As we're all-too aware, the past few years have been more than a little tough for most people. As far as my art practice was concerned, it gave me the time & space in which to reinvent myself. You see, for many years now, I've been painting works of 'Magic Realism' as a way of venting frustrations when more traditional projects stumbled. During the first lockdown I decided that, if I were to continue painting at all, it would be this style at the exclusion of anything else.

Nothing else mattered: my 'safety valve' would now be my main practice.

And, I have to say, that as the world of my imagining has expanded, with each new picture referencing others in some way, I haven't looked back. I only hope you find as much joy looking at the work, as I've been lucky to find in their creation...
