A painting of a 1920s party. — There Will Be No Rest (Even In Our Dreams), Oil on Canvas, 2022.

Double doors open to the loudest part of the manor and the party’s primal cell: the ballroom. The music rises to deafening as DEAN leads onto the floor to join the smiling and uninterested masses.

A painting of two women, sat in dresses, looking at the viewer. — The Blue Hand Points North, Oil on Canvas, 2022.

A painting of three different drinks glasses. One is spilling over the edge of a table. — A Weakness Or A Dream, Oil on Canvas, 2022.
