About

My work aims to showcase the biodiversity of life on our planet, often by paying particular respect to zoology specimens found in museum research collections around the world. My process involves sifting through these assemblages to find inspiration, both on site and through digital databases. A merging of visual expression and scientific illustration, my subjects are isolated on white backgrounds reminiscent of artwork found in educational materials. I paint with the mindset of a scientist - recreating each subject as accurately as possible. In most cases, the specimens are depicted at life-scale. My current body of work pays tribute to pollinator species while also calling to mind their fragility as populations decline with the changing environment.
