Welcome

All my life I have walked through a world full of amazement, joy and discovery. The rich diversity of the natural world that I discovered in childhood forged an emotional bond that has steered my direction in life. From a degree in zoology, through a career in habitat restoration to realising my true calling as an artist, I have worked to sustain and share this connection.

Today though, the findings of IPBES Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity & Ecosystem Services are devastating and mind-numbing in scale. For us to be responsible for the extinction of even one species horrifies me beyond measure. I refuse though, to lose hope and be overwhelmed into inactivity. Each of us has a role to play in bringing about transformational change and even the smallest of actions can start a butterfly effect.

You can learn more about me below. You can also get to know me a little more informally in my Blog.
