A B O U T
I create softly detailed drawings of animals and wildlife
inspired by my love of animals since childhood.
I like to create the gentle and sentient elements of the subject and their beauty
whilst representing a realistic and truthful impression of the animal,
as behind the softly drawn style I naturally developed and despite some of the subject’s incredible power
are themes relating to their startling vulnerability and challenges, their futures uncertain, where many may no longer exist
in as few as 10 years’ time.

I choose not to include backgrounds in order to evoke an emotion or feeling based on the animal only, which in turn
challenges me to recreate this through subject alone, then placed on my signature background of muted blues and browns.

Drawings are created using professional artist’s-grade pastel pencils on
acid-free archival pastelmat. I taught myself to use pastels through trial and error and fell in love with their
qualities as a drawing medium.
These pastels contain pure pigment to a slightly less ratio of binder with a high permanence value
so will not fade or lose their colour over time, ensuring the artwork's longevity
and your investment in my work.
P R O C E S S
In choosing my subject and references I select images which evoke a connection or emotion I hope to replicate to others
whilst considering what I may be able to bring to the photographer’s original capture.
This has resulted in building a portfolio of animal portraits
which I hope convey poignant and sincere artworks both complimenting the work of photographers dedicated to
spending hours upon hours out in the field and to help reinforce their own message and intentions towards the wildlife who share
our planet and owe so much to.
G I V I N G B A C K
My ongoing goal is to help raise awareness and funding through my drawings to help wildlife and the wider environments.
Through contributions to the causes and individuals working hard to protect animals I have so far
helped the following organisations:-
- Born Free Foundation - Wildlife SOS - Explorers Against Extinction - Africa Wildlife Art -
Thank you for your interest in my work
