Brìde Folklore Print

This digitally reproduced artwork is created by Abbie Lois, a Scottish illustrator and printmaker who reimagines the traditions of storytelling for modern day. 

Her work is rooted in folklore, with characters and landscapes inspiring her artwork. In Scottish legend, the goddess Brìde was captured on the eve of Samhain by Beira, a diety known as the Queen of Winter who shaped the land to her will. She was released when the King of Summer gifted her young plant saplings and said to tell the winter queen that spring would soon return. This day is now known as Imbolc, the pagan festival of spring.

The original artwork was hand-drawn by Abbie, before being screen printed and produced in digital form onto FSC-certified perlino cotton 250gsm paper, giving the piece a slightly textured finish. The print is hand-signed by the artist and includes a small card explaining the inspiration and story behind the design.
