I’m more interested in using my art to elicit emotion and positive awareness, rather than a mere rendition of subject matter.

My works try to convey something of the energy and spirit of the animals portrayed and to capture our attention and imagination. I’m passionate about preserving the biosphere and I donate at least 10% of all my sales, and in some instances an entire commission, to conservation organisations that are striving to save wildlife.


I am proud to have been able to support the following charities through my work:
