Narrative:
I am proud to get 2026 off to a powerful start with my first release of the year entitled ‘Expecto Patronum’, a beautiful interpretation from within the spellbinding world of Harry Potter. Over the past decade or so, I have created a good number of artworks inspired by the incredible narrative of British novelist J. K. Rowling, with each being significantly different to the other. Some of my much earlier commissioned pieces were surreal and very niche when given ‘carte blanche’ with the brief. A little later I created a much more blatant piece, ‘Draco Dormiens’ that simply showcased the splendour and magic of Hogwarts. There then followed a bonkers and vivid window into platform 9 3/4 that showed that anything was indeed possible.
A couple of years followed, and I created a seriously intense piece (Bring Me To Life - Unlock The Heavens In My Mind) that was highly conceptual with multi-layered narratives that personified my intention of creating art with meaning. It was clear that I was building up a much-adored portfolio of Harry Potter inspired works that caused intrigue and adulation rather than offense! True to form, there would always be another chapter.
At a show in late 2025 I was talking to a collector and when I mentioned the plan to create a new piece, their eyes lit up and told me that it had to feature the Forbidden Forest. That was the seed right there, it is what I absolutely love, seeing the excitement from those who show so much loyalty and affection for my work. Now if you are aware of my portfolio then you will know that I do love to work with captivating forest scenes, almost as much as cars! I set about with the intention of combining both but as the direction twisted and turned with this new piece it wasn’t suited, next time for sure!
What I first saw in my head was a bold but dark scene at night with mist and coloured lighting that linked to the palette used in ‘Anything’s Possible’ and that would have been very effective. However, from speaking with Jemima in production who happens to be a big fan of Harry Potter, she brought my attention to the stag that appears in the forest in the form of a Patronus that is Harry’s own, cast to protect from danger. Immediately I was inspired due to me featuring a stag in several of my ‘Storyteller’ works to depict guidance through adversity or grief. It just made sense and aligned to my mindset at the time. I guess that what makes an artist’s truly unique and authentic when their work is influenced and driven by their mind and emotions, be it current or past. I wear my heart on my sleeve and lay it down on canvas.
This window into the forest puts you right there and sets it at that moment when you find strength at times of need to reach out for the protection from within. In the scene you can see the dangers rising towards you in numbers, some blatant, other’s creeping in the shadows. A majestic stag dominates the landscape, offering protection and comfort, it’s such a powerful sight that all the subtle references are simply a wonderful layer to seek out and enjoy. Darkness and light drive this piece, I am sure you are familiar with my love for depicting how close they reside to one another as the warmth of the sunlight lessens the strength and unease of the shadows, portraying hope amongst the hurt.
So, apologies if any of you were hoping for a more blatant interpretation this time but it is simply where my mind is at and seeking a little calm amongst the chaos. Next time for sure! I am so proud of how this new piece has turned out, it is beautiful and honest and so incredibly poignant and personal, not just for me but hopefully for so many of you for many a reason. That gives me so much satisfaction and fulfilment. Art runs through my veins, it’s how I bleed in the hope of healing.
So, when danger creeps in from either others or yourself, look within and find strength to cast and draw courage from what we have been taught and from it comes the protection that we seek to make a difference in times that challenge us. x

Hand embellishing is where Mark transforms the print or canvas with coloured 'micro glitters' that make your artwork sparkle, especially when the light catches it!
Added by hand, the effect is amazing and incredibly popular. 'Artist Proofs', 'Printer Proofs' and 'Premium Canvases' are embellished as standard, other editions can also be upgraded to become embellished should you wish.
If you fancy something truly unique instead of the black or white frame choices, you can upgrade to a stunning hand painted frame by Mark. You can either specify your choice of style and colours or leave it to Mark to work his magic. Simply add your comments at point of ordering.
