This is my second rhino painting, this time a white rhino. The rhino is from a photograph taken by my friends Dave Line and Kylie Carter at an elephant orphanage in Nairobi in 2001. I have painted him in a meadow in the early morning mist among some echinacea (photographed from my garden) and painted a different colour to fit in with the surroundings. I called him Ghost because in the photo he had wallowed in some clay or mud and it had left a sort of mardi gras skeletal mask on his face! This painting looks different depending on what time of day it is and what sort of light is streaming through the window. Even in the dark, his face glows out of the wall!

I have had no formal training and therefore my art is purely my perception and interpretation of what I see with my eyes and also in my imagination. I am inspired by the beauty and majesty of nature and the child within me is inspired by the fantasy world which is why apart from animals and flowers, I also love to paint whimsical characters and sometimes the two cross over. I usually photograph a creature in a cage or zoo and then I paint them in a beautiful ideal world. By doing this I paint what I want to see, i.e. free and surrounded by safety and beauty, not the reality. A world I love to live in. I usually see something in my every day life that suddenly gives me an idea. Then through visualisation I am able to see in my mind what the painting will look like. As the painting progresses, other ideas may come to me, but usually the image I see at first in my head is the one that appears on the canvas. I have used oils, Caran D'Ache pencils, charcoals and watercolours in the past. But now my favourite medium is acrylics on canvas.
