Conservation Statement
"By drawing our wonderful animals and birds, I capture people’s attention and inspire them to connect with my creatures through their personality and humour. If people can smile at a wildlife artwork, then they are more likely to respect and help protect the wildlife around them. In this gentle and subtle way I hope to promote greater conservation and understanding."
