Horses are a common subject in my artworks, intertwined with the intriguing sagas and myths that have nestled into my frame of reference. 

Current projects are: totem, runehorses, oubliettes, unboxing.

totem

sculptures inspired by horses

With totems I hope to create a point in space and time where humanity connects with the world of horses. A moment where we focus our thoughts, breath and our feelings to find ourselves not human, not horse, but connected.

I am working on a deck of cards based on Anglo Saxon runes brought to England around the 5th century by Anglo Frisians.

artist statement

I  immerse myself in the dual worlds of equine companionship and creative expression.

​

Drawing from a background in theatredesign, my artistic journey is a tapestry of myth and narrative.  Each piece I create is a snapshot in time, a moment suspended in existence, inviting viewers to embark on their own interpretative odyssey through the realms of our imagination. 

​

My work is steeped from a rich tapestry of stories, history, and culture, with a particular affinity for the folklore of Scandinavian and Anglo Saxon traditions. Central to my artistic journey is the concept of 'inbetweenness'-the liminal spaces where transitions blur the boundaries between light and darkness, life and afterlife, humanity and nature. The Dutch term 'schemering,' encompasses this the best. I admire the state of horses who effortlessly navigate that fluidity of the present moment, forever suspended between what happened a moment ago and what will happen next. 

​

Through my art, I hope to evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity, inviting viewers to embark on a journey of introspection. Whether through my imaginative illustrations or naive paintings, I aspire to ignite imaginings, pulling those who engage with my work, into my artistic view of the world.

oubliettes

oubliettes

tiny paintings of cavehorses

Feral ponies captured in caves and holes I create with spun cotton and paper. These are tactile works of art for even the smallest homes.  Oubliette is French for an underground dungeon. The literal meaning of the word is a forgotten place.

unboxing

artworks 

 I have a hard time throwing away boxes, especially the nice ones. They intrigue me. They can go from a three dimensional item that can contain a plethora of items to a flat surface that holds no secrets.  See all the artworks that contain this theme.
