“There are thresholds we cross without ever moving. There are journeys taken by standing still.
And there are portals; unexpected, unassuming, that open not to another place, but to a deeper way of seeing.”
Portals Divine asks...
What does it mean to remember who you are, as woman, as man, as artist, as soul?
Where does the Divine speak, and are we willing to listen?

This series unfolds as a visual pilgrimage, from disconnection to remembrance, from fracture to wholeness. At its core lies the alchemy of the sacred reunion: horse and human, moon and stag, breath and heartbeat, him and her, self and soul.
“Portals Divine” is a journey into the liminal, of the sacred woven into the ordinary, of archetypes embodied in skin and breath. The works in this collection are not simply paintings; they are doorways. Icons. Mirrors. Invitations to witness the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine not as abstract concepts, but as living forces moving through human form, myth, memory, and metaphor.
The figures do not pose. They speak. They whisper, weep, unravel. Each composition is steeped in symbolism, portals, and portals within portals, anchoring the mythic within lived emotion.
Emerging from years of equestrian art, this body of work represents a shift, not just stylistically, but spiritually.
A movement away from surface into soul. From showing to revealing.
These works are the current pieces that will be shown at the Portals Divine Exhibition in Elgin, Scotland, December 2026. This is a continually emerging body of work.
