Traditional Wildlife and Nature Images

I have been drawing and painting natural history for many years.  In 2010 I exhibited two pieces of work as a finalist at Wildlife Artist of the Year in Mall Galleries, London through the David Shepherd Wildlfie Foundation (check out their website for details of the 2011 exhibition).

Photographed by Graham Shackleton


One of the pieces I exhibited in the endangered species section was this White Rhino, drawn in graphite and ink.  It is for sale through the DSWF online shop.
The second piece was a  more creative  depiction of the Amazon rainforest.  It can be seen in the 'Creative Nature' section of my blogsite ( coming soon to this site!).
