"Horses in Colour" is a richly layered mixed-media series that explores the noble form of the horse through multiple dimensions of texture and symbolism. Each piece is built through successive layers of colour and technique, incorporating elements inspired by Native American horse paint symbols. The works are created through a complex process of application and reduction - laying down color, distressing, scraping away, and reapplying - creating depth through both physical texture and visual archaeology.

The pieces combine stenciled forms with free-flowing liquid acrylics, while incised marks and relief patterns create a compelling interplay between surface and depth. Delicate line work weaves through the layers, sometimes emerging from beneath, sometimes flowing over the surface, resulting in works that feel both ancient and contemporary. Each horse emerges from its richly worked background as both a physical presence and a carrier of symbolic meaning.

An evolving dialogue with the equine form.

“Wire Horses” is a series of mixed-media paintings that capture the ethereal nature of horses in motion. Created through a dynamic process of layered acrylics, reactive inks, and dyes, each piece emerges through an intuitive technique involving colour washing, palette knife work, and delicate line work applied with a needle bottle applicator.  

The dreamlike quality of these works is enhanced by tiny riders who appear to be carried safely through abstract landscapes of vibrant colour. Each horse seems to materialise from and dissolve into its environment, suggesting a realm where memory, imagination, and reality interweave. Pieces like "Fishing for Polar Bears," "Forest Fishers," "Gentle Spirits," and "Light Dancing" invite viewers into spaces where conventional boundaries blur and transform.
