No dream is too big. A deep blue coloured etching and aquatint of a girl collecting the moon and stars. This began as a rough sketch which the artist then drew onto a grounded zinc plate, using an etching needle. An aquatint was added to achieve the deep tone. The plate is inked for every print in the small limited edition before being pulled through the press, meaning each one is unique.

Rebecca Denton, painter and printmaker, has original artworks for sale with Wychwood Art in their art gallery and online. With over two decades of creating, Rebecca Denton works from her sketches and imagination to create original prints in her North London studio. Her aquatints are often whimsical, featuring imagined characters in imaginary landscapes and her narrative etchings are playful, sometimes with a serious context but always hopeful and life-affirming. I love it when people connect with the work; perhaps it triggers a childhood memory or allows them to dream of a better world or just dream... Rebecca also creates unique one-off prints; moments of beauty where the soul of the place can be felt.
