While photography has always been an interest, my painting adventure
began after visiting a wildlife art exhibition in Melbourne, Australia.As I had graduated from
Melbourne University with a BA(Hons) specialising in international relations and the study of
developing countries my interest turned to portraying the primates and other exotic species of these
regions.

My aim is to capture their unique personalities and hope they will inspire you to learn more
about wildlife and conservation measures needed to save many species from extinction.
Exploring ways to create colorful contemporary images featuring animals, flowers and other
elements of nature is an exciting new venture for me in both painting and photography.

I have exhibited extensively in art exhibitions in Victoria and welcome enquiries regarding
commissions to paint portraits of specific local zoo animal residents. Giclee prints of all these
images can be ordered from Fine Art America. Original paintings may be available locally.
