ARTIST STATEMENT

The beauty of animals captivates me.

Their truth, instinct and innocence grounds me.

All I ever wanted to do was to be surrounded by animals, they tell you exactly who they are through their eyes and their behaviour.

Humans create so much pain for so many animals and without a voice they can’t tell their stories. I try to speak for them through my images.

I produce bodies of work which look at animal issues whilst also portraying the beauty of the animal.

I like to represent my subjects as the individual souls and personalities they are.

All animals are worthy of a happy, enriched life. All of them. The dog chained up in the backyard. The chicken at the factory farm. The bird in the cage. The tiger at the zoo.The pig in the sow stall. All of them.
