The Winter Drawings

Continuities between human and non-human life. Figures and natural forms share phenotypic echoes, suggesting connection rather than hierarchy. Introspective and symbolic, the works reflect on instinct, vulnerability, coexistence and interdependence. Consider yourself shaped by the same adaptative forces.

Veiw the collection below.

All the drawings can be delivered worldwide with or without framing.

The Sound of Time, Dec 2025

Pencil on cartridge paper, 28x35cm

The collecting magpie silences age, as it reflects on the accumulations of the world, natual and manmade, large and small, fresh and faded.

The Natural World, Dec 2025

Pencil on cartridge paper, 28x35cm

Beneath Every Ship, Jan 2025

Pencil on cartridge paper.

Underlying all things is the female body and most especially when we face storms and fears and hope for safety we wish to go home, to port, to the ground of the universe. The ship is held in the protective arm of the giant woman who lives beneath the waves...simultaneously, the ship is her head, mind, thoughts.

From The Tower, Jan 2025

Pencil on cartridge paper.

Instinct, tenderness, myth. The hare— grounded —anchors the image, while the dreamer reaches and drifting flowers move like thoughts across its surface. Elements overlap without hierarchy, as memory and feeling do, forming a space where human vulnerability meets animal intuition. The collage resists a single reading, instead inviting the viewer int
