January 2026
Website revamp! Again. Above, a peek at what's coming up alongside highlights of what's already been. Below, a cluster gallery from the range of my body of work, and below that a selection of collections. Not all. I found it a little bloated to run a website with my whole catalogue all at once so now we just have 4 older collections at a time. I'll be holding sales this year to rehome artworks for -frankly- a huge discount. Keep checking back, we should see big opportunities in March, April, new collections dropping in May and more time-sensitive collector events throughout the year. Happy 2026, send me a message, say hi, have fun - JC

My self-initiated art Artworks are, at their core, a meditation on life and mortality. They are often macabre, psychological, and sometimes challenging. But I hope also quiet, intelligent, and introspective. Reassurring for people like me who spend a lot of time in their heads trying to make sense of a world that feels loud, turbulent and often chaotic
