This art work started as i was sitting peacefully one day at Temperance Bar and just allowed the flow of line and art develop without prior thought or planned direction. A true automaton drawing that reflected my peace at the time.

Canyon was created and inspired from the live performance by the Charm of Finches at Temperance Bar, Royal Leamington Spa. Canyon has become one of my most favourite songs and transports me to a dream land when listening to it, it fills me with a sense of care and hope replacing the place of fear and sorrow that our dreams can take us at times. We are all vulnerable at times and no more so than in our dreams, Its a beautiful thing to not to be or feel alone and have something to hold onto and lift of together and fly over and out of our fears.
