I love capturing the character of wildlife and
other nature subjects and I find that pastels is the ideal medium for my
work. I live on the edge of Dartmoor in Devon, but although UK
based I like to portray wildlife from many parts of the world which
gives scope for some exciting colours and unusual characteristics.
Whilst original artwork for some of the images may be
available, through the production of high quality prints I can make my
artwork available to many more people, at affordable prices. My cards
are sold in aid of Explorers Against Extinction, a charity which
benefits wildlife
welfare and nature conservation. I will be including
paintings of many species from the Red List of animals that are
critically endangered.
I am a member of Drawn to the Valley, the Tavistock Group of
Artists and the Association of Animal Artists.
I hope you enjoy my art.

year (and it could do with a bit of a polish). |
