Drawing inspiration from mythology, current events, science fiction and personal history my most recent work grows from a fascination with the ways in which humans interact with the natural world. In my paintings I propose imagined, fantastical futures. In some, humans have returned to a harmonious and survival based mode of living that draws on sustainable practices of early mankind. They hunt, fish and gather with careful respect for the landscape around them. In another more post apocalyptic future nature has taken its revenge on mankind and turned itself back into a hostile, overgrown jungle where beauty and danger comingle and evidence of previous human existence is slowly sinking back beneath the weeds.
