I love animals and my early childhood memories are of rainy weekends at Winsor Safari Park, I remember thinking all those exotic animals looked quite out of place in our not so exotic weather conditions!
Later during the '80's my family moved to Spain for a few years and I spent my childhood with several family dogs and cats. I rode my bicycle exploring the countryside and encountered more exotic animals like Scorpions, Snakes, Lizards, a lot of Goats and the odd Donkey! It wasn't quite like "My family and other Animals" but it was near enough when coupled with a strong imagination and sense of adventure and exploration. This meant I was naturally drawn to Animal Portraiture when I became an Artist after having spent a brief stint as an Advertising Photographer.
Now I have been an accomplished artist for over 15 years
and these days I work on various projects and you can find some of my other work HERE.
