Mermaid's Fan was inspired by a piece of coral Ches discovered, its delicate, fan-like shape sparking the idea of something a mermaid might carry.
Created using a hand-painted collagraph technique, the work combines fine lines, intricate textures and soft, earthy tones to capture the coral's unusual form. The result is a playful interpretation of a natural object, bringing a little imagination and folklore into the underwater world.

For Ches, a life spent creating has always been intertwined with a deep connection to the natural world and, now, the coastline she calls home.
