​"Like most people I have a love of the natural world and birds, in particular, are my favourites.

The excitement of seeing a creature in the wild, photographing it and using that image as a basis for a painting, gives me a never ending supply of inspiration to continue my craft.

I would like to convey to you, the viewer, a little of my happiness when observing these amazing creatures.  On a more serious note, I paint to highlight the value and beauty of our feathered friends and the need to conserve their habitat, the nest hollows in old trees and food resources.

​"It would be an empty world without the songs of birds."
