Hope, Acrylic on Canvas texture paper , 16.5 x 11.7”
Inspired by Emmanuel Keller’s original photography. The cheetah’s backdrop was altered to resemble that of a setting sun because I wanted to create a visual reminder of the fragility of our natural world and the urgency to protect endangered species. The fading light of the sun is emblematic in a way of the fading hope for the cheetah’s future. However, the painting is one of hope because we still have time to safeguard the beautiful animals with whom we share the planet. Exhibited at Exhibition Wildlife Art and featured in Wild Heart Gallery’s Masters of Wildlife Art 2023 International Juried Art Exhibition Best in Category for Painting

Summer Fox, 2022, Acrylic and mixed media on flat canvas panel, 40 x 40 cm
Inspired by the colours and feelings of Summer. This piece incorporates paper colllage elements and there is also use of gold paint which gives a magical ‘sparkle’ effect when it catches the light. On a personal level, this piece was created during a time of unbalance in the artist’s life. The fox’s gaze provides a focus point with the intention of steadying and absorbing the viewer.

A New Strength, 2022, Acrylic & Watercolour Pencil on Watercolour Paper, 29.7 x 42 cm, SOLD
The initial inspiration for this piece was the mix of vulnerability and strength in the tiger’s gaze. So often we think of a tiger in terms of strength but they are of course endangered. This work has very special meaning for the artist as it was painting during a very personally challenging time. The painting became a symbol of determination. We can still be strong whilst possessing qualities that make us vulnerable.
