About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online.
Tiny yet luminous, Pocket Raspberry captures a cluster of glistening drupelets with jewel-like precision. Dani Humberstone’s oil on canvas painting transforms the familiar berry into a textural treasure, its vibrant red glowing from within. Each detail—the highlight, the subtle cast shadow, the flicker of green—brings the fruit to near sculptural life.
The composition is minimal but deeply focused: the raspberry floats in darkness, commanding attention with its vivid colour and intricate surface. Humberstone’s brushwork creates a tension between realism and reverence, making the small object feel monumental.
Pocket Raspberry is a celebration of richness on a tiny scale—elegant, sharp, and utterly radiant. This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online.
Artist Bio:
Born in London, Dani attended a Rudolph Steiner school before studying fashion in Brighton. After which she returned to her original love of painting and drawing, freelancing for years as an artist before setting up a publishing company where she worked as the principal artist and designer. After many years in business, she left publishing and turned to painting full time.
Dani was Vice-President of the Society of Women Artists for five years becoming Director when she stepped down.
The winner of several awards for painting, she is regularly invited to exhibit at the Florence Biennale and has been selected to show at the RA Summer Exhibition. She continues to show regularly in the UK, Europe, Asia & the USA.
Using principally the imagery of fruit in much of her work, her interest is largely in its metaphorical and symbolic use in the visual arts as well as strong links to language, examples include the Bible, myth and fairy tale, branding, popular culture, language, literature and as symbols of power, passion, and fertility.
The use of traditional painting techniques, strong light and shade or chiaroscuro creates a sense of drama. There is a surreal quality and humour in much of her work but importantly there is also a respectful nod to the painters of the Renaissance and many influences from the Dutch Golden Age of the principally 17th century.

“As a painter I can tear the visual curtain to reveal a microscopic world within worlds, layered memory and the inclusion of personal objects, the work almost becomes portraiture.” Also, “Within my work I aspire to fuse the still-life tradition and Vanitas painting within a contemporary context, using both familiar objects and ideas.”- Dani Humberstone SWA

Dani Humberstone
Discover new paintings by artist Dani Humberstone. Dani Humberstone uses the symbolism of ripe fruit to illustrate the narrative. Painting directly from life allows her to translate three dimensions into two and capture the essence or life force of the subject. Individual fruits damage easily; so as they slowly age she tracks their gradual decay in the painting as she works. Fruit has been used metaphorically in art and language for centuries. It has helped Illustrate Fairy Tales, Mythology, The Bible and Shakespeare.etc An apple in Renaissance painting was symbolic of ‘a fallen woman’ and we still use fruit analogies to describe ourselves and our lives today. In her own work the artist also uses elements of abstraction, landscape or line drawing to hint at a deeper narrative within and opening the door to unseen possibilities beyond the immediate image. Dani Humberstone paints in oils, predominantly Old Holland Classic Oilcolour - using transparent glazes over opaque colour which creates intense levels of luminosity and depth. Strong light and shade, chiaroscuro, give atmosphere and tone.
