“It is said that Fay gave life by her own hand. Upon the runes, she carved the tree

where each woman came into life, each one the ruler of individual worlds, displayed

like fruit on its branches”

- From Fay’s Tree - Book One

Fay’s Tree is my take on the creation of the universe and creationism itself. It is an artistic exploration of Magic, intrigue and divinity. An imagined universe formed from a passion for compelling story and imagery.

Book one of the series takes you on a journey from the very beginning time.

The 12 characters of this instalment follow individual stories of war, peace, loss, knowledge and much more. Being the central figure, Fay is known as The Architect - Creator of the Stars and this imagined universe is formed from her as the point of creation.

Book Two of Fay's Tree takes a darker journey into the distorted mind of the universe. Thought of as cold and mostly deserted, however very much alive, represented with thought provoking art and story.

I have been drawing for as long as I can remember. Always one of the misfits at school I was frequently told off for drawing Warhammer characters in my school books.

My early inspirations came from the White Dwarf magazines. I now draw inspiration from nature, mythology, religion, and the universe, as well as the likes of Magic the Gathering, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and other notable artists in my field of work. 

Back in 2017 I created the painting of Thea, now one of the most popular characters in the series. This lead me on a journey of painting more fantastical women and creating the story surrounding them. Fay’s Tree has become a big part of my life, teaching me many valuable lessons and giving me the ability to tap into and express very personal depths of my inner being, all while giving me the chance to explore my love of writing and storytelling.

I work as a freelance illustrator on a daily basis with Fay’s Tree as my out of work Passion. After my successful Kickstarter in August 2019 I hope to continue bringing this story to life and building around it, hopefully expanding the lore and bringing other creators in to collaborate with. 

Having a daughter, I believe it is important for women to have a voice and be able to be individual. She is an inspiration to me, and is the driving force behind my art and story. I hope to one day be her inspiration like she is mine.
