For over a decade, I’ve worked as a freelance artist, using my practice to explore the connections between ecology, ancient history, and cultural memory.
Now, thanks to the support of people like you - through commissions, social media, and now this shop - I’m able to share my work in the form of high-quality printed products.
The profit from each online sale goes directly into my ongoing research, which seeks to reconcile the modern world with the often overlooked aspects of ancient wisdom.
This journey has taken me through Mesoamerica, Europe, and the Caucasus, where I’ve studied anthropology, symbolism, and their ties to what I call a “spiritual ecology".
This research continues to grow into a body of work that supplements my art practice, entitled, 'Journey to the Centre of the Memory Palace' - consisting of essays, photographs, and resources, published via Patreon.
By supporting my work, you’re not only bringing unique art into your home, but also helping sustain research dedicated to reconnecting with your ancient landscape, through story, symbol, and psyche.
