Welcome to a special place where nature, inspiration and wonder can intertwine and connect in art.

Where striking art pieces whisper gently to those who can see, feel and appreciate their own sensory response.

The art effect is uplifting, calming and meditative.

These stunning art pieces bring a soothing campfire magic vibe into homes helping to create cosy interior spaces of contemplation and reflection; conversation pieces.

My art comes from a place outside of time, a still point where time stands on its edge; where the camp fire can gently burn away under a sky filled with stars and moon.

Experiencing and celebrating the elements and the senses first hand is always my primary aim when making my Drawn to Fire photographs. I seek to “capture an ancient light” by immersing myself within an improvised artists studio in the woods where I can become meshed with the location in a way that only camping out allows. Spending the night keeping the campfire going, preserving the different light forms within a composition, an alignment of the light is merged into an artistic and meditative focal point.

I am now releasing prints from my Drawn to Fire: Ritual fire drawing and photography portfolios.

Performances around campfires in remote places explore the mark-making potential of fire in the darkness, the elements and the senses.

When I make this work I depend heavily on my bushcraft and camping skills just being able to dwell in the woods all night long, observe the changes in the location and capture an ancient light.

Remember the words: nature, inspiration and wonder.
