Art has always been a passion and love of mine, but family life and work has meant I have tended to dabble both in watercolour and pastel. Retirement has allowed me to spend more time and artificial intelligence the means to combine my joy of art with story-telling and poetry. In the last six months I have set up an on-line workshop of 25 ai artists who work collaboratively to advance our collective knowledge of Midjourney, as well as a personal art page to showcase my own work. I have avoided referencing other artists and specialise in mythical entities including dragons, faeries, dryads and sprites as well as one off entities such as ‘Hawthorn’, a tree spirit.
