values and conservation
Animals have always been at the heart of my work — not as symbols or decoration, but as living beings with agency, intelligence, and a right to exist without apology. My art is driven by a deep respect for wildlife and a growing frustration with how often animals are pushed to the margins by human expansion, convenience, and indifference. I draw animals as they are: resilient, vulnerable, weathered, and still standing. I’m not interested in romanticising the wild. I want to honour it — and confront what threatens it. Conservation is not separate from my practice; it is woven into it. I am proud to be an ambassador for Dogs4Wildlife, supporting their work to protect endangered species through innovative conservation detection dog programmes. I also regularly donate artwork to wildlife conservation organisations including Explorers Against Extinction and The Big Cat Sanctuary, helping raise awareness and vital funds for species at risk. I believe art has the power to create connection — and connection creates responsibility. If my work can stop someone, make them look longer, feel more deeply, or question their role in the world we share, then it’s doing its job. My hope is that each piece exists not just as an image, but as a quiet act of resistance — against apathy, against loss, and against the idea that wildlife is expendable.
The Last Witness They stand side by side in a world that has taken almost everything. Two bodies holding the end of a story that never learned to stop taking. Both female. Both carrying futures that will never arrive. The air is quiet where it should remember them. The ground holds no answers. They remain— not as hope, but as witness. Alive long enough to feel the ending.
“Last Known Location” He looks straight at us. Still here. Still aware. But already slipping. The map begins to show through him — not suddenly, but slowly. Lines and borders replacing fur. This is how it happens. Quietly. Wild dogs are built to move. To range, to adapt, to exist without limits. As that space disappears, so do they — not all at once, but in fragments. Reduced to records. To sightings. To a last known location. His eyes remain clear. Intelligent. Unfinished. He isn’t gone.
Misunderstood confronts the way fear has shaped the fate of the hammerhead shark. Often persecuted and vilified, this powerful species now faces critically low numbers, pushed to the edge by misunderstanding rather than necessity. The composition captures both strength and vulnerability — a reminder that dominance in form does not equal invincibility. This piece asks the viewer to look beyond fear, to recognise balance, and to consider what is lost when we choose control over coexistence.
