Mixed media drawing on yupo paper in custom mocha frame 34 x 43cm.

This work explores the fairytale, ‘The Little Mermaid’ by Hans Christian Anderson, where a young mermaid is willing to give up her life in the sea and identity as a mermaid to gain a human soul. This is a story of sacrifice for the man she loves and inevitable sorrow. The tale is one of sadness. The work reflects her love of the ocean as well as her human connection to dancing.
