Eye Mage

I lived in the UK for most of my life and now I am in Australia. I try to take a feminist perspective with my artwork because I feel this world is a facing an huge imbalance where toxic masculinity is causing significant harm to women and girls in many places in the world. As an artist identifying as male, I believe men need to stand up against those other men who destroy in the name of ideology, radical religious and political ideas or other misguided thinking. If there is to be a world religion, it needs to be centred on the Divine centred on a feminine expression. I ultimately believe the Divine is genderless, however for humans with our blinkered vision, we often need things to have a form. The Divine feminine is a wise expression that brings justice and balance, awareness of the environment, the land, the soil, the oceans and all living creatures.

Artistically, I am fascinated with the interplay of light and shade, chiaroscuro and people’s faces.
I consider some of my art to be, perhaps, pagan and coming from a raw essence of spirituality.

I taught art groups at a hospital for several years and my own painting work grew out of this. There is something alchemical about helping others to bring out their inner artist while making one’s own work. Sharing the space with people who are healing through art is a moving experience.
