I was super delighted with the enthusiastic response that my painting ‘The Albatrosses of the Prince Edward Islands’ generated at the live auction that was held onboard the ‘Flock to Marion AGAIN! 2025 voyage, organised by @birdlife_sa. This painting was created specifically to generate funds for the @mousefreemarion project, which is aiming to eradicate invasive mice from Marion island to protect it’s globally important and remarkable seabirds. To raise funds for this vital project, the original artwork has now found a new home, and I am making available limited edition giclée prints of the original artwork. 50 % of all proceeds generated from the sale of the prints will be donated to the project. Click on the link to the print in my bio if you are interested in purchasing one of these prints and supporting the project to rid the island of the devastating effects of the mice on these beautiful birds. #mousefreemarion #seabirds #birdillustration #artforacause #wildlifeillustration #birdartist #albatross #antarctica #birdlife_sa

A new artwork in my Bird Portrait series. Chinstrap Penguins are endearing and curious birds with their pale grey downy chicks. We were lucky enough to work with these wonderful birds on South Georgia. It was such a privilege to spend time with them. #penguins #southgeorgiaisland #birdart #southatlantic #birdillustration

To celebrate this months 'World Whale Day' I have compiled a selection of my whale inspired illustrations. Whales are such captivating giants of the ocean and I find myself returning to them in my art again and again. Appropriately, we are now living in one of the best places to watch whales on the Whale Coast of South Africa. #whales #whaleart #worldwhaleday #marineart #whalecoast

A gift for a special person who has a particular love of the song of the Black-headed Oriole. A reminder of the spectacular wildlife found in The Crags, along the Garden Route of South Africa.

It has been a long break for me from Instagram. The past year has been a busy one. We have moved off the farm to a wonderful heritage village, a short drive to the Whale Coast of South Africa. I have finally settled in my new studio and home and feel ready to share what I have been creating this past year. This is a new artwork depicting the sea-life of the Southern Oceans, embracing colourful patterns, titled ‘For the love of sea mammals’. These will be available as prints soon. #whales #dolphins #sealife #patterns #ocean #animalillustration
