Sometimes the next best thing is a picture. Sometimes a picture is best.

Images are ancient and universal forms of communication we have a natural response to. Our eyes use up a lot of brain power and register many details we may first and only perceive instinctively.

Before words an image of a plant or animal made by another human says,

here,

look here...

I have - or some of us -

have…seen… this.

This lives with us! Their foot, was just so. Their leaf just like. A wing.

Just so that moment…

I believe hand crafted things hold a perceivable value that resonates with all humans. An investment of time. When the natural world is the subject not only the value of the artists time alone, but of the life they have been compelled to share that time with or in contemplation of.

Although I enjoy video, photography and other artforms, I specialise in hand painted wildlife & botanical murals & illustration.

My work is grounded in reality but I often feel like a dream interpreter. The tremor of a hand, breath, heart is integral to the work.
