Due to the current situation, I am unfortunately unable to ship orders to the United States at this time. I hope all shipping options will be available again soon.
I have two online courses,
Ocean Spirit - Introduction to watercolor and dotwork and
Blended - A beginner's guide to water-mixable oils.
Both are perfect for beginners!
I’m honored to have been asked by Explorers against Extinction to be part of the On The Brink collection this year. The collection will be exhibited at the gallery@oxo in London in November, and sold by online auction alongside the Sketch for Survival competition finalists.
50% of the proceeds will be donated to support wildlife conservation. I’m thrilled to contribute to protecting the incredible species that inspire my art.
I have decided to send my coral reef painting 'Dualisme' from 2024. It will be framed and ready to hang in its new home after the exhibition. I will send out a newsletter as soon as the auction is live!

An A0 print of my orca piece 'Stealth' was on display in the VIP lounge at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) as part of the Explorers Against Extinction exhibit. The orcas were up for auction through Explorers Against Extinction, with 100% of the sales price going towards wildlife conservation. The original was exhibited in London in November 2021.
