In these paintings I have been trying to touch on the universal themes of birth, death, the possibility of an afterlife,
and the purpose of our voyage through the mysterious waters of this life.

They have been inspired by mythology; poetry; dreams; spiritualism and other religious and philosophic traditions,
and some of the events in my own life in recent years.

In them I am attempting to find some meaning in the seeming chaos of contemporary life, but also to celebrate
its mysterious and nurturing flow.
