Welcome to the Gallery
Let's let the art do the talking shall we. . .
Below is a curated series of photographs from the collections of r e l — moments gathered, layered, and held.
I hope you find something here that stirs or softens something in you.
And if a piece doesn’t quite sit right — that’s okay too. Sometimes, what unsettles us can gently reveal something within… a feeling, a memory, or a new way of seeing.
May these images offer space for reflection, curiosity, and quiet connection.
I loved creating them — and I’m so glad you’re here.
The Story Behind the Image
Come along then, have a look for your selves...
The works you see here are impressions — inner and outer reflections of a world in constant flux (or as I like to say, fluctuous). They explore the anatomies of Homo sapiens sapiens and invertebrate life through drawing, sculpture, textiles, painting, print, and more…
A weaving together of themes such as:
• what it is to be human today
• the microscopic world
• flora and fauna
• intuitive expression
• life drawing
• collaboration
It’s in all the beauties — both the uncanny and the divine — that I find my curiosity sparked. Within these quiet studies of still lives, there are untold stories waiting. Flesh and bone become keepers of memory.
With deep respect to the individuals I draw upon, their presence lives on in these works — not as likenesses alone, but as living echoes.
Come along, then — take a wander, take your time.

"Each day offers a box of small and sacred discoveries.
What we missed yesterday is still waiting—
perhaps in the soft imprint of a butterfly,
pausing just long enough to be seen." – rel
