Myth and Moor
A series inspired by Dartmoor
This body of work is born from deep belonging—from the sense that Dartmoor does not merely surround, but absorbs. As A.C. Doyle wrote, “the spirit of the moor sinks into one’s soul,” and these paintings trace that quiet immersion: the vastness, the grim charm, the mystery held in stone and mist. Myth and Moor captures fleeting moments on the moor, where light shifts and colour speaks of something ancient and just out of reach.
Autumn glows with the promise of winter, its palette rich with rust and shadow, while winter itself is the moor’s most enigmatic voice—bare, elemental, and profound. These works do not depict Dartmoor; they resonate with it. They tread granite and heather as the Druids did, echoing Daphne du Maurier’s invocation of a pathless, mythic landscape. Each piece is a threshold: between memory and myth, solitude and connection, the seen and the felt.
