About the Artwork:
“A belated celebration of the Year of the Rabbit! Rabbits are my favourite animal so 2023 felt pre-ordained to be a year of magic. This magical rabbit is surrounded by some of my favourite wild things – fruit, flowers, fungi, and fauna – to give the effect of a shrine overflowing with offerings.
This is the largest I have worked in over 10 years and took over 3 months to paint. Because my work is so detailed and slow-going, I generally keep things very small. However, I felt strongly that this painting had to be large and commanding!” – Shannon Knight
