A painting for readers and dreamers … for art collectors searching for that one-of-a-kind piece rich in history and symbolism.
It’s about the history of reading and a time when women were not allowed to read books (other than the Bible) unless they went to a convent. Because reading made them dangerous! (Thus: “Here be Dragons.”
Here Be Dragons is a richly layered fantasy collage that invites the viewer into a world where literature, imagination, and discovery meet. A dragon-mermaid figure with flowing red hair becomes the visual anchor of the piece, surrounded by floating books, vintage map fragments, and a dusky cityscape that suggests both adventure and memory. The work has a narrative, collectible quality that rewards close looking and feels especially well suited to collectors who are drawn to story-rich, symbolic, and one-of-a-kind artwork.
Created with a mix of visual textures and imaginative imagery, this piece blends old-world references with dreamlike fantasy to produce a sense of mystery and movement. The book, the map, and the sea all point to exploration—of place, of story, and of the self. For collectors, it offers not just a striking visual statement, but a conversation piece with depth, character, and a strong sense of identity.
Perfect for a library, study, reading nook, or curated art wall, Here Be Dragons would appeal especially to collectors who appreciate literary themes, fantasy symbolism, and art that feels both elegant and unexpected. Available for collectors who value imaginative fine art with a distinctive voice.
