Today heading off to Frome for the first market of the season. A long day ahead so grounding myself with a bit of finishing work on the little Storyteller piece … lots more layers to go to deepen the background and detail the animals and the storyteller. Ink, Watercolours and Pencil

How I imagine I would live if I could 😁

An old painting but still one of my favourites. Brigid holds the spark, returning light after the long dark winter

WIP Priestess of Avalon

Abot of a vid experiment so sorry about the production value. Some WIPs from my latest project.

Some of the new work ready for watercolour washes... good to see months of work finally taking form, 20+ pieces so far 😌

Three new pieces for one of the poems for the Queens of Avalon book… the different faces of the spirit of the moor, the Granite King … I am liking these a lot so far, sometimes the sketches of intention can be the most evocative and strong, this is how I feel about these 😊

Some pics I found while scrolling my photos, because I miss the sun and am needing some colour

Loving this piece, it will be going with two others in a triple goddess triptych

Back home

Moon bow last night 😁

Imbolc is coming and we celebrate the incremental changes as we look forward to the growing season and days of light. This piece is called "Spirits of Light"

Today I wail with the Banshee, tomorrow I will stand up again and scream my rage. Love and support for the resistance in America, Iran, Afghanistan, Myanmar, Ukraine and all the other places in the world where injustice, strife and subjugation rule the people.

#forestfriday This was inspired by Hembury Woods, Dartmoor 💚🌳💚

Between the rising mists and the coming rain clouds there was a brief magick moment of sun.

A little homage to the coming Chinese New Year ... Fire Horse - The Chase for Rhiannon

This piece was created for the Duelling Dragons book and is based on the myth of the Lady of the Lake "So, in half-light, By day and night She ruled a nether-world" Words by Sean Mychael Rice

As it is a time needing heroes, I am posting 'Myth and Magick' a piece dedicated to the Dragons of Glastonbury and the myth of King Arthur, from the Duelling Dragons book. #pagansky

Over the next couple of weeks I will share some of my favourite pieces from a previous book I illustrated called 'Duelling Dragons'. This is 'Boudicca' Queen of Albion. The current book I am working on is the follow up to this one, called "Queens of Avalon" #pagansky

Storm Dragons, work in progress. The place is an ancestral cairn stone circle in Wales, still on my bucket list but I have been obsessed with it through photos for years, it is where the dragons sleep. This is for the "Queens of Avalon" book illustration project #pagansky

no more animal spirit paintings left so here's a pic of Gingie AKA the Jabba

“To have a raven’s knowledge” is an Irish proverb meaning to have a seer’s supernatural powers. The raven is considered to be one of the wisest of all animals and some wisdom would be good in these times. Last Animal Spirit of the day #pagansky

beginnings of Algiz - a sacred space. This one is based on a faerie oak wood called Whistman's Wood and is what I consider one of the places which hold the heart and spirit of Dartmoor #pagansky

Animal spirit of the day is Horse, in celebration of the coming Chinese New Year... This piece is more air energy than 'fire horse' but I still thought it apt #pagansky

Animal spirit of the day. These two hares I saw in a hedgerow one summer in Cornwall. They gave me a moment of awe and wonder as they let me have a sneek peek at their life amongst the brambles #pagansky

As it is Wolf full moon it was an easy pick for today's Animal Spirit #pagansky

Animal Spirit of the day - Salmon, reminding me the value of perseverance #pagansky

For the animal spirit of the day I am sharing three, Heron, Ibis and Crane, they are a triptych and read as one image. All are water birds and associated with carrying souls over the veil. I painted them to help me process my father's passing and remind me life is a cycle and endings are beginnings

Animal spirit of the day - Adder, renew #pagansky

Reflecting back on my fav art pieces created in 2025 and so those who have started to follow my journey can see my goofy self. I thank everyone who has been with me so far, I am truly grateful for all your support. Wishing everyone a happy new year and all the best for 2026.

I missed yesterday's animal spirit of the day but back today. This little one was found under the canopy of an ancient oak growing at the base of Glastonbury Tor, so for today's animal spirit I give you the little black cat called Magog. #pagansky

I am in need of some Tiger Magick for today's Animal Spirit #pagansky

Animal spirit of the day - Dragons ... mythical to some, but as a West Country lass they are real to me. At the cliffs of Tintagel the dragons of Kernow stir. This is where I met the dragons of earth, fire, water and air. #pagansky

Animal spirit of the day - The White Stag, White Heart, guardian of nature. #pagansky

Owl - Animal spirit of the day. May my little owlets bring a smile to your face, as they wait on a branch for mum and dad to bring them some yummy field mice. #pagansky

Animal spirit of the day. Wild boar meaning is most profound when it comes to defence and protection. Indeed, many cultures adopted the boar as a symbol of warriors and mighty courage. I am going to climb Rippon Tor today so I will need Boar spirit and all my strength #pagansky

Otter animal spirit of the day. For me Otter symbolises the ability to connect to my inner child and play – to find love and laughter in our lives, balancing out more solemn or serious aspects of life. #pagansky

Solstice fox, animal spirit of the day #pagansky

The Sea Bear, White Sea Deer, The Seal’s Dread, The Whale’s Bane, or The Old Man in the Fur Cloak, The Ice Bear, The Ever-Wandering One. Known by so many names it is the Inuit ‘Nanuk’, that resonates the most with me, it means Animal Worthy of Great Respect. Animal spirit of the day. #pagansky

Clear blue skies this morning, perfect weather for the animal spirit of the day - Buzzard #pagansky

Late with my animal spirit ... it's been a hibernating Hedgehog kinda day #animism #pagansky

Animal Spirit if the day is Deer, because I need to remember to be gentle with myself. #pagansky #animism

Back to early mornings, my animal spirit for today is the Robin #pagansky #nature

Giant trees are incredibly captivating as artistic motifs. I'd like to try painting something like this soon. #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls

I am in need of some comfort and protection so today's animal spirit is Bear #pagansky
