2005 – present
These paintings examine the endless potential for mystery in the world around us. I grew up fascinated by myths, folk tales & ghost stories, an instinctive human response to tell uncanny stories about our surroundings, to see them in a different light. Ordinary places that you might not usually notice can suddenly fill you with wonder or a disquieting unease or both.
