An artist and a writer, my art celebrates a love affair with nature. My art is an invitation to connect ... with nature, to each other and with the deepest, truthful essence of ourselves.

I create images with the desire to tell stories. Capturing the power of big life changing moments and an innate desire to see us all reach our potential is what motivates me. Personal stories are woven into my work, expressions of life changing events. My paintings of wildlife become self-portraits, a vehicle to tell a story.

I leave space for the imagination and seek beauty in simplicity.

Originally I trained as a designer & illustrator in Australia ... and the bright lights of the big wide world called. For many years I concepted and directed spectaculars around the world, painting with lasers, lights, fireworks and sound. I had alot of crazy adventures, some of them particularly hair raising!

One day I rediscovered my paints and my pen and began to create just for myself - oh how liberating! Now, I balance my time between the bright lights and my own painting and writing. I work from my studios in London and Sydney and have work in galleries in the Uk and Australia.
