Artist. Animals. Mentor.

My art pays homage to the beauty of nature

Artwork

My realistic style honours the design nature has given each animal for its successful existence. I invite you to share my love for these amazing creatures and celebrate the gift that they are to us.

Mentoring

My love for drawing in graphite and coloured pencil is shared in two mentor programs. Let me guide you to becoming the best artist you can be.

Courses

My online courses help you overcome any challenges you may have when using graphite or coloured pencils. Through years of experience, I share my knowledge and support. Let's share our love of animals and art together.

Fresh off the drawing board!

I just love drawing leopards and this one was so much fun!

I witnessed this leopard working his way through the long grass to quench his thirst on a warm Zambian afternoon. Our fantastic guide put us in the perfect position to watch him drink.

It's always exciting to see a leopard in the wild, and even more special to see one out in the open. I love the fact I can share these special moments through my art.

Working with my favourite medium of graphite

Artists today are spoilt for choice in terms of the mediums and surfaces they can work with. My favourite is graphite on Arches aquarelle in this large format, and of course, drawing African wildlife!
