The Painted Page

There are objects known to give off good energy; books and original art are some of them. Being in the presence of both is something special. This series is a combination of bookish nostalgia and artistic echoes, for there are stories we read and then there are stories that stay. 

Seeds of Wonder

Inspired by Dr. Seuss's Lorax.  This piece shows the wonder, infinite imagination, unlimited possibilities and larger than life ideas reading creates.

A combination of 'around the world in 80 days' adventure with the spirit of 'UP' and old world feel of 'Golden Compass'.

Marilyn

This painting echoes the mythical and mystical fantasy genre.  Almost fairy tail-esq.  Think Hans Christian Andersen's Little Mermaid and her sacrifice meets the eerie feel of The Odyssey Sirens.

The Man

The iconic moment in the movie "The Man from Snowy River" Which was based on the poem of the same name by A.B. "Banjo" Paterson.

Destination Unknown

One of the oldest and most famous eerie sea tales: The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, a poem by Samuel T. Coleridge.  Full of atmospheric visuals, the poem has influenced many artists, including Gustave Doré. 

"He prayeth best, who loveth best.  All things both great and small: For the dear God who loveth us, He made and loveth all."

Willow Wisp

The inspiration for this was The Tree of Souls from Avatar.  The highly textured frame fells like moss, like the whole picture is alive from the energy of the sacred tree.
