This highly detailed, painted life-size, swallowtail butterfly is from my 'Sweet Spot' series which celebrates the incredible diversity of UK pollinators. The delicate shadowplay gives the piece a 3D feel, as if the little insect is in your home. The series was inspired by attending the Pollinator Festival in Bristol Botanic Gardens. Most people know about bumblebee and butterflies but many flies, beetles, moths and wasps are important pollinators too. By painting them on traditional gesso panels, which take several days of careful preparation and finishing, I want to invoke a feeling of jewel-like preciousness to each and every one. A small hole in the back of the panel allows the painting to be hung on the wall on a nail, alternatively it can be displayed free-standing on a surface.

I am a fine art acrylic painter based in Bristol. Living and working in an urban environment has shaped and influenced my practice. My main focus is the ongoing competition for space between an ever-expanding human population and their animal neighbours, an evolving intricate jigsaw. I’m fascinated by the meeting point between these two worlds, examining the cross connections. My paintings are highly detailed, presented on simple or minimal backgrounds and strive to capture a sense of quiet beauty, allowing the viewer time to pause and reconnect with nature. I work on wood panels, created by myself and my father. The panel shapes themselves are influenced by the shapes, architecture and negative spaces of the man-made landscape and are used to create a stage my creatures can interact with. I have exhibited in London, Glasgow, Dublin, New York, Toronto, Singapore and Hong Kong. In 2009 I won the BBC Wildlife Artist of the Year- British Mammals and in 2016 was shortlisted for the David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the Year.
