ARTIST BIO Hi, I am an environmental artist on Kangaroo Island. I love islands and their diverse range of niches and then how creatures speciate quickly. My past has been in biology, working in Mexico, the USA and Heron Island as a taxonomist. Today, I am enjoying painting and drawing as a full time artist on Kangaroo Island, a very special place indeed. My work is contemporary where I abstract ideas and emotions of challenges nature face.
