Being passionate about the environment, wildlife and pets, I love to capture the beauty of animals in my art work.

Originally from Northumberland, I've now lived in the little village of Ford in Argyll, Scotland for the last 21 years, and what a beautiful place to be!

I'm a Wildlife Ranger running a charity promoting environmental education and celebrating the amazing diverse range of species we have in Knapdale, in the Heart of Argyll.

When I'm not out working with a school group, taking a guided walk, or showing people around our visitor centre (or trudging through all the admin tasks at the computer) as a Ranger, I love spending time with my horses and dogs. I'm so lucky to have a job that is my dream come true, and is hard to define as 'work' most days. I have also found a way to express my adoration for all animals, whether wild or our beloved pets, by creating them in coloured pencil drawings, which is what I do most evenings.
