If you'd like to buy a drawing of a particular species from me, but you don't see it in my shop, please ask if I have it.
I have dozens of drawings in my filing cabinet, most of them are part of various large commissions
(I usually draw species separately and combine them on my computer when designing the final artwork, together with the text, if required),
so there's always a chance I might have exactly what you need :)
Bees, those tiny but mighty creatures, have long captivated the hearts of artists and nature enthusiasts.
For the past two weeks, I've been portraying a collection of Irish pollinators, including bees, bee flies, and one majestic moth.

Last year I took a break from the drawing workshops with children, as I was working on a contract and didn't have enough time for both.
But now I'm available again to take bookings. I always combine my wildlife drawing workshops with animal facts, and, if the venue allows, with scavenger hunts –…
Aww, could this be any cuter?
This seal dives right into your heart and steals your soul.
Seals, also known as pinnipeds, are found worldwide but prefer cold waters of the northern and southern hemispheres.
Swift and agile in water, these mammals come out on the surface to relax, mate and sometimes protect themselves from predators such as sharks.
Alas, they are hunted, put into captives and trained mercilessly to perform tricks in circuses and shows.…
As I walked through the snowy forest, something impossibly bright caught my eye. Perched neatly among the branches was a European robin – sitting, of all things, on a candy cane.
