1936 

2025 Watercolor

As a cryptid, the thylacine (Tasmanian tiger) is treated as a mysterious, possibly surviving predator long after its official extinction in 1936. Resembling a large dog with stripes along its back, the thylacine was a marsupial carnivore native to Tasmania, Australia, and New Guinea.

Sightings and tracks reported over decades fuel cryptid lore, with enthusiasts speculating that small populations might still roam remote forests. Its cryptid status blends fact and legend: a real, recently extinct species that continues to haunt the imagination of those fascinated by elusive, hidden wildlife.

Winter Harvest

Jackalope from North American folklore, usually depicted as a jackrabbit with antelope-like horns. Often portrayed in a humorous or whimsical way, it’s said to be elusive, fast, and occasionally mischievous.

Little Devil in the Plums

A winged serpent is a mythical or legendary creature combining features of a snake with wings, allowing it to fly. It appears in various cultures, often symbolizing power, wisdom, or chaos. Examples include the Mesoamerican feathered serpent Quetzalcoatl, the European amphiptere, and other dragons that are more serpentine than lizard-like. Winged serpents can be depicted with bat-like, feathered, or membranous wings.

2025 Watercolor

The Cŵn Annwn, portrayed in these works as being split into two entities – red and white wolves with devil horns, are spectral hounds from Welsh mythology, associated with the otherworldly realm of Annwn. They are often described as white with red ears, or sometimes entirely black, and are said to hunt in packs, their eerie baying signaling death or misfortune.

Death Trip

2021 Watercolor

A white fox, once a cunning trickster spirit, is transformed into a demon crowned with pink antlers. Kestrels circle overhead like vigilant omens, while delicate strands of poisonous nightshade and jimson weed coil around it. The imagery suggests a creature caught between transcendence and peril, where beauty, danger, and transformation blur into myth.

Honey

2019 Watercolor

A dismembered vulture with a halo of honeycomb and moths. Vultures sit in a strange liminal space between life and death–literally picking over the threshold. Across cultures, they’ve been treated less like mere birds and more like messengers, guardians, or unsettling intermediaries.

The Red Berries

2013 Watercolor

The lifecycle of cicadas from nymph to adult transition shown as it splits its nymphal exoskeleton on a branch of ripe red berries. Summer, when the air is filled with their droning chorus, it’s like a veil lifts and something ancient speaks through the trees. A sound that is endless, layered, resonant and hypnotic, serves as a reminder that nature operates on rhythms far beyond human schedules.

Inhale. Exhale. Choke.

2016 Watercolor

A golden hued serpent entwined in a bed of bones and dry grass – the residue of death and the tinder of life at the same time. In many cultures, snakes in such settings are often framed as liminal creatures: part guardian, part omen, part embodiment of raw, cyclical power.

Peach

2017 Watercolor

Mutual assured destruction of both the ecological and mythic. A heron and a snake locked in a conflict where victory is meaningless because the outcome is annihilation for both. The heron’s sharp strike kills the snake, as the snake begins to devour the heron. In mythology, herons often act as liminal beings, creatures balanced between earth, water, and sky. They appear where boundaries blur: marshes, riverbanks, tidal flats… places that aren’t entirely one thing or another. That alone gives them a mystical weight as keeper of thresholds.
