The Pillar
Oil and mixed media on canvas. 60 × 60 cms
The pillar was the answer to a question about how I felt about a certain aspect of my life. So it’s a representation of decaying, old, forgotten, left to rot.
There is found materials, it is almost craggy, like it’s been around for ages and it’s rough around the edges. It kind of evokes ivy or an overgrown mess of an ancient, dilapidated, forgotten about, pillar.
How has this been forgotten and what can I do to pay more attention to it?

Motherpiece
This is Motherpiece It’s really inspired by the wheel of the year and ancient kind of witchy female power from the 16th and 17th centuries.
The different colours representing different
times of the year and the different pagan rituals that would have been performed.
That time when women’s power was really severely curtailed and there was a massive femicide across Europe. So it evokes that kind of grounded sense of the seasons and the natural cycles.
And it’s called Motherpiece because it’s almost like our ancestry from these important women who have gone now but still kind of live on.
Ancient power.

This is Soul (2023) Many of my paintings are a bit like a snapshot of my soul, and this one is a very obvious snapshot of my soul when I was dealing with loss and betrayal and just feeling really sad.
There’s quite a lot of grief - lots of dark colours and blues. But then there’s a kind of a bit of light. There’s almost like a kind of butterfly thing where where the red is a bit emblematic of butterflies and it’s kind of trying to see the hope and the light within the situation.

This is Daughterpiece (2025). It’s the Daughter of Motherpiece painted a few years earlier (Day 11)
It is very thick oil paint in childlike, delightful colours: yellow, pink, blue and bronze.
It’s meant to evoke the idea of girlish glee and sense of play. A sense of funness, like a kind of sparkliness, it’s got excitement and wonder and wanting to explore all good things in the world in.
A maiden painting evoking joy.

Black Moon Lilith
Oil and dried flowers on canvas, 80cms x 80cms.
This is Black Moon Lilith (2025) it is an integration painting.
A lot of the time my paintings depict a process of self actualisation. So, So like you can see over the like 20 years I’ve been.
painting you can see this evolution.
This painting is about the integration of your shadow and Black Moon Lilith is the astrological point in where you’re Integrating your shadow.
It has this bright yellow and this really dark blue, it has gold, it has dried flowers - these spray painted black dried flowers.
I really wanted to create a really stark feeling between this bright yellow sunshiny feeling and the gold and then the dark aspects and this green merging of these two colours and just depict the actual real time processing of shadow work.
