Acrylic and Mixed Media on paper

Framed in a black frame

365mm x 365mm (framed size)

Artist: Jessie Macaw

Wingman captures the quiet strength and resilience of a dragonfly—an ancient symbol of transformation and lightness of being. This striking mixed media painting on paper merges organic linework with rich, layered textures and abstract forms, inviting viewers into a world where nature and artistic experimentation collide.

A warm palette of ochres and rusts contrasts with bold turquoise and deep black, while hand-drawn details on the dragonfly’s wings offer a tactile, intimate connection to the subject. Subtle collage elements and expressive brushstrokes bring depth and movement, making this piece powerful yet grounding.
