This beast here has tree branches where his antlers would normally be. I imagine that at Christmas time, little luminous red berries grow on the branch antlers- and this creature wanders the hills like a mobile Christmas tree. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1535275269064-YD07NSY4QGLUOS1LFTXU/TreeshipCopy+copy.jpg Gallery 2012 to 2015 - Underwater Treeship 2014 Here’s a curious whale watching a passing illuminated treeship. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1535267433482-K65BUHQVS9VUY3P2EP5M/Dandelionscreen17.jpg Gallery 2012 to 2015 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1535275384183-WI8E38M59XOMQ3CIDIQC/Teapot+for+Etsy.jpg Gallery 2012 to 2015 - Tiny House 2014 I always thought that a teapot would make a good home for anyone small enough to fit inside. And it's a great use for a teapot that has been retired from tea making! All you would need to do is prop up the lid and you would have an instant skylight! I think there is a fireplace beneath the spout of this one, and whoever lit the fire has put something strange in the kindling that conjures up castles. I think perhaps there is a pixie family here- pixies of the sort that can fly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1535275550382-RT8SXBTIBKHDIXQPMWO4/screenbear.jpg Gallery 2012 to 2015 - Song Request 2014 This bear wanders around with a gramophone on his head, taking song requests from forest dwellers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1535275599621-ZB3O5AV566BFF4CGIV7R/Moonbow.jpg Gallery 2012 to 2015 - Moonbow 2014 A nocturnal rainbow produced by a robot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1548145744388-J1KKXP96P1IDP60NCLRW/Grandpa+and+Grand+bairn+adj+copy.jpg Gallery 2012 to 2015 A grandfather taking his curious grand bebe for a walk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1547979025844-E9XOE0M9YEF145PLPCQX/Ruapehu4_0001.jpg Gallery 2012 to 2015 - Mount Ruapehu This painting is from 2014 and is of one of my favourite mountains- Ruapehu. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1547979169318-379OSC9RQJW43F2T8S10/Dreaming+dragon+website.jpg Gallery 2012 to 2015 - Cloud Dragon This painting is from 2013 and is based on a photo I took in Wanaka many years ago, of a cloud that looked to me like Falcor (The luck dragon from The Neverending Story). This gave me the perfect excuse to do a painting combining three things I love- clouds, snowy southern alps scenery and dragons. I am really happy that this picture belongs to a lovely friend who shares my appreciation for all these things. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1548148188936-JCFBBYFVRD37SYURWCIQ/Winter+Fairy+copy.jpg Gallery 2012 to 2015 - Winter Fairy This is a little winter fairy (acrylic on board) that I finished painting in December 2015. I first saw my first proper snowflakes when I was about 8 (and when I say ‘proper’, I am referring to those with beautiful star-like shapes) and was totally enchanted. This fairy knows exactly what I’m talking about. https://spellitoutwithstars.com/gallery-2016-to-2018 daily 1.0 2021-06-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1535284470552-J9LO4K99ZBT7MFA38T0G/Library+Bear+copy.jpg Gallery 2016 to 2018 - Midnight Library Trip 2016 This gnome is fortunate to live somewhere where libraries are open 24 hours a day, and where if you're lucky, a bear will give you a lift so you can return your latest literary treasure and choose a new one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1535284470552-J9LO4K99ZBT7MFA38T0G/Library+Bear+copy.jpg Gallery 2016 to 2018 - Midnight Library Trip 2016 This gnome is fortunate to live somewhere where libraries are open 24 hours a day, and where if you're lucky, a bear will give you a lift so you can return your latest literary treasure and choose a new one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1589263300256-PNZYKIDS5CDDST3X3MPS/Bear.jpg Gallery 2016 to 2018 - Midnight Library Trip Photo: Lizzie Snow Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1535275856486-T2ECUJEORJ7QSUVERG63/WhaleSept+copy.jpg Gallery 2016 to 2018 - Galaxy Swimming 2016 The humpback whale, here formed of a constellation of stars, acts as a guide and guardian for the sperm whale. The girl in the boat, delighting in her fish visitor, is unaware of the benevolent giants of the sea and sky looming beneath and above her. For me this image is a reminder that the universe moves in mysterious ways that we don't always notice, but that do influence us. This is one of my takes on this painting, but I love to hear how others interpret it.

