I am a born and bred Southern African and live in awe of the natural world around me.  Although I enjoy an international reputation for my highly detailed pencil drawings (A War Artists Diary) as I grow older I relish the opportunity to capture the colour and action of the open veld.  The plains, rivers and mountains of the region are home to the most incredible diversity of species - some of them endangered - and they inspire my paintings and experiences. I hope my work will give you the pleasure it has given me in its making.  Welcome to my world!
