I was born in Torquay, a small town on the south west coast of England, so the sea has always been in my life. Seeing an orca for the first time when I was eight years old sparked a lifelong fascination with cetaceans and a particular passion for drawing them. I graduated from the University of Plymouth in 2008 with a Bachelor's degree in Media Arts and, shortly afterwards, had the opportunity to work with a variety of marine animals as an educator at the UK's only coastal zoo. At the end of 2009 I moved to Atlanta, Georgia to be with my fiancé and currently work as an educator at the world's largest aquarium, where I get to share my passion for the aquatic environment and its incredible animals every day.

 

My intention as an artist is to inspire and to educate. I'd love for my art to raise awareness of marine issues and motivate others to take action and help ensure the health of our oceans.
