WELCOME TO MY WEB GALLERY
Here you can find examples of my work and information about where and when it can be viewed in the cyber and real world.
Having grown up in Africa at an early age I developed a deep and abiding
passion for the natural world. I try in my paintings and drawings to capture
what I "feel" about this wonderful place, beyond just how it
looks. It has so many moods, not only the action-packed excitement, but
the magic peaceful times, with magnificent creatures going about their
daily lives in that vast and fascinating arena that is Africa. A constant
challenge is to capture some of the essence of this awe inspiring vastness
and beauty on a canvas or piece of paper. I very much regard animals as
individuals and try to make my representations of them "portraits"
rather than just studies of a species. Artistically my inspiration is
varied, from the refined restraint of Japanese screen painting to the
painterly works of John Singer Sargent. Light for me is the unifying factor
that draws composition together and harmonizes color. I hope that my many
years of ongoing study of the scientific side of natural history provide
a very solid factual foundation on which to express my passion for the
wonder of the natural world.
It is not just Africa that inspires me. I have lived nearly half of my
life in North America so draw much inspiration from its beauty and wildlife,
as I do from the many places I have been fortunate enough to visit on
our wonderful planet. What an exciting adventure. If there sis one thing
I hope that you get from looking at this work it is that all of this beauty
is worth trying to preserve for future generations.
