Waxed acrylic sgraffito on wood, set in an antique circular frame.
Swan is a painting by Cornwall-based artist Tabby Booth, whose distinctive practice blends storytelling, folklore, and decorative tradition. Created using waxed acrylic sgraffito on wood, the surface is carved to reveal layers beneath, resulting in a richly textured finish that feels both timeworn and expressive.
Presented in an early antique circular frame, the piece holds a quiet stillness and a sense of timeless observation, echoing Booth’s interest in handworked imagery and the poetic every day. Her work draws inspiration from scrimshaw, folk art, and the mythic, infusing her subjects with a playful seriousness and graphic strength.
A graduate of Central Saint Martins and co-founder of Sailors Jail Gallery in Falmouth, Booth creates work for what she describes as “the walls of bold, playful people.”
