My art tells stories, familiar yet strange, blending reality with my inner vision. Stories offer a timeless link to threads that connect us all, ancient traditions, legends, myths and archetypes. I enjoy using a range of mediums and techniques to convey a world both real and dreamlike. My paintings are inhabited by people, animals and forms from nature, inviting viewers to connect to the intimate inner world inhabited by our soul, where fragility, wonderment and hope collide.
