I like to play.
Give me colours, and I’ll make patterns. Give me lines, and I’ll make them swirl. I experiment with many media and see what emerges…
My pictures are a commentary on the world, a reminder to try to see the joy in every moment. Feel the pain, and let it not be the only thing that defines you. Use your intellect, and remember to play.
Each of my collections of paintings are exploring elements of life, especially those elements full of delight. I create in order to explore and share delight, and I hope you will find joy in these pages… Click on the pictures below for more!

Publications
I’ve written:
A short book guiding you through how to find the fae magic of delight in your own heart.
Enchantment in little kisses… week by week mini-adventures and projects to show you how to bring enchantment back into your everyday life.
My writings are featured in:
This contains a piece on my journey into Witchcraft.
I wrote a piece on Rhiannon as a Faery Queen and the relationship between her and horses.
I wrote a short piece on eclecticism in paganism in response to the view that pick-and-mix is the norm.
Each contributor wrote on a particular Goddess, mine? The Faery Queen and why she is a goddess in her own right, as well as an archetype.
I write philosophy too! This anthology contains a piece on Heidegger’s notion of world and why I think art can help us change said world!
