I love exploring mythical themes of transition and the collective unconscious - it really is all about what makes us human. I want to paint more than nature, to to draw viewers into the magical world we inhabit—and so often destroy. For me this is a statement about nature's energies and aliveness, it fascinates me constantly.

Fairies are a gentle counterpoint to the constant flow of negative imagery. Imagination with sprinkling of inspiration. Starting with sketches inspired by Cicely Mary Barker, I then took my sketches of ballet students as a starting point (I spent 6 years painting in a local ballet studio, you can see some of my work from then here).

August, 2025, I was delighted to receive a scholarship from the Cultural Fund of the City of Salzburg to study "Visual Exploration through the Dynamic Interpretions of Etching" at the Salzburg International Summer Academy of Fine Arts. You can read about it here.

Of course I couldn't resist turning some of my other world paintings into etchings.
