One language, expressed in different forms.

I grew up between worlds.

UK-born, but shaped early in Botswana and South Africa, where different ways of seeing sat side by side. Ancestral story. Animist thinking. Celtic myth. None of it neatly separated.

That stayed with me. It’s part of what I’m still trying to understand through creativity.

The work comes out of memory, dream, and something I can’t quite name. An early encounter that never really left. I’m still exploring what it was.

I trained as a sculptor, then spent years inside the digital world. Design, systems, creative direction. Large organisations. Useful work, but not the centre.

I drifted away from that and came back to this.

Now based off-grid in Aotearoa, I work across image, object, and words. Son of Fire sits at the core of it. Hearth Tales runs alongside. Conversations, mostly, with people doing their own kind of work.

Some pieces are available. Some aren’t.

I’m open to sales, commissions, exhibitions, and collaborations when it fits.

Son of Fire

An ongoing cycle of verse and lore.
Shaped by ancestry, identity,
and the fire of becoming.

What is I?

I think, therefore I am. I meditate, therefore I am not.
