Extinction

​

 “Not everyone can visit the wild places on Earth but paintings, however small, can take us there, and in their remarkable way allow us to partake of something big, something much bigger than ourselves.”

​

“Africa has been a huge inspiration to me and I probably owe my success in watercolour to painting wildlife in the African bush. In trying to find a method to paint quickly and boldly in the fast drying heat of the Kalahari, I developed a deep love and understanding of watercolour. I refined my palette, honed my brushwork and shaped my African paintings. The exhibitions, commissions, television series, books, DVDs, lectures and magazine articles, have all come about through my passion for watercolour, so I have a lot for which to thank the African bush!”
