Sharing the beauty and wonder of nature through my paintings feels so necessary in a world undergoing profound change where animals are experiencing such pressure to survive. I like to challenge my abilities, to convey the magic of the natural world and my respect for it. My work is mostly a hybrid of abstraction and realism, often experimental, growing and changing with my explorations but always responding to my subject and what I want to say about it ​using a variety of media, paint and collage.
