I am astonished by the resilience of wildlife living alongside an ever expanding human population as they battle against persecution and loss of habitat. I have focussed on birds for this work as they have a particular grace and movement that I enjoy drawing and painting.

I will add more detailed images of my exhibition work soon. These will be available as limited edition prints in future should anyone be interested.
