Weed Wife Print
Weed Wife, originally painted as a love-song to the plants of Dartmoor, this painting in oils on burr oak has become beloved to many herbalists, plantfolk, hedge-scourers over the years since I painted it.
This painting seems also to have touched some gentle yet powerful part of many women who have seen it, bringing tears to their eyes. I can't explain why this might be because I don't really know, though I was very moved to hear it had this effect. Some kind of plant-song must come out of it, revivifying a deep and long-held wild knowing.
Sister of the hedge, Yarrow in hand, bring your Heartsease to those who need it...
