- Biography
My artwork consists of paintings of animals.
What fascinates me about the animals is how they all respond to the world in their own unique way.
This is what I strive to capture in my art - each animal's individual personality and how their characteristics can be compared to those of humans. My current work tends to push the colours working in a criss-cross pattern, particularly in the background of the paintings.
My interest in animals began in 2009 when I travelled to South Africa, and gained the experience of viewing the animals in their native land and habitat. I have since visited another 2 times.
The sketches and photographs from my trip provided me with the starting point to paint animals. Since then, I have visited various animal parks spending days sketching and gaining more source material to paint the animals in my studio, and from this I have a set of very successful paintings.
