# About me
Worked as a freelance artist on various animated film productions for companies including Warner Bros. and Dreamworks, working in London, Vancouver and Valencia.Now making trips to various RSPB, WWT, Wildlife and National Trust reserves and the UK's coastline sketching our fantastic birds and the odd seal from life. Rarely getting a chance to sit and work from photos at home the majority of my work is produced outdoors sketching from life, with the odd bird painting produced for the Derbyshire Ornithological Society. On an Osprey sketching trip I met Rutland Osprey Educator and author Ken Davies and illustrated his book "Ozzie Leads the Way" (for children 8+ and available to buy from Rutland Water Egleton Reserve and Walkers Books, Oakham. All proceeds to the Rutland Osprey Project).
