At first glance the pronounced objects within the work stand out; beautiful and distinctive women, instruments, flowers and animals, however within seconds you find yourself captivated by the magic of each individual stroke of oil. The pieces evoke emotions in the viewer that lead you into a world of fantasy, whilst you consider the narrative behind each piece.
