FOLKLORE AND MYTH
The beauty of hares and the magic of the mighty oak |
I often work on vintage and antique books, repurposing them to extend their life in the form of original illustrations, prints and cards. There is always the challenge to create the right interpretation between word and image. I love capturing the personality of a creature, often exaggerating one aspect to accentuate their personality.
Each character has its own backstory and I return again and again to the noble, intelligent and beautiful hare full of symbolism and magic.
The mighty oak tree also provides endless inspiration, with oak leaves and acorns a recurring theme in my ceramics. Signifying strength and wisdom I have stashes of oak leaves in the workshop, you can never have too many oak leaves in your life!
