Full Pink Moon โ€“ 2nd April

A circle held, a life unfolding This card is built around a circle. A continuous pattern, interwoven and unbroken โ€” something ancient, something steady. I painted it in metallic tones so it catches the light, sitting against a deep indigo wash that feels like night settling in. At the centre, a small cluster of pink… Continue reading Full Pink Moon โ€“ 2nd April

Midwinter: tending the quiet places

Art Cards for the turning year. Iโ€™m sitting in my studio looking out at a bare tree and a dormant garden. Everything feels paused. The borders are stripped back, the ground is resting, and the shapes of things are suddenly clear without their leaves. Itโ€™s a view that feels honest at this time of year… Continue reading Midwinter: tending the quiet places
