My drawings take various forms. Some are pure design works, some are interpretations derived from Celtic mythological legend, yet others are intensely personal. "Recovery" is based on my own recovery from a brain aneurism in 2002 and as a tree-of-life image, it is a work which looks to the future as my journey continues. "Tree of Life" was the first piece of work I completed after my illness and was done as a get well card to a friend. The subject matter of "The Watcher" would seem, at first to be somewhat maudlin, as it deals with my feelings regarding the death of my father. However, it represents the cyclical journey to another place to continue the process of humankind's eternal spiritual growth.
