I grew up in Birmingham where there was a permanent collection of Pre-Raphaelite paintings in the Birmingham Art Gallery. However, I have always been bothered by Ophelia giving up and dying when scorned by Hamlet who also murdered her father. My Ophelia is not going to lie down and die, she is up, and she’s on her way. The future may be dark and uncertain but she’s confidently striding ahead. She holds daisies, the symbol of new beginnings and leaves behind a poppy, a symbol of death. Stuff You Hamlet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66ff6246c5765a03be697f09/64153d8d-f1fb-4284-91b7-7150bc044ac2/echoes+of+ophelia+1.jpg Art Collections - Turning The Tide "Echoes of Ophelia 1" 24x18" mixed media and oil on gallery wrapped canvas, $950 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66ff6246c5765a03be697f09/82613b6b-300e-44c1-90dd-f5c14419a892/echoes+of+ophelia+2.jpg Art Collections - Turning The Tide "Echoes of Ophelia 2" 24x18" mixed media and oil on gallery wrapped canvas, $950 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66ff6246c5765a03be697f09/a22b8590-3c0e-44a8-b432-df75a1ea67e3/IMG_1054.jpg Art Collections - Turning The Tide Turning the Tide, mixed media and oil on gallery wrapped canvas, 40" x 30" presently at the NZ Academy of Fine Arts. Women can make the tides turn in our world or turn the tide of our time. This picture is one of a series. depicting women connected with water and resisting or impacting turbulence. The woman is connected to the fish through colour and through presence. The fish are also a Christian symbol for Christ and redemption. We are in very challenging times and through love, nurturance, resilience and truth, we can make a difference if we put our minds to it and turn some tides that need to be turned. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66ff6246c5765a03be697f09/0ef1a77e-aa11-490e-93ba-f19cdade800c/IMG_3526+2.jpg Art Collections - Turning The Tide "Alchemist" mixed media and oil on gallery wrapped canvas, 30" x 20," $550 - presently at the Ruapehu Art Award https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66ff6246c5765a03be697f09/6103a70b-f819-42a2-b953-55294682beff/The+Knowledge+of+Good+and+Evil.jpeg Art Collections - Turning The Tide The Knowledge of Good and Evil, mixed media and oil on gallery wrapped canvas, 40"x30" $950. From the series Turning the Tide: In the Garden of Eden, Eve ate of the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. As a result she (and Adam who followed her lead) were banished and destined to give birth in pain and labour (not Adam) and toil on the land for food. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66ff6246c5765a03be697f09/1728201114595-FBGJ6O1V90R7BMDD6C5F/IMG_7947+2.jpg Art Collections - Turning The Tide SOLD - "The Eye of the Storm" mixed media and oil on gallery wrapped canvas, 40" x 30," $1,240 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66ff6246c5765a03be697f09/32a0cdc9-09a5-4cc9-94ec-6ad2f915e732/IMG_8391.JPG Art Collections - Turning The Tide SOLD - "Minerva's Owl," mixed media and oil on canvas, 30" x 20," “The owl of Minerva takes its flight only when the shades of night are gathering” (Hegel). This quote suggests that wisdom comes with age and experience. In my painting, I challenge this notion by depicting a young woman who welcomes the owl—a symbol of wisdom—onto her hand. The background is crafted using layers of spray paint, inks, and acrylics, creating a dynamic tapestry that reveals different forms depending on the viewer's angle. In the foreground, collaged feathers and snippets of text intertwine in a chaotic harmony, while the girl reaches out to the owl, bridging the gap between innocence and wisdom. The final layers of the artwork are completed with oil paint, uniting the elements into a cohesive vision. As previous generations have struggled to care for our planet, today’s youth face significant challenges. My hope is that they find wisdom to navigate this complex world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66ff6246c5765a03be697f09/75eec25b-380c-435c-81e6-68c3df982fea/IMG_7486+3.jpg Art Collections - Turning The Tide "The Past," charcoal, spray paint and acrylic pen on paper, 30" x 22," $250 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66ff6246c5765a03be697f09/30965c10-3276-48a9-bbbd-04d09db6a278/Yes+%282%29.jpeg Art Collections - Turning The Tide "Inspiration," mixed media and oil on gallery wrapped canvas, 40" x 30," $720.

The woman in the background of this picture is a conceptual reproduction of the woman bathing in the background of Manet's "Le Dejeuner sur l'herbe." The foreground woman in Manet's painting looks confidently at the viewer yet she is naked in a clothed setting and therefore vulnerable. There are times in life of great vulnerability where one hides one's heart and this picture explores hiding one's heart. https://www.lfrancesrees.com/originalart/project-one-f5w4d-pyrxb monthly 0.5 2025-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66ff6246c5765a03be697f09/f481103a-d3ac-4ca2-9801-1096502f3526/swept+away.jpg Art Collections - Lifelines "Swept Away" oil on gallery wrapped canvas, 40x30" $950.
