In addition to being an illuminator I’m also an award-winning wildlife artist. I love being outdoors, sketchbook in hand, watching the wildlife around me: it’s a delight (and a challenge!) to then recreate the atmosphere and mood of the day on a two dimensional canvas.
Whilst much of my work depicts the wildlife and landscapes of the UK, I have been fortunate enough to travel and paint habitats such as the Arctic and Japan with their unique wildlife and flora.
My work hangs in private collections worldwide.
