In this painting titled 'The Journey' is a tale about trees. Fallen over a river inlet, a tree sits like a bridge. A vertical branch grows up over the water and out of this fallen tree - or is it a separate young tree? On one side of the crossing is a tall tree holding a nest between its lower branches, and within this nest sits an egg. The roots of the trees seem almost leg like, and although rooted to the ground appear to be walking. At first sight this a painting of a landscape. At second sight its vegetation comes to life, telling a story of a family of trees who embark upon a journey carrying new life. |

Three trees come together along the banks of a stream. A young tree leans over toward an adult tree like a child might seek refuge in a parent. Across the bank is a slightly shorter tree gesturing across. Is he walking? No their roots a surely planted to the ground. 'Family Trees' is a playful title that mixes figure and landscape. |

'Anima mundi' is a pure ethereal spirit thought to animate all matter. Within this work the fiery spirit of the bird is being released from anthropomorphically gesturing trees rooted to an almost pregnant undulating earth. |

Mother Earth, 2010
Digital Giclee on watercolour paper
56.2 x 75 cm
edition of 50
Within my work titled 'Mother Earth' three trees come together along the banks of a stream. Each tree, rooted to an almost pregnant undulating earth, gestures anthropomorphically. Down the centre runs the life giving waters nurturing this fecund landscape. These feminine symbols combine to embody the mother archetype. |

Mother and Child, 2009
Digital Giclee on watercolour paper
31.5 x 23 cm
edition of 50
Within this work titled 'Mother and Child' is found an example of the mother archetype. Depicted are two trees in a landscape, one smaller and younger, the other large and mature. The trees are rooted to an almost pregnant, undulating earth. Each tree, whilst static, appears to be momentarily gesturing to each other - suggesting an anthropomorphic quality. The younger tree spreads out its branching arms with a hugging embrass, while the mature tree leans forward with a protecting accetpance. Together, these entwining trees and feminine symbols combine to personify the landscape and reveal the mother archetype.
