I am a self-taught fine artist that specialises in realistic paintings and drawings of zoological and botanical works of art (all from my own references or painted from life). I also take commissions for pet portraits and wildlife. I am based in Devon, United Kingdom. I have a lifelong love for natural beauty inspired by nature. I am an enthusiast photographer and I am often found in natural parks, zoos and gardens taking photographs of animals and plants. I am a very keen amateur horticulturist and have been growing plants since a young age, specialising in mainly tropical orchids but also unusual hybrids and species of Schlumbergera and hardy garden plants. I am owned by my three beautiful cats, Lucu, Sakura and Emily. BSc Environmental Geoscience, BSc Zoology, MSc Zoo Conservation Biology.
