" The natural world is an amazing thing. From the humble bee and its role in pollination, to the fact that every time an African elephant takes a step, it creates a home for other animals, as its footprint fills with water. Every living thing has a purpose, it exists for a reason, has a role to play and contributes in some way to making the world a beautiful place ... unfortunately with one exception - modern man. By painting wildlife, it's as if I become a part of that beautiful world, and by contributing funds from my paintings to animal welfare and conservation charities, I hope to undo a little of the damage done by humanity."
