PORTFOLIORecent workThe creation of explanations for the inexplicable has been the starting point for my current paintings. The mythologies of worlds that possibly never existed have been assimilated into the fabric of our lives and now reflect the very nature of our understanding of ‘place’ on the planet. Humanity’s urge to look to the skies has been reflected in the way recorded time has been written or illustrated. This has shaped our environment, not always in a way compatible with our inner, natural/ Pagan beliefs.
