“I express my passion and love for the natural world through my paintings. Nature is ever evolving and changing, much like our own lives. Life itself would not survive without the intricate cycles of nature, which today are often taken for granted. My calling as an artist is to capture the beauty and diversity of nature in watercolour and connect people with the fascinating and often fragile world of plants and animals. My paintings highlight the details that make each different species so unique”.
