Living on the coast my work often reflects the moods of changing weather,
together with the physicality and the spirituality of such places I try to evoke
and capture this essence.

This website reflects a variety of work including illustrations I have made while working on my MA in Authorial Illustration at Falmouth University.
​
​
​I have always told stories in my work, some times hidden and some times in clear view. These stories touch on themes from the sea, both natural and social history are now rooted in my work. I have been exploring our maritime past and the effects
on whale populations. The work was presented in the 2022 MA show at Falmouth University.​

'The old whale and the deep blue sea' is an illustrated poem about a whale hunt told from the whale's point of view. Over the past year this poem has been the centre of my developing work and I have now created a 'dummy book' for submission. ​​​
​
I have undertaken research which formed a thesis into the early days of whaling. This formed a foundation and investigation into the social history of a British whaling town, Whitby on the east coast of Yorkshire, spanning from the middle ages to the 19th century. And a good stating point for the stories I tell. Stories of the sea, of love and loss.

Faith Hope and Charity a Work in Progress
​​
This Oil Paint has taken some time to develop and is unashamedly a 'faith' painting that reflects my own personal christian faith and relationship with Yeshuah (Jesus) Messiah. It is full of symbolism and hidden meaning. This painting has changed and grown in both design and will continue to evolve. (I use the word loosely) In many ways it is a first. I don't often paint faith subjects. But this is a transformative moment for me. I am employing Turners attitude in moving objects around that are somewhere other than in the vista he is looking at. More about the painting as it develops. Streached Canvas size is 100cm x 50cm
The story of the Mermaid of Zennor
and Mathew Trewella
It is about the need to be loved and the search for the one soul mate. For Mathew was at a loss when it came to choosing his.​
This work follows the original tail. And gives a poetic voice to the characters in the story.
Currently I have now completed the story in a poetic form.
The work of illustrating the poem is the next stage. The aim is to illustrate and make a number of hand made additions.
