This print was created in conjunction with the Glasgow Print Studio 50th Anniversary Here & Now Legacy Project. "I love animals and in particular foxes. I came across a picture of a black fox and thought well aren’t you beautiful, hence the title 'Hey Beautiful’. The world today can be a strange and ugly place, with war and living with a pandemic, you forget to see the beauty around us and this is what inspired this print. I chose to do a screenprint as I wanted to show the drawing of the fox and keep it simple."
