The Luna Collection’ is based around animals associated with the moon, in 12 of the full moons that happen through the year. 
As the October full moon — the Hunter’s Moon — rises, the barn owl stands as a quiet symbol of intuition and perception within the darkness. Owls have long been regarded as messengers between worlds, keepers of secrets, and guides through the unseen.
Here, the silver-leaf moon becomes a mirror of awareness — reflecting the cycles of light and shadow that shape both nature and the self. The owl, symbolises clarity in stillness and wisdom.
The Hunter’s Moon traditionally marked a time of gathering and preparation, when instincts sharpened and the veil between the physical and the spiritual seemed thin. This painting captures that moment of heightened awareness — a reminder to trust intuition, to pause, and to truly see.
