The Haunting of Flight Feathers
Only the sporadic sound of twigs underfoot suggests someone is there. If not for the slight swaying of a branch or the twisting of a leaf her presence would remain unannounced.

Path of the Dream Walker
"I grew up dreaming. Armed with paintbrushes, sketchbooks and an ocean-deep heart I stepped onto the path of Art and walked in the direction of my dreams, knowing it wasn't an easy route I had chosen, but the only one that will lead me home.
Working and living in Bristol, in the South West of England, I spend my days painting in a woodland studio under the watchful gaze of squirrel, deer and a myriad of forest dwellers.
I have always had a passion for painting figuratively, seeking to convey emotion and spirit through the human form. The natural world with the legends and archetypes our earth is steeped in provides an endless source of inspiration for me.
Painting isn't something I do; it's more a case of who I am. My first language, my truest love, whether drawing, or painting in oils, acrylics or watercolour I seek to tell my story, your story and the ancient stories Gaia whispers to the trees."

A Gift of Fairy Tales
There is nothing I like better on a freezing winter night than curling up in a cozy chair near a crackling fire with a book in hand. All the better if it is a wonderfully illustrated book of fairy tales.
Noël
A while ago I finally completed something I've attempted to do several times over the years; a Christmas themed painting. I've started many, and to my shame, finished none. I'm very good at starting paintings!
‘SILKA’ Chapter 3: THE SPRIGGANS
Poor Poog. One can really only laugh over the fact that he's been mistaken for a troll on many an occasion. This can only be due to his unkempt appearance, coupled with the low-pitched drivel he mumbles.
Tales of Places I will never see
How I love visiting places connected with myths and legends. But sometimes, stories connected with these places I will never visit can be so much more interesting.
