Reverie Series

The Reverie paintings are a safe space. The images themselves look innocent enough: scenes of nature, a friendly sun and happy flowers, or crunching snow underfoot. The fact is that they carry my worry for my children and the world they’ll inherit. For now, we’re safely fenced off in these peaceful places, unable to make out what lies in the distance, which is obscured by mist.

Reverie

Moths

A warm, yellow sun and sky above the Yorkshire Moors, in bloom with heather. The scene fades off into the distance. A semi-abstract landscape painting.

Cringle Moor Heather

Foliage of plants such as angelica stand stark and tall against the hazy background, by a river or stream. Predominantly soft blue in colour, a peaceful painting.

Respite

Green Bank

A soft background of blues and purples show a sun reflected in a pond or lake of water. Foreground plants are almost silhouetted boldly against the misty scene.

Tempestarii Series

To the Anglo Saxons, Tempestarii were those who could influence the weather and bring about storms. In the modern day, we have tipped the balance of our own climate towards disaster. These paintings, dwelling in both the past and present, express the tension and electricity of a coming storm and the chaos it brings.
