CHELSEA HOPKINS-ALLAN
Chelsea Hopkins-Allan is an Australian painter, sharing insights into the strange and beautiful details from nature that might otherwise be readily overlooked, particularly in a busy distracted world. Enlarging what is tiny and simplifying or exaggerating patterns, details, colours and textures using paints, crayons and other materials. Her intention is to guide people to more readily experience what she have observed for themselves; igniting curiosity and a sense of wonder, making people feel good and hopefully even increasing their value and appreciation for the natural environment.
Before becoming an artist, Chelsea studied and worked as an environmental scientist. Physical illness and its impacts in her twenties caused Chelsea to turn to painting to express her fascination and passion for the natural world and share the magical little insights that carried her through the hardest times. Her paintings are also very symbolic and intuitive, driven by her personal experiences and belief in the magic, power, beauty and inspiration life has to offer in spite of its challenges we ALL face in different forms at times in our lives.
both original artworks and Limited Edition prints from the ‘Butterfly Wing-Scales’ series and ‘Crochet Web Mandala’ series by Chelsea Hopkins-Allan are available through Enigmatic Drawings Fine Art Gallery.
FINE ART LIMITED EDITION PRINTS
BUTTERFLY WING-SCALES SERIES - FINE ART LIMITED EDITION PRINTS
ABOUT THIS SERIES
These paintings are giant illustrations of the wing surface of a butterfly (or moth) wing, as seen under the microscope. The wings of these insects are carpeted in millions of tiny vibrant scales in an incredible variety of colours. Have you ever touched a butterfly or moth and noticed a fine dust on your fingertips? This is these tiny wing-scales sticking to your skin!

LIMITED TOTAL EDITION OF 100 PRINTS
Please note that this is a Limited Edition Reproduction Print which means that once the edition is sold out there will be no additional art prints made of this particular artwork! Sections of this artwork may be used for textiles but the actual artwork-print number is final
SIGNED
Each piece is carefully checked, hand-signed, titled and numbered by Chelsea Hopkins-Allan in pencil on the front lower edge of the print.
CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY
A Certificate of Authenticity will be provided with the artwork.
MATERIALS
Archival pigment inks on 100% cotton archival art paper (museum grade).
The paper I have chosen is a 310gsm Hahnemuhle German Etching paper. It has a lovely texture and thickness to it like the watercolour paper I use for the originals.
Giclee prints are of an exceptional quality and colour and with appropriate framing/care should remain lightfast (not fade or have their colour affected) for at least a hundred years!!! (This is fine art printing and involves different materials to 'normal' printing, hence the price difference but worth the investment!)
FRAME
The artwork is raised up to 5mm from backing and beautifully presented in a white box-frame that is custom hand made to museum standards and ready to hang.
CROCHET WEB MANDALA SERIES - FINE ART LIMITED EDITION PRINTS
ABOUT THIS SERIES
These circular watercolour paintings are based on crochet textiles, a spiders web, the spiral inside a shell, the mandala (sacred circular symbols found in many cultures) and so many beautiful organic-type spiral shapes observed in nature. Colour healing and the value of focus and/or meditation in life and inspiration also play an important role in the concept of these works.
AVAILABLE SIZES
