Have you managed to slay your dragons?

We all have dragons to face. Some are enormous, others barely visible. They might be our fears, our doubts or the challenges life throws in our path. But what happens when we find the courage to confront them?

George and the Dragon is a large original abstract oil painting inspired by the legendary battle between Saint George and the dragon, a timeless story of courage, resilience and transformation.

Despite its fierce title, this painting is a joyful explosion of vibrant colour, expressive shapes and dynamic movement. Rather than illustrating the legend literally, it captures something of its energy, the struggle, the determination and, above all, the possibility of overcoming adversity.

The legend of Saint George has been told and retold for centuries. Like all great myths and fairy tales, it speaks to something deeply human. The dragon can represent the unknown, the obstacles we encounter or the fears we must learn to face. And perhaps slaying the dragon is not always about destroying something, but about discovering our own strength.

My paintings often explore the mysterious space between the visible world and the imaginal, drawing inspiration from mythology, nature and the stories that have shaped our understanding of ourselves.

I work intuitively, allowing colours, forms and movement to develop through the painting process. I search for the moment when the individual elements begin to resonate and the painting comes alive.

George and the Dragon is full of this energy. Its vibrant colours and lively composition invite the eye to wander, discovering new shapes, relationships and stories with every encounter.

A celebration of courage, hope and the extraordinary strength we discover when we face life's challenges.

With its generous square format and exuberant colours, this original artwork makes a wonderful statement piece. It has the power to transform a room, bringing energy, warmth and a sense of optimism into your home.

A painting to live with, to draw strength from and to enjoy for years to come.
