“The North American River Otter is equally at home in the water and on land. It makes its home in a burrow near the water's edge. Their strong tail and elongated body make it a terrific swimmer. On land they prefer life on the shores of lakes, marshes and streams.
This pair had been playing in the water and pulled out onto the river bank to dry off in the sun. As the sun hit the male it shone on its fur with glints of gold and rust – the pair looked majestic.”

My journey as a Wildlife Artist is one of constant learning. Choosing subjects, learning about their struggles as a species, developing ideas for how best to paint them are ongoing for every painting - bringing that image out in paint is an absolute joy and so rewarding.
"“One of the strengths of wildlife art is its ability to tell stories. In my paintings I try to bring out the individuality of each animal as it goes about its everyday life - I use my brush to tell their stories.""
