Beckoning you for your glance,
A spell is cast upon thee,
For now you will go deep within the weed,
Lost for eternity.
My interpretation of Jenny Greenteeth as a seductive figure luring the innocent by her entrancing spell. In other words, the enticing water seducing children and adults not realising the green danger lurking just below.
The English folklore tale of Jenny Greenteeth, with green skin and sharp teeth. Also, known by the name Jinny Greenteeth, or wicked Jenny. The tale was inspired to scare children not to venture into water, for Jenny Greenteeth will pull you down below the weeds drowning you and capturing your soul forever.

Ever since I remember, I've had a passion for nature. As a child walking to the park was a highlight, the old oak trees twisting up high, the green spaces spread as far as I could see, the foliage with specks of colour in every corner and the vast sky overhead. Taking me away from the busy city and the stresses as a child and now adult. Living in North Yorkshire, I have access to the moors, forests and coast. There is nothing like immersing yourself deep into the forests, closing your eyes and listening to nature, or looking out to the inspiring coastline, to help reset your mind. My love of nature and folktales inspired me to make Hob Hill my home to display my art. The In-between section is a little fun, adding a little extra to my photos, see if you can see the subtle changes I've made?
