In The Artist's Own Words:
I have been photographing landscapes for a while now, that is until I  went to Africa! I have always had an affinity for Africa, it’s wildlife  and it’s people. I ventured there in September 2009, returning 6 months  later. It has been one of the most rewarding and life changing  experiences for me. I feel like I have found my calling in life, to  record these majestic wild animals as fine art animal portraits whilst  raising money from print proceeds to help conservation groups with much  needed funding to save our wildlife from poaching, loss of habitat etc.  I’m hoping as I gain more recognition, my wildlife photography will have  more of an impact on such an important cause. I am currently raising  funds for the I.G.C.P (International Gorilla Conservation Programme) and  Big Life Foundation.  I was born in New Zealand, yes, a Kiwi through and through, currently  residing in Western Australia with my two amazing children Connor and  Paige, our cat Cougar, Houdini and Mr Sniffles, our two pet rats, and  about 50 goldfish (they keep breeding) ☺
