"The loud rattling calls of the female Belted Kingfisher can be heard from a distance - I have one on the pond just outside my window and watch her as she hunts - plunging into the water from her high perch diving after a fish, or hovering over the water looking downward. Here I have depicted her perched on an old row boat - both ready for their next fishing trip out "into the blue".

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.""
