Artist’s Statement

I am an animal and wildlife artist using whimsy and surrealism to create paintings, drawings, prints and ceramics. Drawing inspiration from the amazing creatures of the animal kingdom, I create characters with a narrative and storyline, often with an environmental or thought-provoking message. Works are created in a realistic style often with old masters techniques, but with an element of surrealism that takes the work past the obvious to create a narrative, a quirky twist or a deeper meaning.
