My alchemical artworks are abstract and conceptual expressions of the science manifesting reality. They are intended to convey alchemy in art, in that every piece of art effects a change in the viewer and user. Each piece is has an underlying purpose that is hinted at in their titles; they are tools for connecting into with you Mind for healing, guidance, inspiration and enjoyment.
Every geometric shape or pattern has a unique purpose in 'shaping' reality. When used deliberately and filled with emotive colours they have a dynamic effect that resonates with the viewer. An additional layer of vitality is included by using mixed media and specific materials, such as ground crystals or metallic leaf. This is an alchemical mix, where the intent, process, tools, materials and symbolism are essential ingredients of the overall piece.

Archetypal symbolism, especially sacred geometry, is my passion. I am an international author, artist of conceptual and abstract art, speaker and, more recently, a board game designer. Using a variety of accessible methods, such as guided meditation and board games, I enjoy sharing the inherent possibilities of numbers, shapes and colours to effect very personal changes, through their use as symbols and tools in spirituality and self development practices.
Numerate and creative I have a Joint Honours Degree in Mathematics and Management Sciences and MSc in Marketing. While at university I continued to develop my artistic abilities and have maintained my multi-disciplinary skills since then. In my early career I spent many years in international marketing, during which time I was published on several occasions. More recently I have devoted over 20 years to research and write The Gateway Series (titles include 'Gateway to the Heavens' and 'The Hidden Geometry of Life', both with Watkins Publishing Ltd, available in various languages and as e-books) and exploring alchemical art.
