Holy Trinity

I took this when I visited Stratford-upon-Avon; it’s the Church of the Holy Trinty where William Shakespeare is buried.  It is a beautiful Church in a beautiful area

Jar of Hearts

I drew this after listening to the song ‘Jar of Hearts’

Submerged Forest…

I took this on Holiday in Italy along the coast.  I have read up on lost lands and submerged forests and I find the whole thing fascinating (and magical). I’ve looked up pictures taken in places like Ynyslas and Borth in Wales but had never noticed anything myself when I had been near the coast (maybe because I mainly go to pebble beaches, would you find them there(?))… I was quite excited when I saw this… It’s the simple things in life

Upon the Cliffs

I love the coast and often look up images of the British coastline.

On trips to Ireland I used to wander the tops of the cliffs near my grandparents house in Mayo and wander the Quay in Kilmore in Wexford.  Both places are so peaceful and sometimes quite haunting.

I was thinking about taking a trip to Cornwall when I started doodling… this is what I ended up with.  I was also listening to Roaming by Ruth Notman quite a lot around this time.

I never did go to Cornwall…

Inside a cave

The whole area is breath taking… this is just a piece of what the Blue Lagoon in Malta has to offer

Romeo & Juliet

I drew this about 8 or 9 years ago, I didn’t know where the drawing was going when I started it so I put it aside for a couple of days.  I had a bit of a clear out and found an old calendar which I got in a limited edition Romeo & Juliet video gift set (I had received for a birthday); I played the song from the film by Des’ree and finished it later that day with Romeo & Juliet on my mind

Daydreamer

I drew an eye staring into nothing, she looked like she was daydreaming so I decided to draw what she could ‘see’

Sea ladys at sunset

I drew this after I spent the day looking up mythical creatures.

Mythology, folklore and legends are things that I have always been interested in and find that they have an influence in most of the drawings I do.

I drew this late one night when I couldn’t sleep…

Open Fire

My mum was talking about open fires and how she would like a picture of one.  I couldn’t find one, so I made one
