DRAWN TO NATURE

I am a natural history artist and illustrator based in the Australian island state of Tasmania - one of the most beautiful islands in the world. My artistic style is influenced by the techniques and traditions of classical zoological illustration, and the visual documentation of early voyages of discovery. I have a fascination for the disciplines of drawing, art, science and natural history, and enjoy exploring the creative possibilities of these interrelated fields. I am also the illustrator of the award-winning natural history book Animals of Tasmania: Wildlife of an Incredible Island by Sally Bryant. Please feel free to contact me with any enquiries.
