Take me back to the Silver Birch Forest

Silver Birch trees have such a beautiful atmosphere and elegance about them. A symbol of renewal and purification in early Celtic mythology, bundles of birch twigs were used to drive out the spirits of the old year and welcome new beginnings and growth for the new year.

Inspiring artists and poets for centuries, this piece was particularly inspired by the beautiful photography of Ansel Adams.
