Hi, I’m Merran. I’m an artist and illustrator from Cornwall, UK.
My work explores ancient history and mysticism, taking inspiration from Cornwall's rich mythology and folklore.
Highly detailed, black and white ink drawings form the basis of my practice, through which I try to speculate alternative ways of being. Alternative to the disenchanted state of modernity, I try to imagine a world more full of mystery and magic.​
