Weaved within the threads of fate, the helping hands rebuild me from the inside out.

As a painter, I am interested in exploring memories, the human psyche, and esoteric knowledge. My practice is deeply introspective, and painting is intrinsic to how I explore these ideas.

This series of oil paintings depict my ‘Helping Hands’, playful fae based on the many spirits in Breton folklore. The ‘Helping Hands’ are mysterious agents of transformation, living within our unconscious self and working to keep us afloat.
