reminder of the Celtic knotwork.
His wreath you may have noticed resembles larva. Perhaps that’s because there is a butterfly in the middle of it.
A beautiful piece inspired by the work of the ancient manuscripts. The letter is inlayed with 23k gold and has spirals and knots throughout.
Focus your eyes on the center of this painting and you’ll see the “Irish Butterfly”.
