Story: This artwork was inspired by Victorian lepidopterist Margaret Fountaine.  Described as a natural-born hunter.  Whether it was love, adventure or butterflies, her pursuit was relentless and her energy legendary.  She emerged from an unremarkable Victorian upringing with an extraordinary drive to self determination which defined her entire life.  Unconventional by nature, Fountaine was never cowed by society's structures, or by what was expected, this provided her with many exciting opportunities.  The price of her freedom was high but she never regretted her choices.  A passionate lover and fearless individualist, her life as founded on the idiosyncratic determination to pursue her own path irrespective of convention.
