Here and Now

In this theatrical triptych, the Forest is a magical space of Illusion v Reality: Titania, Oberon, Puck and magical symbols are visible. Wander round a Wood at Midsummer - but remember, it's ruled by Faeries where the laws of the Human World don't apply!

In folklore, woods offer sanctuary: wise guardians appear. A little boy, walking with his father, meets a roe deer at pivotal times which, with fox, hare, owl, (wisdom, security, protection), swallows and butterflies (transformation and hope) guides him.

An homage to this ancient Portuguese city, the Tagus winds its way to the sea round houses tilting downwards. My interpretation of Robert Delaunay's “Le Portuguesa” stands opposite iconic cockerels whilst symbolic trams rattle along its cobbled streets

You are being gently held and embraced by whoever/whatever you feel is surrounding and protecting you.… The interpretation of this painting is yours

A massive dark-blue bear after a challenging lifetime, practices compassion, patience and love in his mountain cave. Here, protected in a symbolic snow globe, he’s surrounded by beloved teddy bears, iconic images of enduring love, comfort and compassion.

Once regarded as gods, these mysterious and magical creatures maintain a secret autonomy, a mysticism which intrigues… their rhythmic purring and quiet, graceful dignity comforts and heals. They are still sacred companions on The Path...

In the morning mist, a young boy feeding ducks evolves into a quiet reflection on ‘Imagination’. The carefree “inner child” is every adult - for “keys” to unlock this are everywhere. Time passes: the symbolic Heron is patiently waiting - and protecting.
