A Visual Journey
This gallery page brings you on a quick tour of my creative explorations, from the ‘birth’ of Fantasy folk, through my ‘Fit to Fly‘ era (learning to live with the condition M.E./C.F.S.) and finishing up with some new works. I hope you will enjoy the tour, and I look forward to hear from you (via blog or email) if you have any questions or comments.
See the New Beginnings Gallery for work created since I became the proud owner of a studio “The Garden Room”
Below the “flipbook” is a list of titles and a note if the work is available for sale. Also see shop, and I am available for commission work.
