The diversity of life on Earth is astounding, even in the face of an extinction crisis, but in our race for survival we have forgotten just how spirited each individual animal we live alongside is. Bolstered by an academic background in feline biology, and armed with my unique, neurodivergent perspective of the world I am an artist on a mission: to encourage empathy for wildlife on an individual level.

 

I paint animals at the individual level, considering their strengths, worries, flaws and unique traits - wrapped up in a wealth of energy inspired by Ancient Egyptian iconology. With every watercolour I create I aim to honour the animals I paint, inspire viewers to connect with them, and educate people about just how amazing - and important - each individual animal is.
