I interpret the natural world using watery mediums. Using bold colours, an immersive perspective and a scientifically-accurate depiction of marine life, I create contrast with semi-abstract and fluid environments. I experiment with traditional watercolour approaches creating a contemporary feel. Using different approaches I enhance my subjects with texture, and I let the watery paints/inks drive the creation of my backgrounds. I am a marine biologist, palaeontologist and artist who is inspired by the complexities of life in the ancient and present-day oceans. I’m seeking to highlight nature’s subtle and everyday beauty, tell nature’s stories and reveal some of its secrets.
