ARTIST STATEMENT
Growing up near a rain-forest, and as a tour guide in Trinidad and Tobago, I quickly became obsessed with all the fishes, birds, and beetles in my backyard. My passion for nature has led me to explore the beauty of our planet through an artistic lens. I use watercolour to capture each tiny detail, from the vibrant colours and patterns of a Mantis Shrimp to the delicate feathers of a Barn Owl and soft fur of the Amur Leopard. As an artist, I want to shine a light on a diverse and complex world we often overlook or can't even see. I hope my paintings can inspire others to take action to protect and preserve nature for future generations.
