The Artist....
Love & Perfume cannot be hidden. Likewise, my subject images arise from genetic memory, the Collective Unconsciousness... and the Well of Urd --- the RNA/DNA coursing through my own bonemarrow for inspiration.
Shadows of past lives and of ancestral impressions... celebrating our tribes of Britain and Europe. Living, loving, remembering.

About my art process:
Earth pigments, exquisite acrylics, watercolours and handmade paints, pixilated media, natural fibers, found sacred objects, altar installations, public Beltane Maypole dances, handmade papers and stretched canvas are but a doorway....
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paintings in progress:
- NORNS & SPINSTERS....... a series of 9 paintings. Paleo-themes of Destiny and women who spin, weave, measure and cut.
- HORSE PRIESTESS OSSUARIES. Large triptych on canvas. Grave goods of Nordic, Celtic and Sarmatian horsewomen.. ancestor mothers.
Illustrations in progress:
- Hand-tinted woodcuts & lino-blocks.
- Designing & carving a print series featuring Morgan horses for a Vermont client. Slow and steady with these lively equine projects. Finished prints will be posted here.
Private commissions. In progress.
Two small paintings of distinctive Neolithic dolmens in misty and atmospheric Pembrokeshire Wales UK.
Both are intensely haunted sites, and absolute favourites of mine. Completed canvases shall be posted here after the client has collected them in April 2011.
