Welcome to my online gallery!
My animal portraits celebrate Australia’s native wildlife and the awe and joy these creatures bring us.
I also create portraits that capture the energy and deep connection we feel with our beloved pets.
My use of oil pastels and rich textured media draws attention to the life-force and sentience of diverse creatures
— prompting viewers to pause and consider what it must be like to be an entirely different being, watching humans.
On the ‘sketches’ page, I share a peak behind the scenes, with a selection of concept sketches.

Who am I?
I am passionate about deep connection with nature and my mission is to inspire others.
During a difficult time in 2021, I rekindled a childhood love of artwork to sustain my wellbeing. I’ve been developing my art practice ever since.
My work is informed by my studies in evolutionary biology and ecology. My passion for inspiring deeper connections with nature really crystallised during my doctoral research into the meaning and benefits of human-nature connection.
I hope you get joy and inspiration from my work. If you have a favourite animal and would like me to create a portrait - please contact me with any questions.
Pencil or ink drawings on card paper range from $80 - $200 and oil pastels on canvas or timber range from $200 - $800 depending on size.
