I am a full-time artist, based in Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa. Although I work predominantly in oils, I also occasionally enjoy the fast-drying freedom of working in acrylics. I have no formal training in the arts, but I have a deep-seated appreciation for nature and an inherent urge to express this creatively. Being a qualified Field Guide and spending a considerable amount of time living and working in the bush has added significant depth to my knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the subject matter I love to paint. I love working with fine detail and I enjoy creating pieces that reflect a delicate balance between realism and creativity. I create original artworks focused on African wildlife (birds are a particular favourite of mine), as well as African portraiture. I also offer a range of limited-edition prints, and a couple of other products featuring a few selected pieces. Deeply passionate about the African wilderness, I strive to use my artwork to promote conservation awareness where I can.
This species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). The population trend appears to be increasing, and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern.
