The Tudor Rose
Inspired by a floral motif from Katherine Parr’s Prayer Book, this illuminated panel is painted on vellum with a gilded ground and a central red rose framed by blue and green ornament. Its balanced geometry and rich Tudor palette echo the refined devotional art of the mid‑sixteenth century.
The Grimbald Quatrefoil
Inspired by the quatrefoil ornaments of the Grimbald Book of Hours, this illumination is painted on natural vellum and gilded with 23.5ct gold. Concentric rings of blue and green surround a central gold boss, while curling foliate forms radiate outward in a balanced, symmetrical design.
