Wild Places
original artwork by Deryn Abrahams
original artwork by Deryn Abrahams
is a collection of wild cards
inspired by life in the mountains and shared adventures. A hike, a ski-tour or an evening sketchbook walk. The Alps offer a unique, wild, raw landscape. Shrinking glaciers, shifting mountains and changeable skies. Weather and time leave their marks dramatically here.
This collection aims to bring the outside in; translating the places, the moments, the weather and the light of the Chamonix valley into a series of mixed-media expressive works. Capturing the joy and deep connection to nature in beautiful paintings, and sharing that connection to complete the creative journey.

ORIGINAL PAINTING ON PANEL
acrylic paint, collage and pastel.
Inspired by one of my first climbs in the Alps many moons ago; the Dent du Geant (the giant’s tooth).

The passage of time and the weathered surfaces of nature are reflected in the rich texture and natural surfaces. Mixed media, paint and collage are combined to create a journey for the onlooker.
Framed 37cm x 37cm x 4cm Unframed 30cm x 30cm
Sealed with a soft wax finish and mounted in a wooden frame.