Here are a couple of bus stop dwellers. One has just been to trumpet lessons; the other has been shopping somewhere where you can buy a baguette and paint made of starlight in the same place. Handy! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1535275750434-Z2Q245LKVMNAIV0GWNZN/MusicBear+copy.jpg Gallery 2016 to 2018 - The Department of Song Distribution 2016 This painting is about those times when you get a song stuck in your head and you have no idea how it got in there. I have a theory that a strange beast (invisible to us, of course) in a bathtub on wheels is responsible for such things. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1535276455684-QC3H4U6665M5AFKU96W6/DragonboatEtsy+copy+2.jpg Gallery 2016 to 2018 - A Leisurely Evening Row 2017 This painting is of two friends having a lovely trip across a lake. Luckily they are well supplied with books, and hopefully at some point the dragon will give the bear a break from the rowing. They also have some tunes playing on the radio- my suspicions are that they are listening to a station that mainly plays Ella Fitzgerald but really it's anyone's guess. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1535276616095-7GVU7947PNJCLXDLHYRS/mushroom+forest+300.jpg Gallery 2016 to 2018 - How to Stay Warm by the Lake at Night 2017 This monster is warming her hands on some solar powered heating toadstools, which grow in abundance all around the lake. These sun stealers give out a small amount of warmth at night, and also serve as little beacons of light for nocturnal lakeside travellers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1535277141032-XSZDHXP4PVPNNLST9J5X/For+web.jpg Gallery 2016 to 2018 - Bear Hill 2017 I made this image as a wedding present for two lovely people who got married on an autumn day in 2017. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1535277290930-1K09ZR84VHPNQIWR5JT1/Onscreen+Lotus.jpg Gallery 2016 to 2018 - Lotus Boat 2018 I really loved the idea of painting an illuminated lotus boat that could keep a couple of friends afloat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1535277426427-FM7GSB8TYMUV1PH6CJ1I/Forest+spirit+screen.jpg Gallery 2016 to 2018 - Owl and the Moving Castle 2018 This little painting is all about a forest sprite whose job is to safely transport tiny castles to new locations when their inhabitants need a change of scenery. His companions are a tiny grey wolf and an owl who is particularly good at location scouting. I am a huge appreciator of owls (Thank you, Harry Potter books!) and love the beautiful and delightfully haunting calls of Ruru/Moreporks at night. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1535276979997-RTFUUBFDDXUY2GLZI6Z8/Fox+etsy.jpg Gallery 2016 to 2018 - Moon Lantern 2018 The story behind this picture is that there was a tiny dragon who wanted to get a present for her fox friend. Having collected some light from the moon (with the moon’s permission, of course), she made a little crescent-shaped moonlit lantern for the fox. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1547958413699-T1166WXPC3FNLENEDCAK/Grmophone300screen.jpg Gallery 2016 to 2018 I made this little painting for two lovely people who got married on a beautiful winter day in August 2018….because nothing says wedding present like a picture of a couple of forest creatures stumbling upon a star-emitting gramophone on a moonlit night. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1547958590301-JDCWNCU4KJS9X9STLN26/EveningHour.jpg Gallery 2016 to 2018 - An Evening Hour's Unnamed Galaxy This painting started from a tiny scribble of a mountain that gradually grew into something. It has multiple meanings for me but I am much more interested in what other people see in it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1547959117174-83PD0SS86501XECE83JZ/Southern+sky+for+screen.jpg Gallery 2016 to 2018 - Things Beneath a Southern Sky This is a commissioned picture that needed to have a New Zealand theme. I wanted to include a flightless bird to represent the earth (Takahe) and a flight-ful bird to represent the sky (Kereru). It might be a little bit hard to see, but you will also spot another creature in here- a rock nugget- these are found all over the world but the ones native to NZ have little fern fronds sprouting from their heads like antlers! This one likes to read books about mountains, while also being surrounded by mountains. This picture also needed to have a Russian connection- the wee castle in the tree is inspired by Russia’s amazing, fairytale-like