Guy then graduated from Central Saint Martins School of Art in 2011. “Norfolk is my home, where I go to find inspiration. Growing up here, I have an affinity with and fascination for animals, for their quirks, strengths, and fragility. I have tried to capture these characteristics in this collection of Insects in small format original etchings that render them accessible to the viewer. I use gold leaf, itself a delicate medium, to highlight the natural beauty, iridescence and fragility of the insect and animal world”
