Full Artist Bio
In my work, I like to capture animals at times of solitude. When the animals are totally at ease and there’s a gentleness or a vulnerability about them. In these moments, I feel that they are sharing something secret and intimate, that they share only with me.
I use oils, acrylics, watercolour or, probably most often, coloured pencil. Whatever the method or medium, they are tools to preserve that moment of extraordinary beauty.
Once I’m there, once I’ve caught it, then I want to pass it on. I want other people to see what I saw, and to feel what I felt. My job, as I see it, is to create an emotion.
