The concept of Reproduction, Medium size ceramic Jug giving birth to four Baby Jugs. The photo shows the item in its raw condition and will be glazed before the exhibition.
A mixed media collage of a quiet cottage, a home which exists not only as a physical place but as a feeling, suspended between memory and imagination. Surrounded by symbols of growth and wonder. In the dark backdrop a luminous moon overlooks the textured landscape.
This piece is called “A Witch’s Study” It is a collaboration of two of my interests/hobbies, which are miniature making and dark fantasy aesthetics.
This is a small moment in time that captures a story only heard by the heart. Natural dyes and textiles are a medium I love to work with and playing with small pieces like this brings me endless joy, as I play with multiple possibilities. At some point my heart says ‘stop now.’

Doobie Sister -Yellow – presents a close-up of a black and white cow with its contemplative gaze and a casually held joint set against a radiant golden backdrop. Both playful and provocative, the painting transforms a familiar rural icon into a quietly rebellious contemporary figure. Acrylic on board – Double framed
Doobie Sister – Red – presents a black and white cow in an intimate close-up, casually smoking a joint against a vivid red backdrop. A slightly irreverent but playful reflection on ritual and vice, transforming a familiar rural icon into an unexpectedly compelling portrait. Acrylic on Board – Double framed
Doobie Sister – Orange captures a Holstein cow in close-up smoking a joint against a vivid orange field. Equal parts humorous and confrontational, this is a portrait that is both irreverent and strangely dignified. The result is a memorable character who invites laughter, curiosity, and a second look. Acrylic on board – Double framed
