The Gate of Memory
Acrylic on Canvas
76cm x 101cm
2025
Step through. The stories are still alive here.
The Gate of Memory marks the beginning of a journey through spirit and time, inviting you to step beyond the ordinary and enter a landscape where history, legend, and imagination intertwine.
The stones belong to time. The forest, keeper of stories, a witness to human passage, and a living presence that endures long after civilizations fade belongs to spirit.

The Fae Beyond the Veil
Acrylic on Canvas
76cm x 101cm
2026
Where the forest deepens, the veil grows thin
Deep within the shadowed forest dwell strange and ancient beings, half spirit, half memory, emerging from bark, root, and darkness. Neither entirely human nor wholly creature, these forest sprites belong to an older world — one shaped by folklore, whispered stories, and the primal imagination. Their almost alien forms evoke the mystery of nature itself: beautiful, unknowable, and beyond ordinary understanding.
In Celtic and woodland mythology, such beings were often believed to inhabit the spaces between worlds, appearing only to those who wandered far enough beneath the trees. In The Fae Beyond the Veil the forest is a living realm filled with unseen presences and forgotten magic.

Moonfire Rebirth
Acrylic on Canvas
76cm x 101cm
2026
From destruction comes renewal; from memory, transformation
Drawn from ancient legends of the immortal firebird, the Phoenix emerges from a sacred tree beneath the moon. The tree is a living bridge between earth and sky, memory and renewal. Fire is not an agent of destruction but of transformation, marking the eternal cycle of death, regeneration, and return that runs through both mythology and nature.

The Eternal Watcher
Acrylic on Canvas
76cm x 101cm
2025
The Eternal Watcher draws upon the ancient figure of the Green Man, a powerful and often unsettling presence woven through Celtic mythology and medieval folklore. Emerging from tangled leaves, bark, and shadow, he embodies the relentless cycle of nature — growth, decay, death, and renewal. The Watcher has witnessed worship, destruction, abandonment, and the slow severing of humanity’s bond with the natural world. He is no benevolent guardian. He carries anger, warning, and judgement, as though the forest itself has grown weary of humanity’s forgetting.

Into the Forbidden Forest
Acrylic on Canvas
40cm x 81cm
2025
Inspired by the world of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and the ominous command to “follow the spiders,” this painting explores the Forbidden Forest as a place of mystery, fear, and hidden revelation. Beneath the dark canopy, the forest becomes a realm where mythic creatures dwell beyond the boundaries of ordinary understanding, echoing the ancient tradition of forests as places of trial and transformation. The story draws upon archetypal woodland mythology — the dangerous path, the shadowed wilderness, and the confrontation with the unknown.

Where the Lamp Still Burns
Acrylic on Canvas
41cm x 80cm
2026
Inspired by The Chronicles of Narnia, this painting captures the iconic image of the lamppost and doorway that mark the passage between the ordinary world and the enchanted realm of Narnia. Standing illuminated within the quiet forest, the lamppost becomes a symbol of wonder, discovery, and the timeless invitation to step beyond reality into the world of myth and imagination.
Where the Lamp Still Burns reflects power of stories to awaken curiosity and guide us toward places where imagination, myth, and spirit continue to exist beyond the boundaries of everyday life.
