All my life I have been fascinated by the diversity and beauty of the natural world.
My painting endeavours initially started with botanical illustration with its countless range of forms, colours and textures. More recently I have encompassed British birds and butterflies, and some natural history specimens e.g. shells and feathers.
I love the delicacy that is achieved with watercolour paints and I like to portray my subjects with a minimum of background in order to accentuate the detail of the colours and forms, whilst also illustrating their natural habitat.
I paint flowers and still life objects from “real life” but birds mainly from photographs, the latter being less accommodating.
