I have been drawing and keeping an array of small animals since I was a child. These interests have become my career and I now hold an MSc in Animal Behaviour as well as formal teaching qualifications.

In addition to my commission and exhibition art projects, I also teach art to children and adults and have run very successful art classes for many years at the Waikato Society of Arts School in Hamilton. I have held several solo exhibitions and have exhibited in numerous other combined exhibitions. My work has been sold overseas into both the USA and UK.

My current animal companions include a very energetic Blue Heeler and a large collection of canaries, budgies and tropical fish.
