CREATIVE STATEMENT
Curiosity sparked my fascination with wildlife illustration. It began with a curiosity about birds and their species, which naturally expanded to include a wide variety of animals and wildlife. Over the years, my expertise has been shaped by the diverse projects I've had the privilege to illustrate, ranging from the arid landscapes of the Sonoran Desert to the lush woodlands of Britain. Each of these projects has enabled me to immerse myself in the unique habitats of the creatures I portray. I have gained invaluable insights into their behaviours, movements, and the rich lore surrounding them. I translate these observations into vibrant, dynamic images that capture the essence of the animals in both their natural environments and surreal scenarios. My approach to animal illustration incorporates elements of magical realism, where I strive to accurately depict the animal while subtly enhancing an aspect of them in a dream-like way.
