Paintings
in
Ink & Motion
Original alcohol inks on Yupo paper,
brought into motion as animated loops:
living portals of memory, myth and transformation.
My work moves through six bodies:
an unfolding alchemical series,
figures crossing transforming landscapes,
mythology,
the ocean's deep tides,
deep-space nebulae,
and the mood-oriented Glow collections.
Each piece, made by hand in my studio,
has award-winning editorial practices
meeting pigment and light that refuses to sit still.
Transmutation:
The Animated Series
An unfolding series of alcohol ink paintings and animated loops embracing the old alchemical arc.
Each painting catches colour at the exact moment it changes state.
Ink poured on Yupo behaves like transformation itself:
it cannot be forced, only invited.
This is the marriage of my painting practice and my animation editing career, united together.
Currently in production.
Landscapes
A figure moves through a landscape that transforms as it goes…
Terrain answering feeling, the outer world mapping an inner passage.
These mixed-media and alcohol ink works grew from a walking labyrinth I built stone by stone in the Joshua Tree desert, and from years of studying how the body carries what the face cannot reveal.
Mythos:
Goddesses, Coasts & Ancient Stories
Tributes to the beloved Mythic world, painted in vibrant inks and shimmering detail.
I partly grew up in the English countryside with ancient stories in the ground;
painting them is a way of going home.
Oceans:
Paintings of the Sea's Deep Tides
Having lived my life on three coastlines - England, New Zealand, California -
the sea is the one country all of them share.
The Ocean Soul works are painted the way the ocean behaves:
ink surging, pooling and pulling back, salt-light breaking over depth.
Below the surface, everything slows; colour sinks through turbulent layered waters.
Cosmic:
Paintings of Galaxies & Deep Space
Deep space, revealed and rendered in ink.
The Alcohol behaves like the cosmos in miniature: pigment blooming into nebulae,
metallics scattering like star fields stretching into the unknown.
Cosmic works paint the universe from the inside outward:
galaxies swirling in iridescent hues, a dying star becoming a ceremony of light,
the vastness that makes you feel both very small and yet completely infinite.
Select pieces weave in authentic celestial photography from the Hubble Telescope:
blending reality and abstraction.
The Glow Collections:
Radiant, Mystic & Ethereal
These works are curated differently from the rest of the portfolio:
not by myth or series, but by who they're for.
Each Glow mood is matched to a personality:
Radiant, in hot pink, sunlit gold, and deep violet, for the ones who lead the energy in a room.
Mystic, all chiaroscuro and unsolved mystery, for the deep divers and comfortable-in-shadow.
Ethereal, dawn-light and mist dissolving like breath on cold glass, for those who steady everyone else.
The original paintings shown here anchor each mood,
and each mood continues as a collection of archival prints and animated loops.
