Description
Iona’s painting of ‘Strength’ is a powerful expression of her passion for wildlife and her own inner strength.
The use of the lion as her subject matter is particularly striking , as lions are often seen as symbols of strength , power and courage. Iona spent a lot of time in South Africa in her late 20’s , spending time in the bush suggests that she has a deep connection with nature and a strong appreciation for the beauty and power of wild animals .
The use of oils and later acrylic and gold leaf colour is also significant , as it suggests that Iona is constantly experimenting with new techniques and materials to express her artistic vision.
