Although I’ve got Celtic heritage, it was a couple of years with a base in Dublin and travels around Ireland that allowed me to explore the many beautiful Celtic carvings that Ireland has to offer. From the amazing illuminated art in the Book of Kells, to those carved in stone or painted on old pub signs in towns and villages, you cannot miss Celtic knots. With no identifiable beginning or ending, their infinite pathway is often translated as symbolic of the unending cycle of life and love. To create this Celtic heart knot, I’ve drawn thousands of tiny acrylic ink dots, using a vintage dip pen inherited from my mum; the dots are spaced out or layered up to create the depth of the intertwining knot work, which is then embellished with vibrant, watercolour pencil green foliage and deep pink flowers of the Dicentra (Bleeding Heart).

How to flatten rolled art prints: keep them in their clear protective sleeve and gently unroll them, laying them on a hard, flat surface and laying heavy, flat items, such as heavy books, in an even layer on top. Do not attempt to roll them the other way because you will likely crease your print!
