Summer Owl is an original drawing by Dr Martin Shaw made at summer solstice, the zenith of the year.

In this series of works you will meet the myths, people and animals that have long kept pace with him as he has traversed Dartmoor. Created on his return to the moor after the publication tour for Liturgies of the Wild, each work reflects a renewed closeness to that landscape, it's myths and mysterious characters discovered via a Dartmoor Palsh.

Martin explains, “Palsh is an old Devon expression for taking a long, dreamlike wander. A kind of visionary stroll. I travel a great deal to teach, and when I return I sink back into a kind of ongoing Palsh. Since a kid I've loved the inebriation of both Dartmoor folktale and landscape, and for over fifty years I've dwelt in both. These drawings gradually float up from this kind of awareness. I'm not entirely sure who these characters always are, but I welcome them in.”

Dr Martin Shaw is a writer, mythographer and Christian thinker, and the author of seventeen books. He is a visiting member of Cambridge University’s Faculty of Divinity and a fellow of the Temenos Academy. He founded the Oral Tradition and Mythic Life courses at Stanford University and directs the Westcountry School of Myth in the UK. For over thirty years, he has worked as a wilderness rites-of-passage guide.

This original artwork by Tabby Booth is part of ‘Of Myth and Moor’, a series of paintings celebrating our connection with nature and lore via the wildlife stories and histories of Dartmoor.

‘Of Myth and Moor’ is a collection of fourteen original works inspired by the wildlife and folklore of Dartmoor. Presented in antique frames, the pieces bring together creatures that can be found on the moor today and those that, depending on who you ask, can still be found there too. Snakes and slugs sit alongside spectral visitors and local legends, blurring the line between natural history and folklore. Several works also incorporate gold leaf for the first time, representing the magic of a landscape where fact and fiction live side by side.

Known for her striking and signature silhouettes, Tabby Booth’s work beautifully treads the line between contemporary illustration and traditional folk art. Driven by a deep passion for interiors, each of her pieces is thoughtfully created with the home in mind, intricately threaded with recurring themes of mythical beasts, ancient folklore, and the enduring pull of the sea, river, and land.
