"Intensity" Painting

Nature has always been my escape, especially after growing up in a busy city. That’s why I ended up in Africa in 2019, earning my Field and Trails Guide certification. Being out in the bush really changed things for me—I fell even harder for the landscape and its wildlife and became more passionate about protecting it.

I paint in watercolor, oil, and pencil, focusing on portrayals of aliveness. While African wildlife—big cats, elephants, and the like—holds a special place in my heart, I love painting creatures and landscapes from anywhere. My goal is to capture the spirit of a place or animal and the peaceful bond we have with the natural world.

I’ve been lucky enough to be part of some great exhibitions, like the Wildlife Artist of the Year and the ARC Salon Realism competition, and I’m proud to contribute to groups like Artists for Conservation and Artists for Painted Dogs. Through my art, I hope to remind people of the beauty in nature and why it’s worth protecting.
