The Unicornfest

I was thrilled to be asked to paint a unicorn for The Unicornfest in 2023. I’ve wanted to paint a creature for a sculpture trail for years and years so this was a bit of a dream come true. All of the sculptures were auctioned off for charity at the end of the exhibition which saw them all dotted over the city and beyond.

My Unicorn – titled The Reaper (playing on a sombre idea while my bubblegum colours say the opposite) – paid homage to the creative, illustrative and street art inspired heritage of the city. It sat proudly in The Galleries shopping centre in the middle on Bristol City Centre and then was auctioned off and ended up in a new home in rural Ireland!
