Writer, illustrator and short film maker
I make dream-inspired artwork because it's the way I explore the psychic charge of a dream. I use a mixture of dream techniques, from Jung to shamanic practices, to work the dream, and after I respond to my investigation by creating poetry and illustration. I use these elements to create film poems, or experimental shorts. My films and images allow me to enter the psychic charge of the archetypes in my dreaming, and receive insight into current issues, past hauntings and future possibilities. My works are my attempt to share the liminal experience of dreaming with others.

What happens when your soul is captured by a trickster and stored in a chest freezer? The Little Girl from 'Liminal' retrieves a soul and sews it back into Melusine's body.
This is the latest in my dream series. It is naïve and gruesome, exploring what happens when you suffer from soul loss and a part of you is locked away, frozen in time.
Newly released and awaiting news on festival or exhibitions.

'So Happy. Together.'
A group of singers find friendship and 'lock and ring' happiness. Together.
My first film, I got a grant to make a film about a crazy passion and I discovered the world of barber shop singing, As the title suggests, the physical, emotional and mental health benefits of singing together are now well documented and this group are certainly so happy, together.
