I am an active supporter of many conservation projects and charities. I highly value being able to give back to, and help the environment that inspires me and so fond of.

I was born in Essex and have a Studio in Southend-on-Sea. Appointments can be booked with me, so please do Contact Me if you would like to arrange an appointment to discuss a commission or project, always up for a challenge.

As well as my original artwork, commissions and prints, I also offer hand-made personalised gift vouchers, a framing service, and a printing service. The printing service enables me to also offer to print your images to canvas as well as any of my open edition images. These make wonderful personalised gifts/personalised wall art.

I deliver worldwide and pride myself on packaging up any of my artwork really well. I receive a lot of amazing feedback regarding my packaging, including one saying bomb proof lol, brilliant!

If in stock and ordered by midday Mon-Thursday, you should receive next day, as I use an next day service with DHL express. DHL express doesn't deliver over the weekend, but if goes out Friday will arrive Monday, I just prefer not to post out Friday as not sure where the parcels will be stored, but if requested for Monday, no problem to post out.

Hand-made to order canvas's please allow time to make prior to posting out, under a week.

Again, if in stock, can post out fast so please do enquire if you have seen something and need it for a set time.

'From as young as I can remember, I have always had a huge passion for wildlife, nature and the outdoors. I am a very passionate person. Wildlife is my inspiration to draw. I think that is why I love to represent them in such fine detail.

I have been lucky to have had the opportunity in seeing various wildlife in their natural habitat which is an incredible experience. I have had many special animal encounters that it is hard to pick a favourite.

One of these was a night safari in Nepal whilst at Rhino lodge. On one particular night we saw not only a ffishing cat, but also a jungle cat and a civet, as well as hearing jackels calling. That alone is incredible, but also that night we felt like we were being watched by a larger animal, a big cat...it is quite funny how even though we were feeling vulnerable, we were loving the experience and the unknown. We had amazing guides with us, Shambhu and Hammond but this particular night was very mysterious. 

The path led us to a bench which had trees in a circle and as we sat down, looking up, taking it all in around us, the moon was shining through the tops of the trees with the stars so close we felt like we could touch them as ffireflies started to emerge from the tree. Wow! It was like a story book had come to life, so surreal but so special for us to experience such a magical moment which we will always treasure. But the best bit to the story was that in the morning at breakfast, we were told that there were both tiger and leopard tracks across the path that we had ventured through, which still gives me goosebumps. 

I love the sound of nature, the array of insects, frogs, birds, hippos, laughing hyenas, and roaring lions. Once we heard a leopard sounding like a chainsaw, which was very unusual, but at night, everything seems so much clearer. 

I started my journey as a freelance artist using graphite pencils, but I fancied adding some colour. 

I have since become renowned for my realistic pastel drawings but I have always worked in other mediums and with a range of media. 

I had fun teaching myself how to use pastels and seeing the progression in each drawing I did when I was teaching myself as a hobby. I got excited thinking I might actually be able to achieve the detail I originally wanted to get with this messy, colourful medium. 

The thing I love about this medium is the colours, the soft effect and that I can still achieve the detail/realistic ffine art with them. Over time and keeping drawing, I have created my own technique.

The eyes for me have been my main focus or pull to draw a particular picture. For me they are so fascinating, like windows to the soul, such depth, feeling and expression just captivates me, especially with the great apes, pulling at my heart strings, speaking volumes without words. 

Orang-utans share 96.4% of our DNA and they always look sad due to not having facial muscles like we do. 

The beauty of the animal kingdom for me is that there are no labels, they share the habitat, waterholes and co-exist and form unusual relationships, showing such compassion, feelings and protection like our own traits, elephants are a great example of this'
