"I am fascinated by my world.
I love to read about the marvels of the human body and brain, how trees communicate, how fish think or how diverse the insect kingdom is. My most treasured experiences are encounters with nature – diving with sharks, dolphins and manta rays, appreciating the tiniest creatures on coral reefs, looking for nesting turtles in the middle of the night, being within meters of a wild leopard or pondering on what a tree may have seen in it’s lifetime. It has made me appreciate just how interconnected, exquisite and precious life on our planet is. My paintings and sculptures are about celebrating these connections and about finding meaning and purpose in my own life through my body, my heart and my voice."
