About myself
Living the first 15 years of my life in India strongly influenced my view of our world, and initiated my love of wild places and wildlife. From the mid 70s I lived in Southern Africa for over 8 years, indulging my passion for wildlife and the vast conservation areas that exist there. In the 90s I did research in Kenya which led to a MSc in Conservation Biology. Drawing and painting had been part of my life from the beginning, but its execution was mainly for my pleasure. In 2000 I decided to put greater emphasis on painting and started to exhibit at annual shows. In 2008 I became a full time artist.
