Voyage to the Murliss Sea
Love is like a mysterious ship that can carry us on a voyage of the imagination.

Gentle music serenades the travelers on this mystical vessel as the wind wafts through the harp on the lion figurehead.

Within its shell masts the ship carries an exotic land, while its hold overflows with many gifts which are like love, filled with magic and beyond any expectation. View







Daughter of the Deep
Mortals hold seashells to their ear to hear the sounds of the seas and imagine life inthe deep waters below. Perhaps a mermaid would look into a seashell to see and hear the sights and sounds of the earth above.

All of us can embark on a magical voyage throughout the universe using our imaginations to carry us along. View

Tree of Life
As human kind emerges from the mists of time to enter a new millenium, hope abounds that all nations will be united in a friendship and love.

Doves of peace hover over our planet as a "helpful hand" guides the younger hand of humanity that strives to learn and grow.

Rainbow hands reach up on either side of the tree, symbolizing need to protect our beautiful world forever. View







Mer Angel
This mythical creature is a state of blissful repose as waterfalls cascade from her hair into a watery world of lily trees and river horses galloping free down flowery slopes.

The quite beauty of the moment and the company of her own thoughts bring her comfort and a sense of peace. View

Shared Treasure
To each one of us, the magical seashell whispers a different ocean song. Some of us hear simply the soft comforting hush of currents rushing by.

Others see in their mind's eye images of little mermaid children playing with dolphins and glistening shell chariots racing by, drawn by sea unicorns and guarded by none other than King Neptune himself.

Let each one of us listen to the magic song we hear and share it with those we love. View

Magpie Fairy
I enjoyed painting this work, which I think of as the "Magpie Fairy" because just as the bird is attracted to bright shiny objects which he collects, so to my fairy has been attracted to various everyday objects. Discarded as rubbish, or accidentally lost, she finds them irresistible and adorns herself with them. Obviously because she is very tiny, the objects are depicted larger than life. I had great fun deciding which objects may have been discarded by humans and would be small enough and interesting enough for a fairy to collect. As you can see there are many items, from safety pins and paper clips to stamps and a bottle top, changed from the original wording "Dry" to read "Fey", obviously she felt it was more appropriate, in addition to many forest items such as acorns and oak leaves, she has nuts for rings and of course, last Christmas's broken 'fairy' light bulbs for earrings.Not a traditional fairy but rather a streetwise', happy-go-lucky, modern fairy.

Spirit of Flight
The Spirit of Flight, the force responsible for the powers of movement of the wind and air, has gathered around her all the flying things she loves.

Birds, insects, flying fish, swirling leaves, seed of dandelions and sycamore trees, butterflies and fairies all dance around her in a grand array of wild free motion. View

Time Flies
As the spirit of wild flowers, wrapped in her countryside cloak, gently blows soft breezes to encourage the 'nature's clocks' to spread their seeds across the land, each little seed is transformed into a tiny fairy.The soft down becomes their delicate wings as they are borne on the wind to far off places to carry out their vital task, spreading the seed of hope far and wide.A new generation is 'borne' on the wind to continue life's cycle, as it has been, and will be for all time.Often when children see a dandelion seed go floating by they exclaim in great excitement "Look! A fairy - a fairy"! View

Leda and the Swan
According to Greek legend Leda was Queen of Sparta, married to King Tyndareus. One day she was bathing in a stream when a handsome swan swam up. The swan was Zeus in disguise. He became Leda's lover and she produced a beautiful blue egg, from which were hatched four children, two belonging to Zeus and two to her husband.Zeus's children were Helen, the most beautiful woman on earth, for whom the Trojan war was fought and the hero Polydeuces. The children of Tyndareus were Clymnestra and castor. View
