About the work
I create images where people, animals, plants and landscapes become entwined, combining digital collage with painting, printmaking and drawing. My work explores humanity's relationship with the natural world through imagined spaces where history, myth and memory coexist. Rooted in both traditional printmaking and digital design, my practice embraces layering, experimentation and chance to create unexpected connections. I hope the work first invites through beauty before revealing quieter tensions beneath the surface. Rather than offering fixed narratives, the images encourage viewers to look closely, embrace ambiguity, and reflect on our place within an increasingly fragile world.
Come Closer
Digital painting and Collage, Printed as a six colour Lithograph
This one continues my interest in the point where the human figure and the natural world begin to dissolve into one another. At first glance, the image suggests a lush, almost paradise-like forest: dense with flowers, birds, foliage and decorative pattern. But the longer you look, the more watchful and strange the scene becomes.
At the centre of the work are two figures in an embrace, partially hidden and partly absorbed into the surrounding vegetation. Their closeness suggests intimacy, protection and vulnerability, but also a kind of surrender. The forest does not simply frame them; it seems to receive them, surround them and draw them back into itself.
The circular image near the centre acts like a memory, pool or portal, holding another world within the larger landscape. Around it, plants, birds and symbolic forms accumulate, creating a space that feels both enchanted and uneasy.
The title, Come Closer, is an invitation, but perhaps also a warning. It asks the viewer to move beyond the decorative surface and enter a more ambiguous space, where beauty, desire, nature and unease exist together. The work reflects my ongoing interest in our fragile relationship with the living world, and the idea that we are never as separate from nature as we imagine.
A View of Parliament Hill
Digital painting and Collage, Printed as a six colour Lithograph
This presents London as a living organism rather than simply a collection of buildings. A female figure dominates the composition, but her body is made from trees, ponds, flowers and fragments of parkland. It becomes both landscape and guardian, suggesting that nature is not separate from us but part of our inner life.
A central tree rises through the figure like a nervous system or Tree of Life, partially obscuring the face and replacing individual identity with organic growth. Different seasons coexist across the image, compressing time and turning the landscape into a storehouse of memory and change.
Behind the figure, London’s skyline appears pale and distant beside the vivid natural world. This reverses the usual relationship between city and landscape: architecture seems temporary, while nature feels active and enduring.
A path draws the viewer towards the figure, whose transparent lower body contains flowing water and shadowy reflections. The image becomes a threshold between a real London view and a psychological, dreamlike realm. Both celebratory and uneasy, the work imagines the city as a breathing landscape, beautiful, vulnerable and inseparable from the natural systems that sustain it.
Falling
Digital painting and Collage, Printed as a six colour Lithograph
This work explores the tension between freedom and restraint, and the uneasy choices facing the world today. At its centre, a tumbling bird is caught and bound by a flowing red ribbon. Something normally associated with freedom has become unable to fly.
Below, the landscape seems divided between two possible worlds: one consumed by fire and destruction, the other green, calm and full of life. Smaller, strange details add to the dreamlike atmosphere and suggest that there may be more going on than we first see.
The work grew from an interest in nature, mythology and the way animals have long been used to represent human ideas and emotions. It doesn’t tell a fixed story. Instead, it reflects a feeling many of us may recognise: that we are caught somewhere between destruction and renewal, uncertain about what comes next and how much power we have to change it.
