The Royal Academy of Arts, located in the heart of London, is a place where art is made, exhibited and debated.

Our in-studio events are back! We can’t wait to see you. Class size is very limited to allow for social distancing requirements. Spend an evening painting this magical mermaid.

The artworrk of Annie Stegg Gerard embodies magic and mythology, while the compositions she creates nod to her affection for the Rococo art movement.

There is something so mystical and dreamy about mermaids. My love for Greek Mythology has reignited lately and today I stumbled on this image on Pinterest. The mermaid goddess Atargatis was known to the Greeks, who called her Derketo. Her transformation and story may have influenced later Greek depictions of the Sirens as fish-tailed When I was at uni I was a mermaid for Halloween, made my own sparkly tail and everything. Wish I took a photo of it with my disposable camera. Didn’t do that…
