preservation
This series of paintings provides a chance to reflect on the importance of heritage and to question the validity of the argument for sweeping all aside in the name of progress.
Many of us care deeply, we think we don't have a voice to articulate the depth of our concerns, but so much has changed recently. Even the simple act of signing an online petition, knowing there are others who feel the same, can make a difference and help us overcome our sense of futility.

relief prints
A series of prints reflecting local scenes and typical views in the Algarve. Individually hand tinted with acrylic glazes, each limited edition print is unique.
commissions
Typeface
i spent some time earlier in the year designing a western alphabet based on the principles of Islamic script (in the style of Riq'ha calligraphy). A wonderfully meditative process and a technical challenge, which has already been successfully used in a commission. I will be uploading the complete fount in
the near future.
Hybiscus
A more traditional approach for a more traditional client! I've been wanting to further develop my acrylic glazing technique and had the opportunity to do so when approached by a client who wanted something to brighten her day!

how does it feel
to be judged?
compassion has been swamped by a
tidal wave of indifference and self interest. The braying of the mob increases, fanned by media hysteria. The voice of reason has been drowned out, but is not dead. This work is a reaction to the extreme and ugly face of the zeitgeist using language that can be understood by those who are always 'right'.
