‘Into the Unknown’ - oil on wood, 14x14x0.5” (35cm x 35cm x 1.5cm) , 2026

Imagine finding your peaceful resting place deep within a secluded forest. I’ve always been captivated by fairy rings of mushrooms, the sunlight filtering through the trees, and the sense of being transported to ethereal, magical realms. Robins represent rebirth, perseverance, and the transition from one life phase to another. Fairy Rings, or mushroom rings, symbolize liminal spaces that connect the mortal world with the supernatural, symbolizing transformation and hidden wisdom. In Western culture, death is often seen as a frightening unknown, but to me, it signifies a transition to the next great adventure. I aimed to evoke that sense of magic and mystery.