architecture. See if you can spot the Southern Cross in the sky too. https://spellitoutwithstars.com/gallery-2008-to-2011 daily 0.75 2019-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1548145926303-8FH1LI0EPAVQ7IWUNB6F/1460186_1407949932774910_174154890_n.jpg Gallery 2008 to 2011 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1548145926303-8FH1LI0EPAVQ7IWUNB6F/1460186_1407949932774910_174154890_n.jpg Gallery 2008 to 2011 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1548146001354-5549LQWVJEWDH0CJI7ZL/IMG_3345.jpg Gallery 2008 to 2011 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1548146033592-U15J1LP135HEJJFRUOKN/IMG_3358.jpg Gallery 2008 to 2011 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1548146113664-EKJ38F0APKUPCOL3XPZ4/IMG_3341.jpg Gallery 2008 to 2011 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1548146237754-207QXOIY8D6O2IVROFQL/IMG_3360.jpg Gallery 2008 to 2011 The Lindis pass, South Island, New Zealand https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1548147000907-OLEV7JES67XQU9LQBSV5/IMG_3347.jpg Gallery 2008 to 2011 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1548147042799-TJ9RRMXIJISS5CNCK0KT/IMG_3351.jpg Gallery 2008 to 2011 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1548147241841-3EUA6YXJY7PLXEC1UEFD/IMG_3354.jpg Gallery 2008 to 2011 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1548147565373-BD454B92RP1IAFBDH1Y6/IMG_3343.jpg Gallery 2008 to 2011 https://spellitoutwithstars.com/2019 daily 0.75 2021-06-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1551143805257-5KC20S0KQPF8490CFF70/TreeshipCopy+copy.jpg 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1551143805257-5KC20S0KQPF8490CFF70/TreeshipCopy+copy.jpg 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1555287763513-KZPS2W0KK4KTRX0PO1DE/Daisy+stars.jpg 2019 There is a daisy bush across from where I live that when at its most resplendent, looks like dark green sky with white stars. Are the daisies here turning into stars, or is it the other way around? Who knows. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1551143864198-5XOLJ4KUOPRW7W10FGI4/Snowcloudforscreen.jpg 2019 - Snow Cloud Secret Here is a dragon who has resigned herself to the fact that she’s being used as a resting place for someone small, grey, and fluffy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1563066628749-VPCL00F1RKJHA32IF5XE/Fixedtransmission300dustfixESTSY.jpg 2019 - Celestial Transmission This little painting is based on a drawing I did several years ago. For a while I wasn’t sure exactly what to put on the TV screen- what kinds of broadcasts would forest dwellers enjoy the most? And what kinds of signals are most clearly received via tree branches? Then I saw a little crescent moon with a mystery planet beneath it in the morning sky and the decision was made for me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1563012839554-NB9T3RPP07RUDU4AXJO8/MoonBear.jpg 2019 - Moon Bear https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1589261688065-IYD7Y20KUNJ292PR12TK/Creaturebewild.jpg 2019 - Let This Creature Be Wild The book held by the bear-like creature in this painting represents a sort of treasury of knowledge that every person has- one that grows and changes, and is influenced by time, people and other forms of life, and the wild forces of nature. The seahorse dragon is a union of sky and water and represents the importance of the imagination. The moths, as lunar creatures, are there as bringers of night dreams, but carry the gold of the day’s sunlight in their wings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1568625657162-XEZYP043N0P5KQMR7R64/Bowhead300+website.jpg 2019 - Ancient Visitor This is a bowhead whale. Bowheads are amazing for many reasons, but I think the most astonishing thing about them is that they are believed to be able to live for 200 years or even longer. It’s possible that there are bowheads in existence today that were around all the way back in 1819! The forest sprite in the boat is on its first arctic adventure, and is excited to have seen not only a star of the sea but a curious bowhead also. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1589263632058-D46QPYE5UQGBUZYTHQ5E/IMG_8557.JPG 2019 - Let This Creature Be Wild https://spellitoutwithstars.com/2020 daily 0.75 2025-08-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1582332133849-5ANL38795PKD7MA5R0X4/Riverforscreen.jpg 2020 - River, Iris and Pebble This is River the dragon, Iris the Koala and Pebble the leaf sprite.

