Imaginedlandscapes and dwellings are populated with beings and invented creatures, telling tales of light and dark. Verdant landscapes carpeted with curious trees and dazzling flowers, provide the backdrop for tiny tales. Characters are an assortment of hybrids, ornaments, toys and my own inventions. Whilst I have stories to tell, I like to leave the viewer to make their own interpretations
