We'd like to introduce you all to the fabulous artist we worked with on 'Despite The Wind And Rain', Ali Berardelli. As we researched the women we featured on the album it became clear, given the huge range of the subjects historically, that there wouldn't be images of all of the women. We thought would be great to commission a piece of art to represent each of the women featured and, because we were already a fan of her work, commissioned Ali to create ten special images representing the women in our songs. Ali, working from her studio at home in Lochaber, on the west coast of Scotland, surpassed our greatest expectations with ten gorgeous pieces, created using cyanotype (an old photographic priniting process). Our album cover is a beautiful composite which includes elements from each of the ten images. Below, we have posted each of the images with a brief description of the women they represent. A HUGE thank you to Ali for her amazing contribution to the album. To see more of Ali's beautiful work visit her official Instagram by clicking here.
