A new venture for myself and fellow artist Amanda Yearsley. The idea behind the Izilwane (which means animals in Zulu) cooperative is to provide affordable, easy to pack, lightweight original art, or limited edition prints that will take up no space in your suitcase and are pre-mounted and ready to frame. Artwork ranges from hand…

In honour of the tank puppies
This week was spent painting rhinos, my favourite of all the big beasts!
White Rhino
Painting rhinos will always be a passion. I was recently commissioned to paint a mother and baby white rhino that once finished would fly to its forever home in Munich, Germany. The colours were specified and the size was 120 cm X 100 cm to fit a large empty wall in the clients living room….

A Big Black Rhinoceros
As I am sure you have gathered by now the rhino is my favourite of all the living creatures. Living where we do I am fortunate enough to be able to see them as often as I want. Sadly the plight of the rhino has become extreme with poachers steadily destroying any chance of this…
A very precious oversized commodity
These amazingly majestic creatures are among my favourite of all the animals and living where we do we are fortunate enough to be able to see them on a daily basis. These gentle giants can be a little intimidating, especially when threatened and charge at what is frightening them. Phil and I experienced this first…
