Tableau - still scenes, or pictures, that tell a story

I grew up making images - drawing, painting, printmaking. And I have always loved stories. I have been working on these card illustrations for a long time, developing simple images that tell simple stories about elemental aspects of life: finding joy in transitory beauty, peace in nature, the pleasures of relationships. I have created characters based on my now elderly cat, Pico, and his much younger and more naive dog-friend, Finnegan, to explore these themes.

I love the design aesthetics of both the Art Nouveau and the Arts and Crafts movements and by Japanese block prints. I am also influenced by the local landscape and by natural events - the winter of the Great Gray Owl irruption for example - and find ways of incorporating these natural occurrences to tell small stories of life's chances and wonders and mysteries.
