Medusa original work
Olivia Lomenech Gill produced some beautiful illustrations for Jessie Burton’s retelling of the Medusa story and we now have some of the originals for sale. Commissioned by Bloomsbury Children’s Books who’d previously worked with her on Fantastic Beasts, it became an immediate success and that must be partly due to Olivia’s unusual method of working with etching, painting, charcoal, a complete mix of techniques. Olivia is an accomplished printmaker and painter, and this was the perfect project for her. Jessie was also interested in her processes and visited Olivia in Brittany when the work was exhibited there.
