"I am an originator; my images come from my own visions and imagination. I admire many of the Pre-Raphaelites and Victorian faerie painters who worked in a similar way; using traditional skills to picture that which cannot be photographed.

If you asked me to define my purpose I would say – to illuminate the subtle realms, to share my vision"
