Advocating for nature and animals through art

I am an artist interested in the natural world. I create work about nature conservation and animal welfare. My interest comes from the belief that this is a shared planet, not just here for human activity and consumption, but shared with many incredible species. I believe other species not only provide the planet with richness and diversity, but that it is their home too and this needs protecting.

For humans, building a relationship with nature can be intrinsic to our health and wellbeing, even offering means of healing. Nature can remind us of things much bigger than us. That we are a part of nature – not separate or above.

I see creativity as one of our best attributes, allowing us to explore, learn and play. When nature and creativity are connected, this can give room for change and hope.

Through my work, I provide space to consider our perceptions of other species, habitats and the treatment of animal. So that in everyday life, we can find ways to protect and care for them, and respectfully co-exist.
