Suspended Floating in space and form, strange beings that echo the beginnings of life, Jellyfish are fascinating creatures. Photographed in a remote bay in Desolation Sound, this series explores states of being, reflection and translucence, water and fragility.  Imagination  The human mind has such a varied capacity for interpretation. The inanimate can come to life, the familiar can become strange, sometimes disturbing, sometimes exhilarating. Our perception of reality is distorted by our emotions and each person can attach a different meaning to an image depending on what part of their imagination is stimulated.  Arboreal Fascination with arboreal forms has been prevalent in art since its inception. Van Gogh, Cezanne, Monet, Ivan Shishkin and Tom Thomson all created masterpieces in this genre. Unassuming yet powerful, evocative and emotive, trees are responsible for the very breath in our lungs. Tied to our existence, like the sun and the ocean, they are the perfect embodiment of function and beauty.

This is a country where spiritual practice is fused with daily life and sacred rituals are performed with the utmost reverance and diligence by children and adults alike. Thailand An overwhelmingly Buddhist nation, Thailand has a unique spirit and beauty that shines through the faces of its people. From Hill Tribe communities to tropical islands to temples made of gold built high atop mountains, it is an exquisite journey of the senses.
