African Bull Elephant. The primary focus of my art is our natural environment. I have a strong commitment to express the urgency of protecting and promoting conservation by donating portions of my sales to conservation causes. I work with oils or acrylics specializing in depicting the natural beauty of my surroundings. Much of my passion to paint came from early childhood influences, such as studying the art of revered artist Robert Bateman. Watching episodes of Jacques Cousteau served as kindling for the intense desire to capture the spirit ever so delicate in nature. Each day brings a new experience and I strive to make positive growth in my abilities as an Artist.
