1 DAPHNE

“This piece is inspired by the Greek myth of Daphne who escaped Apollo by transforming into a laurel tree.”

2 SPHINX

“I love science fiction and fantasy art from the 60s and 70s. I tried to capture the mysterious feeling and lurid look of that era.”

3 BRASSICA

“While painting this I enjoyed playing with the subtle blues and yellows, and the satin-like texture of the head of cabbage.”

4 SUB ROSA
