Dear My Dog

My love for thee
Is far older than
The rings of Saturn
Or the Greek god pan

The years we count
Upon the earth
Don’t even come close
To this love’s birth

And always it will
Space time traverse,
Boundless as galaxy
Or infinite universe…

Worlds and the worlds within worlds have always captured my imagination. From the nonsensical dream worlds we try to cling to and recall when waking, to the natural world, imagined worlds and worlds that can only be seen under the lens of a microscope or from afar by a telescope. So perhaps, this is why within my own illustrations, I’m always striving to create a world filled with nature and magic. A place that is joyful, whimsical and welcoming.

I wonder too, if childhood is a world, a place, a Neverland. A chaotic place, full of not only adventure, noise and clashing colour, but also of gentleness, silent absorption and wonder.

We trip from sleep
so long and deep
to tiptoe on the stars...
and maybe one day
as we leap
We’ll find ourselves
on Mars...
