The loved European Otter was close to extinct in the UK in the 1960’s when farming pesticides affected their breeding. They can now be found in every county in England and Wales however Otters are still considered rare and in recent years again pollution has impacted their river food sources.

Otters are known for their dexterity using tools , particularly stones and rocks. Often Otters have a favourite stone which they store in specialised pouches underneath their arms.

Each of Danni’s pieces are original, unique and produced by Danni from start finish here in her studio. Each piece is inked, painted and gilded onto the reverse of toughened glass. After completion the piece is flipped over to reveal the artwork through the glass and framed in a 45mm deep frame, creating a gap between the artwork on the glass and the white backboard, which creates the shadow effect you can see behind the Otter giving the whole piece an almost 3D quality. These shadows can move and dance across the backboard when the piece is hung in natural light, like in a lovely bright room , but will look equally as good under spots or in any well lit space. Once evening comes the the work will take on a whole new aspect as thecopper leaf radiates it’s own luminescence. .
