Why ‘Lashes’?

Prints have arrived for my painting of the beautiful giraffe calf I’ve entitled ‘Lashes’. A couple of people have asked me where the idea came from. Well the answer is simple. I was sourcing images of giraffes because I thought the wonderful golden...

‘Packing Up’ ready for packing up!

Prints of my three wolves, ‘Packing Up’, have arrived so I can start sending out to customers from today. I couldn’t believe my baby giraffe calf I’ve called ‘Lashes’, because of its beautiful long eye lashes, sold within half an...

Off to Paris….

  Over the moon today as I’ve just sold my ‘Lines of Love’ original to a property dealer in Paris.   Albeit in sad circumstances he wants it as a gift for a friend who recently lost his son. It’s always difficult to know what to say...

Frame, set and match

You choose!

I’ve just finished and immediately sold ‘Amber’ (pictured) which is a bit of a diversion from my usual approach to creating my wildlife artwork.   Here ‘Amber’ is a beautiful tame fox that visits her adopted human family every day...
