Happy New Year - 2016

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year and welcome back to my blog. I am now open for business as usual, delivery times are back to normal - weather permitting. Is now the time to invest your Christmas money in a truly unique piece of artwork? Remember you will automatically help charities when you buy an original or a print of my work, whatever piece you choose.

Reflection & Thanks 2015

Firstly I want to thank each and everyone of you for your continued support it really means the world to me and I wouldn't have continued with my venture if it wasn't for you. So a big big 'Thank You'. 2015 has been an extremely rewarding and successful year with many highlights which I will take a moment to summarise.

Born Free Partnership

Born Free Partnership

The killing of Cecil the lion ( c. 2002 – 1 July 2015) caused global outrage and I was personally extremely upset and angry. Cecil was a male Southwest African lion (Panthera leo bleyenberghi) he lived primarily in the Hwange National Park in Matabeleland North, Zimbabwe.
