The Story
Size:19 x 25 in.
Mary Shaw’s Wildflowers and a Butterfly III (12" x 18") is a delicate and enchanting portrayal of the English countryside, filled with intricate meadow flowers, golden highlights, and a sense of movement that captures the essence of nature in bloom. The soft lavender and pastel hues create a dreamlike quality, while her use of diamond dust adds an iridescent sparkle, giving the piece a contemporary yet timeless feel.
Shaw’s signature style blends loosely painted organic elements with exquisitely detailed floral depictions, reflecting her deep connection to the landscapes of England. Born in Bristol, where she still resides and works, she has been painting since childhood, completing her first commission at just thirteen. Living in Zimbabwe and Cape Town for four years gave her a new perspective on nature, but on returning to the UK, she rekindled her appreciation for the rare and endangered species found in English hedgerows.
Her work has been exhibited extensively across the UK and is highly sought after by collectors worldwide, including the King of Qatar, who was gifted a piece by his son, Prince Abdullah Al Thani. Shaw’s paintings celebrate the beauty and movement of nature, capturing fleeting moments of rural splendour.
