I am a South African born, pastel artist based in the UK. I predominantly paint the animal kingdom due to my childhood holidays spent in the African Wild. Realism connects me to the subject I'm painting and I enjoy the challenge of capturing the beauty and ‘feel’ of what I’m seeing. I wanted to be part of Invicta Wildlife Fund and contribute to the protection of wildlife as our 'modern' world is having such a negative impact on natural habitats and want to support the great work that is being done in order to ensure we have wildlife for years to come!
