Inspired by the poignant phrase from The Seven Skins of Esther Wilding, this painting explores the delicate interplay between the seen and unseen, the known and the unknown. Layered with ethereal hues and soft, flowing forms, "Veils Between Worlds" symbolises the hidden narratives that weave through our lives—myths, memories, and the subtle whispers of grief that accompany our journeys. The veils represent the layers of existence, inviting viewers to reflect on the stories that shape us and the connections that transcend time and space.

This painting captures the essence of a woman whose strength is intertwined with nature. Waves of raspberry and plum flow through her hair, representing the sea’s depth and fluidity. The botanical shapes weaving through her locks symbolise the connection between femininity and the natural world, echoing the tales of women who have navigated life’s tumultuous waters. "The Sea in Her Hair" speaks to the resilience and adaptability of women, reflecting their ability to embrace change while remaining anchored in their identity.

For me this painting radiates warmth and nostalgia.  The colours evoke the gentle transition between summer and autumn, capturing the essence of a softer kind of summer, where the sun hangs lower in the sky. "The Golden In Between" reflects the fleeting beauty of this in-between season, reminiscent of childhood summers spent in England.

With vivid colours and organic shapes, this painting reflects how nature, like women, flourishes in its own way—unrestricted, unapologetic, and fiercely alive. The wildflower, symbolic of freedom and resilience, grows where it wills, thriving in unexpected places. This piece honours the woman who embraces her wildness, her independence, and her power, reminding us that beauty is often found in the unplanned and untamed paths we follow.

This flower reflects a woman in her element—radiant and unrestrained, much like the sun itself.

The woman, depicted as the "Forest Queen," embodies the wisdom and strength of ancient forest guardians like the Celtic goddess Flidais, known as the protector of the woods and for her wonderful hair.

The trees, leaves, and forest creatures surrounding her represent the deep connection between women and nature, reflecting the role of protector, caregiver, and wise guide in the cycles of life.