You might find yourself, like a dandelion seed, flung suddenly in to an unfamiliar world and doing your best to trust that the fickle wind that carries you knows exactly where to deposit you. Or...the sight of a dandelion might reawaken the childlike possibility within you that there is value in making wishes, whether for yourself, other beings, or the entire earth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1592296091160-CNSD37OLFDUT16XNJE48/SkyHopweb.jpg 2020 - Sky Hop When a whale pokes its head out of the water to see what’s going on above the surface it’s called a ‘spy hop’, which is where the name of this painting came from. The galactic space deer on the top left is a deity of the earth, sea and sky, who can transform in to absolutely anything. She can be a cloud, or a waterfall, or a rock. She might even have been that startlingly bright red leaf that you saw falling from a tree! The whale peeking up from the lower part of the painting is a gray whale. In the days of widespread whaling, gray whales were named 'devil-fish' for their efforts to resist whalers. They were particularly ferocious when their young had been taken. Nowadays, these beautiful animals are known to actively approach boats, even bringing their curious calves with them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1592296165708-VRXKVEAZ4A5QDH56MQ4N/IMG_0378.jpg 2020 - Detail from 'Sky Hop' https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1604742017485-HGW45FOT6OB428SSM4ZV/BlueMoonscreen.jpg 2020 - Blue Moon In this picture, I was imagining the Moon dipping into the salty underwater world of the ocean for the first time, becoming a resident of both sea and sky. A blue whale is in the company of a little Hector's dolphin. Hector's dolphins, which are among the smallest types of cetaceans in the world, are found in the waters surrounding New Zealand's South Island, Te Wai Pounamu, and have a distinctive rounded dorsal fin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1604742101055-383PAF5UKHBKLJGQUVS8/SkyAbove+Sky+screen.jpg 2020 - Sky Above Sky This painting grew from a drawing I did for inktober in 2019, which was of a huge, bear-like, star-catching creature called Sulamith. The creature pictured is an ancient sky spirit, so old that she can no longer rely on her wings for flight. For centuries now she has navigated the cosmos in a boat, with the aid of an owl who can see through time and space without even opening his eyes. The job of this winged bear is to gather falling meteors and transform their energies into new forms, that benefit multiple universes. In this painting, I was imagining these beings passing over Mount Ruapehu on a clear night. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1604742196318-F358CBTTG5ZGLQ1WUKKX/ScreenOrca.jpg 2020 - Ancient Ocean Giant I love orcas for too many reasons to name, so it was only a matter of time before I put one in a painting. The one pictured here is an enormous guardian of the ocean, easily distinguishable from other orcas by its sheer size, and by the never-fail giveaway of the lights emanating from behind its dorsal fin. Rather than being a source of fear for other ocean dwellers, this creature is a living library of millions of years of life at sea. It knows everything, including how many different types of fish there are, what sharks like to talk about to each other, and who composed the greatest humpback whale song of all time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1604742259830-ZPK646OQWCXMF3EJKO6F/KotareCosmos+Screen.jpg 2020 - Kotare Cosmos The beautiful Kōtare is one of my favourite birds. The first time I saw one, I was pretty startled by the amazing, vivid colours of its feathers. This Kōtare is contemplating life during peaceful night. https://spellitoutwithstars.com/2021 daily 0.75 2022-10-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1622791216459-YOL36WQ5ZQ5XPBL1VVF5/Moonbloom.jpg 2021 - Moonlight Sprite https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1622791216459-YOL36WQ5ZQ5XPBL1VVF5/Moonbloom.jpg 2021 - Moonlight Sprite https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1643004252341-DE7Q5I4QXERCGUW21ISA/A693B822-C092-4989-980A-CB51829A0DC0.jpeg 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1665376774167-KKJU8BSKW20OAGP8I7C7/EA9FC1A7-6BAD-49F5-9D6A-0ABD0293509E.jpeg 2021 https://spellitoutwithstars.com/new-gallery daily 0.75 2022-10-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1665376377771-Z9HN2G1BXGY9E974NZ4T/5C7FF2AE-7CD8-42DE-AC73-0D945420AE66.jpeg 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1665376377771-Z9HN2G1BXGY9E974NZ4T/5C7FF2AE-7CD8-42DE-AC73-0D945420AE66.jpeg 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1665376482814-UVSVAH8V3RMJFB80E7XG/565DF039-114E-48E3-8A0A-616B4412C149.jpeg 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1665376525286-R1C3BFJHCMGS4D3LYG2Y/3F9F0323-0ECB-44B8-9C24-18606AE228EC.jpeg 2022 https://spellitoutwithstars.com/2025 daily 0.75 2026-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1774144471993-RKJIXKE3NN0BQZR45DRG/Web+size+jpeg.jpg 2025 - Ranger of the Night This painting is a kind of remix of some of my earlier paintings. I love to imagine what might exist beyond the reach of our senses, conjured up by the tremendous power of nature. This huge being materialises only after dark, late enough for most humans to be asleep. Formed of combined essences of space and earth, it travels the world, carried along by the night. Materialising only briefly in each location, it watches quietly, before dissolving back into the glitter of the stars. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b820e77620b859f8529dfcb/1774144471993-RKJIXKE3NN0BQZR45DRG/Web+size+jpeg.jpg 2025 - Ranger of the Night This painting is a kind of remix of some of my earlier paintings.
