I'm a full-time artist, painting in watercolors. Though I have painted quite a few other subjects, I primarily focusing on wildlife, animals & birds, nature, and environmental subjects in my work.
My artwork is “realism” or “realistic” style of detailed painting, also referred to as "painting in miniature", and is inspired by my own research and study of the species. I show my paintings at various venues in the USA and Europe in exhibitions and shows as well as a number of galleries.
My paintings and/or prints are often used to help raise funds for organizations that help wildlife by preserving wild habitats, rehabilitating injured animals & birds, and helping to educate the public about protecting species and wild environments for them.

Hi Rebecca, big show coming up (well, big for me lol) all in aid of chimp research, Leigh and I are donating about 15 paintings each to raise money for the Tacugama Chimp Sanctuary in Sierra Leone, West Africa and a new chimp facility at Monarto Zoo near Adelaide, where the exhibition is being held, on the same day as Dr Jane Goodall opens the chimp facility. Hope she can swing past our exhibition (which will also have some real chimpanzee's art - hope it's not better than ours LOL)
