Stories
This page contains images that are inspired by my love of written conversations in the form of novels and poetry. They still share my realistic style, but reflect far more interpretive and fantastical imagery.

A scene worthy of fairies and hidden kings. I love the play of light and darkness that forests offer. That contrast is something a good book can offer too.

What big teeth you have
I have always loved the old tales and fables. Inks allowed me a fluid freedom to create a darker haze in the forest.

The Beautiful Dead
These women were born out of a request to paint something based on a line from Edgar Allan Poe "The death of a beautiful woman is unquestionably the most poetic topic in the world".
What if Death thought a woman was so beautiful he couldn't bare to take her, so he just brought her flowers instead? A seemingly romantic gesture, that results in limbo. Unable to live and unable to leave. While we may not all be the object of Death's admiration, we've all known what it is to feel stuck in that place between where we were and where we will be.

Nymphaea
Water lilies are seen as a flower of resurrection or rebirth. Much like the Moonlight Serenade there is a sense of eternal motion.
